Garage
My experience. Purchased a 2004 Anniversary Edition with 31K July, 2015. I did my own PPI as I had researched for a year prior to purchase and have the mechanical ability. I knew the risk of a garage queen with partial records. Drove the car home (from Buffalo 5 hours) and parked it. Called a Porsche Indy and made my appointment. 6 week later I had a new LN Pro IMSB, AOS, Clutch, chain tensioners, serpentine belt, spin on filter, filter magnets and magnetic plug. The hardest thing to do was to look at the car for that 6 weeks while I waited for my appointment. However. it gave me time to explore the car and detail it to nearly Concurs condition. Sorry back to the topic.

What you choose to do is your decision. I, much like 10/10ths, wanted to preserve the car and drive it worry free. The car remains a garage queen (now 36500 miles) and is an excellent example of the best of the 986's. Hell, 20 years from now it may even be a classic, but who cares.
