If it's a 991/992 or 718 GTS then I'd consider flying out and driving it back but I'd agree with you that for a cheaper model it's probably not worth it unless it's spec'd right and as dukes says, the seller is a good one.

Even if it's a summer only car, the roads are like someone just poured concrete blindly over our FSRs. The ruts and potholes are actually fucking unfathomable.
I couldn't imagine trying to drive a nice car there.

I would spring for a 987 if your budget can afford it. They are easily more pleasant on the eyes and a lot more comfortable than a 986. A 986 is spartan, and a lot of people need to remember the 986 saved Porsche from bankruptcy. They had to cut a lot of corners to make it work.
Depending on where you look, some late model 986.2, especially the S, will go for around $22K. They have crept up in prices other the year and have come to match the 987.
If you are okay to take on the risks of a 987, it's a better buy but to each their own. I would not hesitate to steer anyone toward that direction. Lots of smiles per mile and value overall.

Korva is legit. Hard to get into also. Owner was smart to take it there.
Wouldn't be bothered if it inspected well and I was looking for a keeper. Always going to be tougher to sell on though, even at a discount.

Fuuuuuuck that QP5 is lovely... if I was staying in Van that would be a must get but I'd expect a better price, $30k is more reasonable given the market for them but this one does have exceptionally low mileage I suppose. Needs to be a GTS so justify $40k I think.
