Question Rusty lug nuts and faded brakes

Starting my search for a '99 Boxster and it seems many have rusty lug nuts and slightly faded brake calipers. Is this common? Also, how much should a good pre-purchase inspection cost? Thanks for the info.

The rust is a common complaint as they are painted steel and Porsche was replacing them under warranty. They only cost about $5. The black caliper is also common. Jeff

A good pre-purchase inspections should run from $125-$250 depending on what is checked and the area of the country.
