Yes, first find the mechanic.

Then visit. Observe the cars they are working on and what they are doing to them, If you see engines on stands and techs working on the innards, that is a good sign. Race prep work being done, an even better sign. Ask about labor rates. Flat rate by the book or actual? Ask what a 90k service typically costs with your trans. That is the most comprehensive one Porsche calls for most times.

Ask about a Pre-Purchase-Inspection and ask to see a copy of one they have done.

Then visit the car and form a drivers opinion. Ask about the PPI. Remember you are paying.

Then listen to the mechanic tell you what needs to be done. If big, walk away. If medium, negotiate with the seller. If small, buy and arrange to have the work done.
