2015, CPO'ed, single previous owner with 24,500 miles. It was on the dealer lot for about 5 weeks. Are there recommendations for how to treat the engine for the first few weeks (days? miles?) given how few miles the previous owner put on the car?

I figure it's good to go but this is my first Porsche and high-performance ICE car (coming out of 9 years of Tesla ownership) and want to make sure there are no specific recommendations.

Do you have any maintenance records? As a minimum, I would suggest getting the oil changed and air filter replaced.
But, as for your initial question, all the break-in miles have already occurred, so no need to do any special/gentle driving.
Also, ensure you run quality 93 octane Tier 1 gas... coming from a Tesla, this may be a new thing

Thanks for the quick response!

All previous maintenance was done at a dealership so I assume those records exist with Porsche. Oil change/new tires when it was listed for sale, per the selling dealer.

I'm a little rusty on the pump but I'm sure it will come back to me.

Although milage is low , years add up ?

PDK fluid and filter are costly but not hard to do , then you know the status .

Engine oil and air filters as previously mentioned , some non Porsche dealers may overlook basics ?

Otherwise an awesome car to be enjoyed !

Get in car, start car, head for a long freeway on ramp, wait till a rice-rocket approaches on ramp, show rice rocket the Porsche lettering on the rear deck lid, repeat as needed.

Congratulations on getting an amazing car!

These have great build quality and there isn't a whole lot to worry about outside of preventative maintenance given the age.

The first thing I would do is contact any dealerships/shops that serviced the car (from e.g. Carfax) and ask them for a rundown of what service was previously done. That'll give you a good starting point and you can read/search for more info on suggested preventative maintenance if any hasn't been done yet.

Besides that, time to enjoy your epic ride 😎

You'll want to specifically ask if the air filter was also replaced because it requires removing the front bumper and is a major PITA.

Give it an italian tune up after sitting for so long
