Cayman service history.

[Beertillidie]

Hello, I currently looking at a 2012 2.9 cayman which has a full service history from independents, the car is due major service in 6 months. I've always done my own servicing and basic maintenance. Anything more taxing went to my neighbour who is a retired mechanic. My question is how much would it affect future value by doing the work between myself and neighbour. Thanks for any advice

Provided you keep receipts for the parts, should be no major issue.

Already 14 years old, seeing the owner changes the oil and filters every 4-5k miles would be far better for me than seeing it go into Porsche every 2 years and 15k miles.

I would buy a service book and fill it out and put all the receipts into a folder.

I should add. The main reason to keep Porsche Service History is to be able to keep their excellent warranty. But that ends at 15 years old anyway.

Yes. At this age, history and condition is more important than a "correctly" stamped book. That wont cover thr things which are now considered consumable: suspension, coolant pipes, exhaust etc.

I do all my own servicing (2008 Cayman S) but then its a keeper, paid for in cash, And I dont care...!
