Besides
That's clear.

No matter what condition the car is in or the dealer history or the great PPI, your purchase budget should include $5000 in the bank for the first year.

These cars are very sensitive to tire pressure and alignment.

Don't get wound too tightly about everything you read on the internet. Drive your car and enjoy it.

Smile when you drive your Porsche and enjoy all that it has to offer.

DIY's will save you money and will make you learn about your car.
That's clear.
