After 10 months of ownership...SHOULD I EXCHANGE IT?

[Mark_T]

When I first got my Boxster 4+ years ago, I hadn't worked on cars for decades. But, I started buying books and tools and spent dozens of hours reading tons of tech articles. I have so far been able to do all of my own repair and maintenance and have saved thousands of dollars from lining the dealer's pockets. I'd have a go at learning to fix it yourself if I were you. You might even have fun.

If you can get into something 5 or more years newer than it may not need much for a while. I'm on the fence about doing just that except I won't settle for anything but an '09 or newer ( new motor). I'm definitely sick of fixing so I've got to go newer but depreciation is for the rich...Then there's the fact that the longer you own one the more new parts you've put into it...I love my car and was planning on keeping it a long time so I've used OEM parts exclusively.....
have I helped you?
Can you afford a Spyder????

Until now, I had never done any work on a car. But after finding great info in this forum I have managed to desnorkle the car, clean the MAF, clean the engine, recharge the A/C, change all filters and even clean the radiators all by myself. It made me feel pretty accomplished but my house does not have a garage and its been really hot out there to do any work on it. So it really takes from the fun of working in the car
