Looking at a 07 987, it had opc service history on delivery and two years later at 18k, then nothing until a non Porsche garage normal service at 34k in May 2014. (It should be serviced at the earlier of 20k or 2 years.) So it's missing services in 09 and 11, with 14 being a year late. (Although within 20k)
I'm trying to track previous owners to understand the gap, but I think it's unlikely to be resolved. I think it'll need a £2k service to bring it back to where it should be. (Major, brake fluid, drive belt, front brakes.)
Car is very well spec'd, in a great colour combo and low miles at under 40k with a main dealer (not Porsche).
Run a mile or how much would you want to discount for the service gap?

Found out it was owned by a 50 year old lady in "no service" era. Got her address but can't obtain a phone no, either didn't bother with servicing or didn't pass on the details. Other than writing to her difficult see the gap being explained.

Dealer "has tried" to get info, but has drawn a blank. 5 year gap is too much for me, he can keep it and I'll keep looking.

It was worth waiting, I ran to another dealer and bought a 06 2.7 987 with full history, black with black leather and great spec with 32k.
Love it!
