No PPI, no sale should be your answer to the 06 seller. Don't buy a Porsche unless you've had it properly checked, it could be a very expensive mistake if you don't.
The fact the he is trying to rush you should make you wary.
The 06 can still have an IMS failure although it's supposed to be less likely.
Don't be in a rush, take your time and make sure you're getting the car you want.

Yea I am a little worried about buying a car without PPI as well. The owner said he is trading in the car so he needs to get it out of contract by this week if selling privately.

Two completely different cars, two big $$ differences. Apple and Oranges decision.
05 much more refined but that costs.
If you can afford the $$ difference get newer car but must be based on PPI.
The seller, a Porsche owner, should know that this is standard for most buyers of these types of cars
If the 05 is a good car, you'll be starting out a long term ownership with a newer car
