Agreed with this! Night and day difference, incredible how much more confidence I have on the road now.

My 2011 Turbo S with only 13,000 miles didn't have any receipts so I just did the full 60,000 mile service including all of the other intervals between 0 and 60k miles and/or 6 years.

It was close to $3000 in total but along with my Fidelity Platinum warranty, I am good to go for some time now. That's pretty cheap peace of mind.
Fidelity is the best aftermarket warranty for these cars? I had some mediocre ones that were overpriced for other German Marques.

Oh and I forgot to mention I bought from said Porsche expert friend so I got a car I know can trust...I don’t have all maintenance records but it’s pretty buttoned up.
