Is there anything I should be aware of with this model 986. It has very low mileage and one owner since new. It seems about right but I have no idea if there are any nasties waiting to bite me. I was thinking of getting an OPC to do the full inspection or is this likely to be really genuine feedback since I would not be buying from them? Is IMS a real issue and what about bore scoring (a la 987.1)?

Anyone with one of these that might be able to give hints as to what I should look for?

Good luck finding a low mileage 2.7 at that price nowadays.
I am actually looking at a 3.2S, definitely very few around with low mileage, hence my original queries. Just wanted to know if there were any major things that are likely to go pop?

Depends on budget - have you tried Flat 6 (I have no connection with this company)?
I have sent them a message with various queries. Thanks for the suggestion.
