Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A couple days ago I bought my first Porsche a 2000 Boxster Base with tiptronic transmission. I have always been a Camaro/Mustang person. I am the third owner and it has 88k miles on it. I bought it with the intent on doing all the service myself with the help of a manual. The previous owner to excellent mechanical care of it racking up close to 7k in repairs in his 3 years of ownership including a transmission rebuild. There are quite a few cosmetic issues that I will be addressing. I have rips in the leather, worn steering wheel, Yellow headlights with baked on protective film that has probably been on for 14 years, and spider cracking on front bumper cover. For the seats im going to seal the rips with gorilla clear repair tape and place Coverking Moda Letherex Seat covers on them. I spent 3 hours yesterday scraping the protective film off the headlights and I will be restoring them with the mothers kit tomorrow along with Claying, Polishing and waxing the paint. I think it has the potential to look great after I put some TLC into it.
Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your new car! There are quite a few other members in San Diego and I am sure that they will fill you in on all the Porsche happenings in your area.
There are a lot of folks here that can help you figure out anything from an oil change to an engine rebuild and they are all willing to help.
We only have one simply rule - no pictures, then it never happened. So post up some pic's of your new car so we can see what ya got!
Welcome to the forum
The bumper is the challenge. Make sure you use the right conditioner and primer so it doesn't peel. Or if you have it done professionally don't go cheap. Cheap generally mean they skip steps and just spray and clear coat. Good luck it looks like a good project.
I think my only real challenge is going to be stripping that bumper and repainting it which is something Ive never done before but I cant see paying 750+ for something I could do for $150 in supplies. After going thru the previous owners service recipts I know I will be doing all the Maintenance myself. $300 for an oil change, $700 for spark plugs, $4,000+ to rebuild the tranny. No thanks, I did most of that stuff as a kid when my dad forced me to help him.
I looked again and it was $500 but they charged almost 4 hours labor to do it at $108 an hour. Ive Never done spark plugs on a Porsche but I don't think it should take much longer than an hour.
