Problem areas? It has 85,000 miles. Thanks for your help! This will be an occasional family hauler.

1) Coolant Pipes replaced?
2) Cardan Shaft done?
3) Coil packs recalled?
4) Check power steering pump
5) Fuel Filter flange done(check rear carpet, if cut)
Those are the five most pressing issues....

he got pretty much important stuff covered.
I would also look for creaks/sounds from car as you drive it harder than just put putting. Some develop annoying sounds when you drive/turn.
Check how much pads/rotors are on there left too. If about to be replaced, you are looking at about $700-800 in parts if DIY. Shop will take more.
I would have it scanned by a Porsche shop too, to see if it has any codes that need addressing asap too. Generally, taking to a Porsche shop is very highly recommended if getting any Porsche (IMO).
Good luck
