Default First Time Porsche Owner!

Hello! I was lucky enough to get this lovely 2002 996 C4 Cab as my first car as a steal! I bought it with 144k miles and with no records on the car aside from the Carfax which details a clean history and having 2 previous owners. Slightly worried about the IMS bearing but having put on nearly 5k miles on the car since I started driving I believe that it is fine. I have been daily driving the car through what I can only describe as the most mild New York winter I can imagine. I posted some pics below. Let me know what you think!

Sure, I was able to get this car for 14.8k may not have been quite a steal, but considering that its been daily driven and not had any issues it feelsworth every penny!

That was a good price.
But if it feel like it was a steal, then it was!

Now get out and drive it!

Nice car, congrats! I’ve always liked a blue top on a silver car. Is the interior blue also?

Yep, Its one heck of an experience. I bought the car with bald tires too so learning when the car is about to spin out was real fun especially with PSM being turned off

Wow. I sure didn't make enough money delivering papers, when it came time to buy my first car.

Be careful. You don't want to slide off the road and damage your new car. Why was the PSM off?
