New owner of 2001 Boxster S

[TypeA]

Different does not mean harder. The same principles of automotive repair apply and Porsche did not reinvent anything when they built your car. Granted Ive done some limited work on my car (Im still a fairly new owner) but in my limited experience the design of a Porsche is actually fascinating, you can tell that much forethought went into their cars and its refreshing to work on such a well thought-out car. There is a wealth of information and a solid community for these cars here on this forum and elsewhere on the net. Not sure how all the Porsche Clubs work but from what Ive read my local club membership gets you access to technicians, advice and access to technical repair manuals. Of course the sources Kevin H recommended are a great starting point, read up on what these things take and know that with time and patience you can do your own work for a fraction of what it will run you to have someone else do it.
