Good advice. I'm likely going to pass. I think I want a 986 S with solid service history more than this one. I found one in Florida that could fit the bill if I can get the dealer down (hate buying from dealer but they sell tons of Porsches).

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.
