Today I had the chance to test drive the car. That checklist was very useful!. The car looks and works awesome, tho I noticed the following:
1.- After cold starting the car, (what I think is) the steering pump makes a cracking/clicking noise when the driver maneuvers to leave the parking spot. It seems to go away once the engine has warmed up. What could be the cause? should I worry about this?
2.- The soft top won't fold completely down, it gets stuck once it's almost down and the display console marks up an "error with the soft top controller"
Carmax offered to get this fixed before we close the deal so here I am again, waiting for the car to be ready.
Any thoughts on this?
Regards,
Javier.

I can't help you With the soft top issue as I have CGTS.
Good luck and again I really recommend buying a Porsche from an authorized dealer and getting the car CPO - but I guess I'm overly cautious, I want to enjoy my Porsche and not worry about expensive repairs for awhile.
