Drive it and if questions come up, ask.
Suggest avoiding the e10 fuel if you can.
Check marine fuel docks is one option, it will make a difference.
They really do drive nice, enjoy.

Seems agressive and expensive

1. I would get it inspected and see what service attention it needs.
2. Check the tires and make sure they are not the originals because they are probably rock hard by now
3. Once that stuff is good enjoy the amazing sounds V10!

Congrats

Purchase two Porsche hats grab the wife go for a long drive to the best place in town.

Look at the engine bay from the bottom by removing the belly see if there are any leaks if it's clean go drive.

It's a Porsche!

Enjoy!

Some things not yet mentioned
1 check the drop links , if it says "+10" on them they are the high ground clearance option . Contact Porsche IMMEDIATELY and change them to the regular european spec ones . The longer ones change the centre of gravity and the car drives horribly .
2 check the shock absorbers very carefully . They can leak a little and this is extremely difficult to spot .
3 make sure the geometry is accurate , very important for track driving and handling in general
4 change the tyres to supersports or cups if on the original items or any other tyre

That should be inough for you to be getting on with at the moment .

One final thing if i were you id
Get her on a drift day so you can get used to the cars limits and see what she does in extremis .
