I finally have have obtained the dream of owning my first Porsche! I have learned lots of information from all you guys and felt very informed when buying my Porsche.
I have been keeping a lookout for Porsches on all possible classified sites for over a year knowing this year 2012, I would purchase my Porsche near my birthday in June, but this deal was too good to pass up.
Anyways saw an ad on EBAY, reserve not met and I emailed what he would take, with my luck it was a local car as well.
it was 30 minutes away. The car had only 25900 miles on it and owned by 2 owners, 1st owner had it for 6000 miles. 2nd owner was his neighbor and friend and they lived in a multimillion dollar home. Car was babied and taken care of, all records. I was going to do a DME scan just to make sure, but dealer said they cant do it anymore for liability reasons and their new machine cant do it. huh? I smell BS! Anyways another dealer says something about liability as well but can do it if your the owner. I will still do it just for peace of mind.
Anyways I just picked it up with my family! My 3 kids in my car ages 11,7,6 and mommy behind us following. What a joy to ride home with my kids! I just washed the car, had dinner and I'm staying up tonight to wax my new baby! I took some pictures to share. Hopefully I can figure how to attach picture, maybe later I want to wax and bond with my baby! I know the rule... no picture then it didn't happen.
My dream car is here! Porsche... There is no substitute!

 

awesome...not sure it worth doing the DME since you have the car already...but by the sounds of it you made a very good purchase....

all the best and enjoy

 

wow that is a fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing your joy and excitement in this! How amazing to drive home with your kids and everything...that is so cool. Way to go and congrats

 

We need pics!!

My dealer was having a hard time doing a DME scan that they could print because of the 991 software. They did finally figure it out but it took them awhile.

I don't know why they would tell you it's a liability issue. Other than that is a canned response for "we don't want to".

 

Congrats! Good to see another Pinoy pcar owner!

 

I've got an 01 E55 as my daily what do you have back there?

 

Thanks for warm welcomes! @ Boosted Josh, My new to me C2S in now sitting in garage with my W210 1996 E320 my daily driver with 192K miles. I got the smoked taillights and DEPO lights on it. Now to add LED front and taillights to the Porsche!

Congratulations on your new car. She looks awesome. Enjoy!

 

Congrats on the new ride! Let the Mods begin.

 

Congrats! I was born in the Philippines! Let the mods begin! I transformed my car in 5 months!

 

Nice color and wide body! Beautiful!

 

Nice. Depo Front and Rear LED's are worthwhile IMO. I also did a Gundo hack on my exhaust, which makes it sound a lot better than you would think....
