The canonical post-acquisition checklist for any 964 from experienced owners: motor and transmission mounts (wear with age), shift linkage bushings (wear with age), tire date codes (12-year-old tires shouldn't be driven regardless of visible condition), valve adjustment (have it done if records don't show recent work), and AC functional baseline (decent function but don't expect modern comfort). Records vary wildly across cars — the absence of paperwork is itself a useful signal.
