I did the work

It was just a cracked coolant tank, both no big deal but time down and money for repairs... coolant tank is 250.00+ at the dealer.

The saying is something like "a cheap 911 is the most expensive car you will ever own"

Once you get the bugs sorted out, the car will be a pleasure. Until the next bug...

you will get pissed when the airbag light goes off due to bad contacts/wiring harness under the seat.
only $700 at the stealer. And PCNA new about this for years. New parts are updated with gold contacts.

or the infamous ABS/PCM light going off after driving for awhile. No practicle effect, many causes. money drainer (even my dealer says leave it alone until next full service.)

yes, one of the many "mysterious Porsche issues" out there. I had the airbag light come on after ejecting a cd when the ignition was off. Durametric cured it, thank you Duram.... mysterious, yes. fun, yes. It's a Porsche after all, yes?

Replies like these keep the moral high to keep on owning P-cars.
Probably, just need to keep expecting small bugs as a price -on top of $$- for the pleasure these machines bring to us. And then big bugs from time to time that test patience and how deep you can dig into your wallet for pleasure and adrenaline rush!!
