Any car, especially German, or Porsche for that matter (skip Ferrari...) is expensive to maintain at around 80-120k miles.
You are looking at redoing all suspension, many electrical issues (windows, roof) and maybe some other problems.

However, if you spend extra 30k, you can get to a much newer that will not need about 4k in parts plus labor right away.
so, it is your choice.

I mean, you can neglect it and drive it as is.
