Hello Bart,
With that much mileage and not knowing the history or maintenance record, I would be very careful. Definitely a PPI by a reputable shop familiar with the 986 is a must.

That asking price is a bit on the high side considering the mileage alone. You can always use that as a bargaining tool if you really like the car. Then be prepared to put aside a fund for needed repairs.
Take your time and get familiar with the Car by looking at several.

Good Luck

Pics make it look very nice...looks like someone took care of her. Price and km's though are a bit high. Are you going to winter drive it? If not, you will also be putting her into storage immediately, can't imagine that would be fun. Might be best to wait till spring? Prices don't seem to change up north here whether winter or summer selling.
In terms of what to watch/listen for - squeaks, rattles, clucks, loose belts...all that good stuff. I would imagine the suspension will be the biggest issue with those K's and age.

And hey - if you do get her or another one, make sure you join the PCA. They do a few great fun runs up and through the Muskokas in the spring and fall. I did my first one this year and it was a blast.
