How bad could it be? Dirty oil? New oil filter? new sensor? Jumped timing chain? sloppy timing chain guide? New oil-water separator?
I am tempted to take a risk as it is the S model. But, how deep is the rabbit hole on small town mid-west Porsches that probably haven't been serviced correctly?
With 181k on it, there's a good chance that the variocam pads on that side are worn. That's a fairly major service. That said, it's a decent price and the car looks OK otherwise. If it still runs well, I might be willing to take the chance.
