Good to see you're getting some relatively trouble free motoring from the bork bus. Other than fluids, are there any more preventaive maintenance jobs that need doing?
I don't think so! The metal bits all look good. Probably could use some new dampers at some point, but once this is done, I'm hoping it's just oil and filters for a while. Did the front diff today, Got the oil drained, but couldn't get the filter housing off with out the proper tool to grasp the plastic 74mm 14 sided thing - £10 on Amazon, hopefully arrives tomorrow.Was hoping to make it to the Sunday service today, but forgot it was the wife's birthday...oops.
If any sadists are still interested in running one of these @ £2 a litre, this seems very good value with propshaft replaced, roof bars and in unicorn "V8S with Air & PDDC" spec: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202207077...

It's cheap, but it's not a brilliant spec aside from air. No heated seats, no memory seats, no multifunction wheel, aftermarket cruise control. I'd probably give it a miss unless I was desperate.C70R said:

As for the tyres, I have the same Michelin Latitude Sport 3 on ours. They're very good. Much better than the previous garbage Michelin Latitude Sport, which barely lasted 8000miles. But they were Porsche "N" rated, so had to have them fitted to maintain warranty. Binned them as soon as the warranty expired. Another little money-making wheeze by Porsche....
But yes, it is quite low specced but it's comparatively cheap and has PDDC

Full Service History would be a big bonus if the seller has owned it for a decade and kept all the receipts. A bunch of stamps would be less reassuring, unless from a known specialist.Either way, you'd need large underpants to take one on at 159k!
(Panoramic sunroof, heated seats, multifunction wheel, no cruise - maddening!)
