In my experience, Water Pump, Thermostat & Belts would probably be done at about 60--70K miles - Idelr Pulleys should also be done at that point becuase most need changing around 85K-90K miles.
Same holds true with engine mounts at about 60-70K miles

*Also good idea to change the front Differential Fluid and Transmission Fluid at about 70-80K miles

Nice to have the Sports Seats and Atlas Grey looks great and not a common color.
Look forward to the Bore Scope results

This is an actually stupid question I'm sure -- but in a C2 is there differential fluid to change? 997.1 C2?

Nope - Front differential's are on C4 & C4S all wheel drive models

I just paid $43k for C2 with about 55k miles. Really good condition, PPI went well, kind of lacking on service history but well kept, lots of good options.

Nothings a good buy until you get a Bore Scope Inspection.

Completely agree with that statement- definitely get it scoped.

Few other items to make sure that are functioning well at that 50-70k mileage range would be the AOS, clutch and flywheel on the 6speed manual cars.
Injectors are the other debatable item as related to bore scoring and poor spray patterns after age and mileage.
Changed them on my 996.1, curious if there’s been many who have replaced them on the 997.1 cars?

Hope adding these few other points can help with your purchase. Best of luck!!

Been scoped by two shops, both said it looks great. Pics from the first one corroborate
