After 80K miles I would expect a minimum of one clutch and it wouldn't be unusual for it to have had 2. They are torque monsters and hard on clutches. If someone nursed 80K out of their 996 Turbo clutch, I would expect the car was very conservatively driven.

They have a 'tattletaile' provision tracking level 1 and level 2 over-revs. That's an important part of any PPI. But there's a guy over on Rennlist who had (as of last Fall) 310K miles on his 996 Turbo without splitting the case. They are tough beasts. It's just that a clutch, brakes, etc. are all pricey to do.
