Looking at a 2014 6-speed Cayman Base w/ the following characteristics:

• Listed at $40k
• 100k miles
• Sport Chrono
• 406 - 19" Cayman S wheels (not sure if these are the wheels on the car and/or if they are in their stock config; they're black)
• Other options: 658, 748, 844 (replaced with an Alcantara wheel), P9A (convenience package)
• Full Ohlins coilovers
• Has had the door trim issue fixed
• As far as we know, has not had the clutch replaced but it feels good (reportedly)
• Clean DME - 0 occurrences in range 3 and up
• 1 minor incident on the carfax, no information available about it

Car has had 9 owners, and from what I can tell it's nearly that many actual owners. There is one stretch of time during which it may have been a state change noted incorrectly as an owner swap. Doesn't look like there were any dealer ownership periods being erroneously reported as a change in ownership either.

There are no service records with the car, just what's on the CarFax. Looks mostly there other than couple of years with gaps in oil changes and other service. I would say roughly 20k miles worth of unrecorded history.

I will of course do a PPI, but I'd like to avoid the potentially non-refundable deposit + cost of a PPI if this is already a no-go.

I am under the understanding that you can retrofit the Sport+ mode onto a 981 that did not originally come with the Sport Chrono package.

Is this true? When you do so, do you get the auto rev matching as well?

I have an opportunity to buy a Cayman S from someone I know that has about 100k miles on it.

The car has immaculate service records, and has been Porsche serviced since new, and was never tracked (mostly highway miles as far as I understand it). Headliner has already been fixed, not sure on the door panels. I am purchasing the car primarily to track it, but I would like to understand what I might be in for here. Primary concern I have at this point is the PDK, probably. It has 100k on it and has never been serviced. I of course would get it done right away.

Is my concern here valid? Anything else I should be concerned about?
