Records are nice, good for a warm fuzzy feeling, and I have spent many hours flipping through the pile I have for my 83.

Other than confirming mileage they don't mean squat unless they include a warranty that transfers to the next owner.

Most cars all the recent work would be the first place I would want to check on the PPI. New tires, better carefully check the alignment and suspension for problems, etc. New or rebuilt engine is my favorite, right so you bought a new motor from Porsche, or Larry's auto wrecking? Rebuilt engine "technically" could mean ONE new part, like a spark plug or a gasket.

I hate to say it, but that first $5k service is the one you really should do yourself. All the tasks are the easiest most well documented repairs the 928 has. The next $5k service is the one the shop might be best at doing, lots of lift work and more complex trouble shooting.

High mileage or low mileage I want to see the same thing, clear evidence of a reasonable amount of driving in the last two years ideally by a demanding, lets NOTHING go Porsche driver. Think about what you would not tolerate having substandard on a daily driver, or serious weekend fun car, and if any of those or enough of them aren't working or working subpar, the owner was letting it slide.
