The previous owner had it serviced at Porsche Centre Melbourne. Have you got any suggestions? I believe servicing it there gives you free oil top-ups between services and roadside assistance in case of breakdown. Is that true?

Thanks to you all!
Sea Eagle, yes it is Australian delivered and came with all receipts and books. I even have the PPI that the previous owner had done before he purchased it. The body is not perfect, little stone chips and scuffs etc, as you would expect from a 12 year old car and I will have the interior repainted as it is showing its age a little bit. No tears or cracks, just scuff marks. The driver side footwell carpet is also looking a bit shabby. Does anyone know where I can get the original colour carpet made up in Melbourne?
Probably the most unsightly bit is the "sharkfins" that are quite sandblasted and the rubber seals have shrunk. It looks quite shabby and is definitely on the list to have fixed. Then off course there are the lid struts front and rear that needs replacing, and on and on and on....
Cheers!

The struts are well worth getting done, they don't cost much and are a pain (literally) when they go.
I'm afraid I don't know where to source carpet from, but if you find out, please let me know!
There is at least one other C4 Anniversary edition in Melbourne. I'm afraid I can't remember the owner's name.
