Looks a tidy car, but with supposed mileage at less than 1,500 pa, I would proceed with caution.
The vehicle at 17 years old is no longer eligible for Porsche Extended Warranty, so you will be needing 3rd party cover.
As you've no previous experience with the marque, it would be a sound investment to commission a professional report. Look out for obvious signs of wear & tear, repaired accident damage, dodgy noises, blue exhaust smoke etc. and make enquiries regarding its history including from the Porsche service centre.
The model is generally reliable and trouble-free, but when replacement parts are need they tend to be pricey! ☹️

Regards,

Clive
 
Much appreciated Clive
I’ve rang the Porsche service centres waiting for feedback
Regarding the 3rd party warranty any recommendations please for being a Porsche please

The interior on the car is as new no creases in the car seats etc

Cheers

Chris

Sorry can't make a recommendation - no personal experience. If you search online many warranties only go to 12 years. I found one offering 16 years but still no good for you. Suggest you shop around. Of course, you may discover the cost is prohibitive and end up self-insuring.
Will your seller provide you with a backed-up warranty?

Regards,

Clive
