I mean, it is almost 20 years old car. And it is a car. ICE that I have been driving for years. I spent about 30 years under cars of different ages. Recently I shifted into EVs, just for the fun of them.
I hope I can handle it. The only thing that would be hidden is some internal engine damage that would be revealed after dropping the oil pan or actually full inspection of the engine. Yet, some major flaws can be heard the moment you start it and drive it hard.
If you have any 986 specific suggestions, please let me know.

A proper test with a vacuum gauge will tell you a lot about the condition of the engine.
Google automotive vacuum testing. Look for info that not only describes the gauge readings but also the action of the gauge needle.

With the Durametric things like fuel trims, O2 sensor reading, Camshaft deviation. Between the two you should get a good feel for the condition o the engine.
