Selling? Buying? Advertising?

None. Just showing a nice P car in pretty good condition. If I sold it I’d might get a C8 and then probably regret it. Good views though of the turbos, waste gates, aero from underneath, struts and linkages. It’s boring I know. It doesn’t take much to keep me happy.

Not boring at all. It's always interesting to see how these things are held together.

Yep, it sure did. 4 new tires PS4s, alignment, plugs, oil and filter, flush of brake fluid, cabin air filters other stuff - $4,600. It’s a sum but they gave a a quote and held to it. Plus being CPO I wanted them to check everything. I also will get back an oil sample, plugs (marked) and all filters so I can look at them all and take pictures.

This is the same dealer that fixed my squeaky roof when closed. Now it’s silent. I k is it sounds silly but they proved to me that they can do good work.

One more interesting thing. They gave me a Macan loaner. Not tremendously impressed. Wife says the seats are hard (18 way) and I find that the exterior body panels are not flush to each other. So while being critical of the C8 (another car I love to dislike), I can’t say this Macan is much better. I think that cars coming from Zuffenhausen must have that special build quality. Who knows?

Not at all. But then I am not a "key turner" and it is always a pleasure to work on clean cars and motorcycles.

If it makes you feel better that’s not all that bad including the tires. Thanks for sharing the video. Did they pull your bumper to change the plugs / engine filter?

Gotta admit I had a “pucker” moment when I saw mine on a lift and disassembled to that extent! 😂

I don’t know actually. I should have asked for a pic. Out of sight out of mind I guess.
