they replaced the strut mounts and sway bar links, that's nice.

"Fluids checked" after 3 years is a mistake, they all should be replaced after 3 years.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After missing out on the first 99 996 I was looking at, I came across another (~86k km/55k miles on the odometer) with the following service history.
I'm not a car or Porsche expert by any means, so I'm wondering if the following seems to suggest any concerning issues I should be aware of, or if it's all standard stuff as the car ages.
Also, what kind of service/part replacements should I expect to do in the foreseeable future, that haven't been done already?
Of course, I won't skimp out of a PPI if I decide to move forward.
I'm in Canada and the car is a US import, so the odometer readings start with miles and end in km.
Thanks in advance!

well there is a 14 year gap there, and nothing before the 2022 service is really major or stands out
when they said "drain plug gasket replaced" are they talking about a crush washer? that's pretty funny to me.
never heard of a transmission filter. is that a tiptronic thing?
they replaced the strut mounts and sway bar links, that's nice.
"Fluids checked" after 3 years is a mistake, they all should be replaced after 3 years. at least brake fluid and oil. I'd do coolant too.
Overall pretty weak service history but it wouldn't stop me if the PPI was good and I liked the car.
Thanks for that!
Thanks! Planning to meet sometime over the next week to have a general inspection/walkaround myself, and if that looks good proceed with a PPI.
Not entirely sold on the space grey interior of this one, and my preference would've been black.. but figured there's no way to know unless I see it in person.
On a side note, does this look like possible rust bubbles to the left of the build sticker?
All previous front trunks I've seen have been pretty pristine underneath, but this one I'd have to have a closer look around.
Agree with pulpo on 14 year?! gap. Not all service is the same. With this little service data, I would be a little more hopeful if the most recent services were done at a Porsche dealer or a known Porsche indy. If the services were never done with a Porsche dealer or Porsche indy, 100% have to do a detailed PPI. I looked for 2 years and mine was 100% worth the wait. Send pictures when you do the inspection.
