My new baby!! 2001 Boxster S...

Well I purchased this 2001 Boxster S. Red / Tan interior. Believe it or not I purchased it from about 6 photos and a brief description. Car was in Florida - one owner. It has the triptronic trans. Higher miles (93,000), but I couldn't pass it up with that red exterior! So far I have been chasing down problems that turn out to be just learning "Porsche ease"... lol

Top 3 "issues" (some are legitimate)

1.) Car starts of the line in 2nd gear (have now learned its normal
2.) Spoiler / wing stuck halfway up... haven't solved this yet
3.) Radio wouldn't work... operator error.

Looking forward to a lot of fun with her this summer!

If anyone has advice on where to get parts both new and used online please feel free to share!

Thanks!
