Enjoy and have fun. I purchased an 04S last March with 29,7K miles. No service history but seemed in good shape took it in for the 30k service and did a few extras like the belt, plugs etc just so I would have a good baseline. Then a few months later got two codes on the tiptronic transmission and had the fluid changed. No problems since. Worried about the IMS initially but the cam deviations are rock solid so not that concerned any longer. I would recommend a durametric tool so you can pull data from the car or use it to monitor conditions and have fun.

Thanks! I am pondering getting a tool, that standalone one that gets rave reviews and I forget the name
