Mt first Porsche - I got lucky!

[Dave S.]

and it's even the best color! ;-) Enjoy your new ride.!

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

What is a side repeater and what is/what does a cherished plate do?
