Default Input Needed from Porschephiles

At the moment, I'm looking very seriously at a 1993 911 RS America with 69,000 miles. From the pictures, it's cherry. I'm working at looking at it early next week, it's not local, but isn't far from me.

This will be my first Porsche. What are the warnings, caveats and things to look for when I look at the car? It's going in for a pre-purchase inspection with my mechanic, who does both BMW and Porsche, so I'm not AS worried about that part. What I like is input on the ownership aspect of an older 964 model year 911. I know they're known for oil leaks, they need valve adjustments....what are other things for me to keep in mind?

People have suggested a 993 instead, but I like the uniqueness of an RSA model, even though it's not as hardcore as the euro RS...it's still a "special" version of the 911. I also kind of just dig the older model a little more...

All comments, bad and good welcomed...thanks in advance!
