Long time lurker on the forum finally picked up my first Porsche. It is filthy from the trip out west originating in the midwest. It is an '05 Carrera S 6 speed with full leather, no sport chrono, and god awful crests in the quarter windows. Yikes, I have to figure out how I'm going to get those off of there. It was due for its 60k service, and I just went ahead and had them do the IMS and RMS, since it was just starting to weep. I was going to have them replace the clutch since I was already in that deep, but upon removal and inspection it was very fresh. I am happy with the price including the bearing replacement and additional components during the 60k. I was lucky enough to find Russ at PMCI in Corrales (Albuquerque) just a couple miles from my place and work to perform the work. Looking forward to spending some time on here, but more time in the seat.
Congratulations! Welcome to the addiction. That's a beautiful car (aren't they all). Not sure if I hate the crests... or love the look. It's different and unique.
Completely agree that is great to have a mechanic who only does the work you really need, even when you suggest it. Thanks for the compliments, I am a big fan of the car. The last fun car was an '06 Corvette Conv, but I never really loved the drive. The power was great, but the steering feel and handling were never what I was looking for. I had picked up a beat E36 235is that immediately felt "right" that I liked better than the Corvette.
Great looking car. My father-in-law has the same color S in an '06 and it really really has the "classic" 911 look. I am also a fan of the Lobsters on these cars as well. Well done!
