I tend to do my own maintenance short of major component repairs or transmission servicing so I can't help with specific pricing of the standard maintenance items.
I also don't have a maintenance guide for that car, but I would guess an 80k service might include oil change, brake flush, and spark plug replacement. If the serpentine belt, cabin and engine air filters haven't been replaced then add that.
It might be getting close to a PDK service as well. Brakes could be worn. Tires could be worn, etc.
You might consider talking to a local Porsche service shop for their recommendations and pricing, but I would guess if the service items noted above are needed you would see quotes from $1,500 to $2,000 at a dealer and 2/3 of that at an Indy. Add $1,000 or so for brakes and $1,000+ for tires if needed.
If the car is up to date on it's service and wear items (tires, brakes, etc.), then $25-27K isn't out of line IMO. If it needs work, I would negotiate accordingly.

Car has had all scheduled maintenance at Porsche dealers but does need upcoming 80k mile service. All 4 tires replaced 4 months ago. You are correct on items included in 80k mile service as per what was posted by Eddie above (thank you). I will call the dealer tomorrow to get an estimate and use that as a negotiating point. If I were to buy the car, I'd take it to my indie mechanic as I don't wrench.
Where are you in WA? Spokane? I have a place on Mason Lake, about 15 miles for The Ridge Motorsports Park. This car, or my '88, could find their way up there for some track time.

When you're looking at a used Porsche and request a PPI, any shop or DIYer with factory or Durametric software can check the computer for actual mileage, over-rev history, etc.

Will do Eddie. I am in need of another daily driver and couldn't think of a new car for similar (or even $10k more) money that I'd rather own. I think I can turn it into a fun dual-purpose car for the very occasional track day that I attend. I'm confident it will come together as the seller is a physician friend and has had all maintenance done on schedule and always at Porsche dealers.
I still think its hard to peg the value but, with only sixteen 987.2 Cayman S cars for sale nationally (at least on cars.com), I think I will be getting a fair deal. Its a bonus that the car is only a little more than an hour from me.

I'd look into refreshing the suspension (new bushings and dampers) to restore the new car feel and handling.
I just did that on my Audi S5 that just turned 100K miles (75K put on by me)'and I'm a happy camper.

Probably in the cards as I would like to turn this car into an occasional DE duty car. Researching what things I want to do and what order to do them in but not in a rush. Safety first.

Hi Tony - yes, I bought the car a little over 3 weeks ago. Car does not look, feel, sound, or drive like it has almost 80k miles... more like maybe 20k. Very clean and tight and I love the full leather interior.
The previous owner had a lien on the car so I am still working on getting it registered and titled in my name. I think I will have that taken care of in the next week or so but, for that reason, I haven't driven it all that much. Once I get that done, will take that car in for its 80k mile service and she should be all up to date.
Some things in my life have changed in the past couple months so not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I thought I needed another car but turns out I really don't. But I agree with you, there just aren't many 987.2 cars out there and the low mile cars still have pretty big price tags. For the money, I'd rather be driving this car.

Nice color combo, it does look clean for 80k miles. I've been keeping an eye on the '09-'11 Cayman S market for a while now as I've been heading towards getting one. Although yours has double the mileage I've been looking for, I'd also be interested if you do decide not to keep it. Good luck either way.
