OEM is infamous around these parts
New to the forum and new to Porsche

I've always loved German cars and the wife and I finally picked up a 2002 911 Turbo. We have been looking for either a 911 or Cayman for some time now and finally came across this.
We love the thing...it's the fastest car either of us have ever owned, and it handles like a dream. We bought it from a local dealer here in Boise and they were really good to work with. After we signed I went to drive it home and rolled down the windows, it started raining on the way home so I rolled up the window and when it stopped raining I went to lower it and guess what broke? The window regulator. I called the dealer up and talked to them and they're going to pay 100% of parts and labor even though it doesn't have any warranty...so the wife and I found that really nice.
Over all we're enjoying the hell out of it and hope to for some time.

It has a 6 speed in it with the Bose stereo and had 69,xxx miles on it when we bought it, just shy of 70k now. I got it from a Porsche dealer and it had a PPI done to it. They put new rotors/pads/fluid, etc.

Pics after we washed it for the first time:

Congrats and welcome! Hopefully you'll put many more miles on it. I enjoy every chance I get starting up mine, going for a ride and listening to that exhaust rumble.

Sweet! I looked at that car several times when I was at the dealer getting parts! Looks like a good one! What part of Boise you in? There are a couple more of us on here from the 208!
