It is unfortunate they are unwilling to help you out with a general printout of work done as it is now your car.

It is true that they cannot look up information from other dealerships but it is completely up to the dealership you are dealing with if they want to release records on the car you own or not. Using the Carfax report on my Boxster, I found the Cincinnati dealership that performed some of the service on it and gave them a call prior to purchasing. The head mechanic was very helpful and ran through all the issues they worked on with my car and gave me his general opinion of the car based on their records.

If your PPI came back fairly clean, do the last recommended maintenance tasks Porsche recommends (or check to see if you can find out if they were done) and then enjoy the car.
