Bought a year ago and though I've loved it, I can't risk losing my job by getting a large speeding ticket and I don't have the time to track it.
The good: Never seen a drop of oil leak. Front tires 9k miles, Rear tires 8k, both replaced in the last year. Just had a lookover in October from DART Auto in Denver where they replaced 2x radiators along with an oil change ($3000). In June I had a brand new key made at the dealership in Austin, TX, along with some electrical work to fix some gremlins keeping the doors from locking and passenger window from opening (all fixed now) - $2000. Last week I had a new secondary air pump installed (hoses still look solid), and a new battery put in - $800. Other details: touchscreen audio with added bluetooth connectivity (tune2air), embossed crests in the heated seats, leather in good condition with a little wear on the outside of the bolsters. Built in radar detector (very discreet - looks like part of the car). Non-smoker. All stock - never modified to my knowledge.
The not so good: In the spring I got caught in a Texas hail storm with the car only partially protected by a carport. The hail got the left side of the car pretty well and also the windshield. Bodywork completed by the Porsche of San Antonio recommended shop. Front bumper lip is cracked in two spots. They are available for $75 on Amazon, but I haven't bothered with it since one bad parking job means I'd be replacing it again. Minor scratches on the upper driver's left portion of the boot lid where I cleaned off bird poop and stupidly forgot that birds also eat rocks. Slight hydraulic leak from wing - no functional issues but it will be a fix down the road eventually. Wheels were painted black by the previous owner so I had them refinished in the original gray. Rear rotors will need to be done next pad swap. Fronts are new as of last January.
The roof was PDRd and pretty much every other damaged panel was replaced - Lfender, Ldoor, Lquarter, boot lid.
Here are a few current pictures of the left side (repaired). Also two pictures from the morning after the hail storm.
Below is an OLD picture from the morning after the storm. Bodywork looks great now - see above pictures.

Reason: Post was confusing people
Did insurance company total the car? The hail damage on the rear fenders was repaired or replaced? Does it have an Oregon title or Texas?
Thanks
The car was never totaled. Repair bill was about 13k after the hail storm, paid by my USAA insurance. The left rear quarter panel was replaced, not repaired. Texas title.
