Default Help with PPI

Having been on the "air" side for many years (993), I am looking at a 2007 Porsche (997) S and need to know what to look for in getting a PPI done. It will be performed by a local Porsche dealer WI. Low mileage (6300) with the followiing equipment:
Meteor Grey with black interior
6 speed
Heated seats
Self dimming mirrors
Sport chrono package plus
Navigation
Bose hingh end sound
Sport exhaust
Xenon headlights
Power seat package
Champion RG5 monolite 18" wheels
EMS intake by Evolution

I hear a lot of talk about IMS, LN, etc, should I be concerned?
Any comments will be appreciated.

Before paying for a PPI, ask for the current DME scan (should be given to you for free) and review the 6 over-rev ranges. If they look good (none in ranges 3-6) proceed with the PPI process. Your build looks very nice. You'll love the PSE.

Since the OEM wheels were 19 inch, make sure the offsets, tires sizes, etc. on the aftermarket wheels are correct.

As a 2007, unlikely it is covered by a factory warranty. No IMS issues with 2007s. Low miles and in pristine condition seems like a great combination. Go with a PPI and enjoy. And try to get an extended warranty or if a Porsche dealership, a CPO. Consider having a discussion with your local Porsche dealership and see if they would buy the car and certify it for you (assuming that the car is not from their store). It will cost about $2500.
