Completely agree.
My 986 has been my DD for 10 of the last 12 years, and it has been a very reliable car (knock on wood), but things are going to break, and it probably won't be anything on the maintenance schedule that you could anticipate ahead of time (seat belt buckles, radiator fans, carbon in the throttle body, cracked coolant tank, etc). Preventative maintenance is a good idea for some things considering the age of OP's 986, but at only 45k don't waste money on things that don't need to be replaced yet. Drive it, enjoy it and have access to another car.
