Coolant Flush?
I recently picked up a 2003 996TT with just over 19K miles. I had the brake fluid flushed, Tip fluid, and differential changed out. The coolant looks fine but it has never been changed. Should I have it changed out since the car is nearly 15 years old?

Most definitely get it changed. At the same time remove the water pump and check the impellers. They are plastic and have a tendency of breaking/chipping. If so replace the pump as well. I think the newer pumps replaced the plastic impellers with aluminum. Enjoy the car they are fun..

Sold! Car is in shop now I even bought my own Pentosin Pentofrost, which is being blown out at autozone for $5 per 1.5 liter. They are discontinuing it.
