The other thing about Porsche is that they will go a long way with you if you bought your car at that dealer and had it serviced at that dealer per the schedule. Same is true for Acura. Once you become the second owner of a car something liked warped rotors is a very iffy waranty item for any make of car let alone Porsche.

But wouldn't the same thing happen if you had been driving hard and it suddenly started to rain? In any event, that's one more reason to wash the car when it is cool. (Of course, Porsches are always cool.)
I think you make a good point about the dealer taking better care of the folks who buy and service the car at the dealer. There's an initial addition to the dealer's bottom line from the purchase of the car, plus annual tribute in the form of payments to the service department. I bought my car used, but the previous owner provided me all of his service records. From the profit the dealer received from the $185 oil changes and $265 battery I think they might be willing to cut an original owner/regular customer a little more slack.
