First Time 911 Owner! 2008 Carrera from CarMax
Last night I brought home my starter Porsche, a 2008 Carrera automatic (my commuter car) from CarMax. I blog about unusual CarMax finds (see it here - https://thecarmaxunicornblog.com/201...econd-unicorn/ ) and saw this one on the web in Los Angeles. Flew out, drove it, and had it transferred to Virginia. Only 34,000 miles, ridiculously clean, and reasonable at $34,988. All about the warranty and no unexpected repair bills, so I bought that too. Had tremendous pay back when I did that for my S55. Of course, I don't trust CarMax and had the car independently inspected this morning and it failed - inner tie rods. It will be fixed for free. Not sure if that explains the groaning and bumping I hear at full wheel lock in reverse, but that will be addresses also. Will swap out the audio next week - the car was advertised as having nav and bluetooth - it has neither so they dropped the price $2,000. I have only driven the car an hour so far and absolutely love it. Again, it's my starter 911 - if I love it I'll upgrade in two years. Hate it I'll sell without losing much. Will be here from time to time asking for advice (I already have twice and you all have been wonderful). M
any thanks - Chuck.
