Quite an interesting point raised by NapaCSS. I have the same exact curiosity.

@thegroupbofficial Correct me if I’m wrong but I was told these cars were manufactured later in the 987 production that they don’t have the IMS issue that plagued earlier 987 variants. I own #243 triple black which has almost 60k on the clock. I had it inspected by an authorized LN Engineering shop after I bought it.
@thegroupbofficial Appreciate all the info. How’s the tread looking on the tires? Any idea when they were last changed? Also wondering about the clutch - any noticeable slippage? Thanks again.
Hello everyone,
Complete DME readout was uploaded in the gallery. (4 pictures)
We were able to verify where the car had been serviced and Vertex Automotive, the shop which performed all the work, was kind enough to share with us the service history. There are 12 pages of such records added to the gallery.
neither us or Vertex Automotive has records of a Bore scope analysis. Previous owner confirms it was never needed or never recommended by the service shop.
We are currently uploading a cold start and driving video as well.
Should you have any other questions, please do no hesitate to ask or reach out.
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.
Also curious if there's any information about the gap in service between 2018 and 2023 - Carfax shows regular yearly maintenance up 'til that point.
Same questions as previous commenters re: maintenance and cold start vids but also wondering how many keys included and whether you're aware of this car having seen any track time. Thanks.
I left out on the maintenance portion of my previous question the thermostat, water pump, pulleys, belt and the AOS? Any records. Thanks.
Beautiful car. Do you know if a bore scope has been performed? Any actual maintenance as far as spark plugs, coils, clutch work, rotors, pads, any deferred upcoming mechanical items? Also any chance you can do a cold start and a driving video. Assuming you have a clean tittle in hand? Thank you very much.
Thanks for posting those videos. Could you also include a cold start, and if possible a driving video. Thank you!
@garyjlittle Additional video content has been added to the listing. The videos are located directly above the comment section. Thank you for asking!

Were you able to upload any video? If it is already uploaded it is not obvious (to me anyway) where it is.
@TransaxleJoe Please note that the CARFAX is located in the photo gallery.
Would you possibly post the Carfax report?
Thank you.
@TransaxleJoe The sports exhaust that the car is equipped with is the factory valved exhaust. So, to operate it, you engage sports button in the PCM and the valves open.
@jclanin We will be doing a walk around video of the car later today, hoping to be able to have it posted by the end of day. This car was always garage kept at the previous owners home under A/C. Headliner is in perfect condition.
@JSinCity hello sir, we do not have any records for having work done to the IMS. We assume it is still original.
Any service records at all?
Is the sports exhaust option a valved system with a “on -off” button to select different volume levels?
Would love to see walk around and driving videos if possible. Is the headliner in good condition? It appears to be from the photos. Nice looking and well driven Croc!
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Do we have any records on IMS work?
My signal green CSS came down the production line 2 cars in front of this one (#614).
