Congrats and welcome! Even though this is a 986 forum, anyone is welcome, we just aren't going to be able to give more specific advice. Find a good independent mechanic that specializes in Porsche. That will help with maintenance costs. First learn how to do your own fluid changes, that will help a lot. I can't imagine it is a whole lot different to change the oil on a 981 compared to a 986. And yes, one of the "rules" on this forum is you need to post pictures or it didn't happen
