Depends what it needs. If its due belts etc id have the service done before as they deteriorate. If its just oil, i wouldn't worry about it so much.
Just my thoughts on it.

Belt changed in 18, intermediate service with brake fluid change due this year.

if it was me I'd use a local specialist for an oil and filter change for peace of mind. Maybe also check when last brake fluid was done as that absorbs water. I'd then get the Porsche stamp in the book bang on the 2 year anniversary

No local specialists around my area, Brake fluid was last changed in 2020 service.

Trying to veer away from having to drive to Porsche in the winter, so may do the service slightly early.

As I said probably over thinking it

Interesting it had an engine replacement in 2018 at 60,000 miles.

Just seeing that now. Interesting...

Looks like a great car for ‘driver’ rather than ‘collector’. Good!

bore score maybe? I did read once that, albeit extremely rare, some .2's did suffer the same fate.

7k miles a year, at least its been bloody driven. Looks tidy too

Edit: it was all going so well till i found the rear wiper and had to run away to be a little sick.

If it sells for £30 grand then CC get £1500. Not bad considering they do F all.

Did the boot lid survive on the written of meteor car? - could be a good donor panel to get rid of the problem of the wiper on the peridot car.

Wipers not a problem for me. I'd spec it every time!!

In fact it always really entertains me how people who don't have certain things on their own cars try to justify why they don't need them

£30k? gosh I was thinking more like £40k.
I can’t imagine the reserve price being £30k but time will tell!

Also interesting note on the 2020 service invoice that customer complaining engine very underpowered when running hot. Was that resolved ?

[J-P]

Worth keeping an eye on - at £30k, that's a bargain!

It's definitely unique with those highish miles yet a new engine.
