if it has 102k miles... RUN and RUN fast and far.... dont even worry about the lights. just my.02, but from the looks of it, that means the spoiler.. or engine hatch..

spoiler malfunction. could be that he has a fixed wing and never took the car to the dealer for reprograming. The other light is that he has the engine cover or the trunk open. (maybe for the pictures). If it has 106K miles, make sure all the usual suspects are taken care of, otherwise you will end with some heavy maintenance bills. but I wouldn't run from it.

the spoiler light comes on in my car every startup for a few seconds and goes off. Could well be nothing to worry about, but 100k is alot for a 911 and be ready for maintenance bills.
