Buy it and don't look back. I bought a '98 916 last year and I love it. Maintenance is nothing extreme. Yeah you have to check the valves more often, but other than that it's not that much worse than other bikes. Oil changes, brake pads and clutch plates.
I paid 5k for mine without all the extras. Those wheels themselves would seal the deal for me. If it comes with an extra set of factory 5 spokes, I'll gladly take them off your hands for cheap ;-)
But seriously, I'd totally do it if I were you. But bare in mind it is not a touring bike. It's fun in the twisties, but not for all day interstate riding.
