Ditto what the other said, but with any purchase, everything is negotiable. Porsche says 2 years for brake fluid, so based on manufacture date, the car may or may not be "due" yet. Oil is probably not required, but in both cases I'd say "I'll buy the car, but give me a voucher for brake fluid and oil / filter change upon completion of the break-in period". Yes, you could make them change it now, but if the fluid doesn't need it for a couple months, break the car in, have them swap out all fluids, and then be in great shape for the next 2 years.
