2007 Porsche Cayman — lower mileage or better documentation? — trying to narrow this down

BrakeGuy426Community StarterJul 31, 20262007 Porsche Cayman SDallas

I am comparing two older enthusiast cars. One has lower mileage but thin records; the other has more miles and years of invoices. If condition is similar, how much value do you put on documentation?

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2007 Porsche Cayman, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
