Check out R&H Motor Car Group
http://www.motorcargroup.com/
Their inventory is awesome. I have been there and their cars are first class. They specialize in low mileage cars.

You might also check with your local independent Porsche mechanic shops to see if there are any well maintained customer cars that might be available.
