my local Porsche specialist mechanic is very knowledgeable and thorough,
he went through the car with a very fine toothed comb,
pointed out everything, including a microscopic crack in the side repeater!
so I know every little problem that I can slowly fix. The only biggy is the brake pipes.
He got all the factory options off Porsche using my VIN, so I have a full print out.
Why on earth would anyone buy a crappy Ford / Renault etc hatchback when they can have a Boxster!
The perceived value of my car is about 4x what it really cost me
and it has a 'cherished' plate so it hides the age of the car to non-experts
