First of all congratulations on being a Porsche owner. That’s a dream of many that few realize. When I first get a car like that I normally start with a clean up. Wash and clean up the inside. Then I look at the engine for leaks for signs of problems. Other than that I take it very slow. Normally I keep the ground wire of the battery loose enough to remove by hand. Then I would only turn over briefly and off again. Don’t try and start it. I do that to check for weird noises. If you try and start it has is the issue. If gas was left in it’s probably gummed up but you can try. Only put a little because you may end up draining it. If it doesn’t start you can try some starter fluid sprayed in the intake. If it pops you have a spark. Beyond that take it slow and be very carefull it takes time to work out the bugs. Also don’t drive far if it does run. It could stall. My only other advise is to join triple AAA motor club for cheap tows if you have a problem. Good luck.
