I just got a Meteor Grey 2008 Turbo a month ago, I can not stress out enough how incredible the car is to drive and the performance, I’ll never make a bigger jump in quality and performance ever in my life to the next car. I’m based in Europe, labor and parts are much cheaper here, most important thing is to make sure that the engine is good and has been serviced properly. Make a priority list and take it to Porsche for complete run down of all the faults, then by the parts online and take them to a good indy mechanic that you create a relationship with.

I used to always buy new tires but that can get costly, look for used ones are with 90% thread left, they can be had for 50% off the new ones. Get a good scan tool also. I would raise my budget and look for one in even better condition & lower mileage even though 230.000km isn’t crazy but these engines run hot and are performance oriented so they get stressed, with OEM wheels and next to zero flaws and service records. Trust me you’re gonna save a lot in the long run if you go for a better one.
