Might be too soon unless you have tracked the car which is what I was told by the service manager of them Porsche of Roslyn.

I mean 3-4k miles a year would be gnarly for most.
by time, my will be do 12/2022
mileage wise I do 2500-3000 miles a year, no track use

I defer this to Jimmy Repasi.

Given this is a car Ill have for 10 plus years, yes it's going to get miles...granted I put on a bunch of miles on my previous 12k mile CGT so I could get most of my initial urges out, so admittedly this is something of a special occasion car 🙈.

When your 10 year plan turns into a 2, 3 or 5 year plan and you want to sell it let me know please lol.... Also put like 10-15K on it lol Black looks sooo nice!

Was there a lot to be changed for a car with only 785 miles during the service? I expect new tires, how are the shocks? Stunning example

Car had a fresh engine out by the dealer right before the car was sold, basically full reseal, shocks had zero seepage. Did have coils and plus done and a bunch of other small stuff. It was already updated to a 05 clutch a few years back which measured a hair under 30mm, which in picking hairs I'd have preferred over 30 given my 12k mile car on original clutch still had a 30 clutch but is what it is.

The only way that happens is if someone throws a number starting with a 2 in front of it and 6 zeros after 😂. Or if a midnight blue car came along maybe 😂. So yeah, this one's staying for the long haul. I do know of a sub 5k mile black car that is currently available though (not a bargain car, mid 8 range) but they are definitely getting rarer and dearer!

Being in Canada makes car shopping a real PITA right now.... However our dollar is getting stronger so buying an American car should get easier. So your thinking 20000.00? 6 zeros right? lmao
