Other half just pulled the trigger on a white 11' 987.2 Boxster S.

Has all important options (to her) including PDK, 19inch turbo II's, sports chrono, PCM satnav, Bluetooth, sports heated seats and Bose.

Anything to look out for with a car of this age?

Many thanks

Thanks fellas, it has just had a major service which included plugs and all oils as well as the brake fluid.

not sure about PDK fluid service - although it is on 50k miles (car was a compromise on mileage for perfect spec/condition) but was much better condition than most with circa 20k miles from new - just seems like a lot of miles on a car, but then again I'm a wuss and have only ever bought from <1 yo.

Plugs were done in service

Body water drains were clear.

Brakes and pads were all just done as part of major service (hence why we compromised as nothing due for 2 years)

Tires - fronts are new, rears have 5+mm.

The other half (or you) needs to keep an eye on vital fluid levels and check under the car for any signs of fluid leaks - this will be my job laugh

Whenever the car is in for service (or if you service the car) a thorough inspection needs to be done looking for any signs of trouble. The water pump, CV boots, radiators/radiator hoses, really any and all gaskets, seals, o-rings, hydraulic lines, fittings, need to be checked for any signs of problems. - Will be serviced by specialist it was purchased from, based on test drive/inspection the suspension seemed as taught as low mile cars.
