I agree and always try to cover my bases. I just did a IMS solution and clutch/flywheel on a 996. New to the customer the car is in good shape but all he knows about it's history is claimed to maintained by the dealership, no bills. I told him the car doesn't seem to have issues, but without a history I recommend water pump and t-stat.
I let him make the call to do it next season and I have that in writing (email).

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
