There is….

….an aftermarket, waterproof box that you can install around the immobilizer under the driver’s seat.

Well…

….you bought what was a $50,000 German sports car.

You should spend $20 and buy an owner’s manual for that $50,000 thing in your driveway.

If you bought a used private jet, would you fly it...

“Classic” status

Porsche has declared the 986 a “Porsche Classic” and is supporting it inside their “Classic” division.

Black Knight….

Like they said….

….A high quality battery maintenance charger is cheap and solves these problems. These cars do not like low voltage.
