I started out looking around at used 2006/2007 boxsters, but I ended up buying a new 2008 from the dealer when they made me an offer I couldn't refuse (they REALLY wanted to move it). It is guards red, black top, and optioned nicely with xenons, black heated sport seats, bose sound, dimming mirror, and a bunch of cosmetic options like seat crests, painted console & gauges, chrome exhaust etc. It had 112 miles on it at delivery. I absolutely love this car. Anyway, my question... Since this car was on the showroom floor for longer than usual, is there any maintenance that I should consider now? The dealer said to wait to at least 10K miles for oil change. Any thoughts on this?
Also, is the build date somewhere on the car, or do I need to ask the dealer to look it up?
