A PPI is absolutely necessary! You need to know what you're getting into. If there are only a couple things wrong, you can easily spend $2000 fixing them two weeks after bringing it home. Don't be that guy.

Lack of service records shouldn't be a deal breaker in itself. But it does mean that the PPI is even more important. Find the best Porsche shop in your area and have them do the PPI. It will be the best $300 that you can spend - even if you decide not to buy the car.

Low miles is a double edge sword. Yes, low mileage is good but it also means that the car sat a lot of the time and 12 years of sitting in a garage isn't necessarily a good thing.
