Odometer Reading on my Brand New 987

[David]

It was on the lot. And I suppose that they did have to drive it somewhere to get the registration and state inspection. I just thought it wasn't so honest of them to have me sign something that said 20 miles and then, 5 minutes later, present me with a car that had over 50 miles on it. Life is short, however, and I'm not really upset about it. What the heck, as long as they kept it under 4100 RPM they got me that much closer to the end of the break-in period!

Only problem is if those miles came from test drives, but even so, a few rips up to 7000 RPM during the first few miles isn't going to kill the car or screw up the break-in period--I wouldn't worry about it at all. Enjoy the car! What all did you get?

Thanks. The car is the basic Boxster and has heated seats, stereo upgrade, the larger wheels, auto climate control. Black matallic paint. I paid about $5k off the MSRP. My first Porsche (and my first any type of sports car) and I am totally happy to be driving it. Of course, rain is in the forecast for the foreseeable future here in the NY area . . . .

Normal. Not to worry!
