Congrats and welcome to 986 ownership

Most used 986's come with little or no service history. You will learn what your car needs within the next thousand miles. My experience since owning two Boxster's, is that the average cost within the first 2 months of ownership is 2 to 3 K. Problems are typically passed on between owners. My suggestion is to drive your car often in order to sort out the pings and tangs that you never hear during test drives. Eventually a laundry list of items, hopefully small, will begin to appear. If you approach those repairs with realistic expectations, you'll enjoy your car immensely!
