Greetings Rennlist! :-) After adoring Porsches from afar for most of my life I can finally say I own one. I just picked up a CPO 40th Anniversary Edition with ~13k miles and I am loving it! She's #395 and in pristine condition. I'm in the Dallas area, hope to meet some of y'all around town. :-) I'll get some better pics soon...this is a phone picture taken in the delivery bay at the dealership. Sean

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.

Beautiful car....welcome !!
Sean, welcome aboard. Congratulations on your first Porsche.....you picked a great example with low miles and apparently in pristine condition. You are off to a great start.
Welcome! nice find.
Congrats! I bought my first from Park Place too. I remember a Sax Maniac on the Frisco message board (I think). The same? Michael.
Beautiful looking car -- very nice find.

LOL, gotcha. I remember a couple of FOL discussions. 300ZX to M3.....then apparently a Porsche, right? I think we live in the same subdivision. Are you going to Cars & Coffee in Plano tomorrow morning?
Quotes source post: 8682037
Good memory, but there was a 350z between the 300 and M3. ;-) If you go down Fisher on a daily basis, then you probably see my black 5-series out in front. Classic C&C is too packed. RUF cars and bikes is better... Michael.
Congrats. Looks beautiful!
Beautiful car. Welcome!
Nice Ride! Welcome to Rennlist.

Looks great, and good choice on getting the CPO.
Very sharp,which dealership?
Wow, very nice find! Enjoy the miles and smiles!
Nice choice. What seats does your car have and how do you like them?
Beautiful! Did your car come with the matching luggage?

Ah, another Collin county resident? :-) Looks like Park Place Porsche in Dallas. Michael.
Very nice! Welcome to Rennlist!
Very nice. I just did a Porsche dealer pre owned search and there are a few listed with similar miles - 11k to 17k miles and are priced from $49 - $51k. Wow have these asking prices gone up. They must know about the IMS guardian hitting the market .
Knfeparty - the car has the comfort seats option. I really like them, but I don't have another Porsche experience to compare them to. My wife says they are much more comfortable than she was expecting. Spender - unfortunately no, the luggage was not included with the car. I assume the original owner kept it. I seem to have everything else though, right down to the original sticker. Chaos - Michael is correct, I purchased at Park Place in Dallas. Interestingly enough they just took in another 40AE in trade with low miles...if anyone is looking. :-) All - thanks for the welcome, so far Rennlist seems to be an awesome little community!
Nice looking first Porsche. You picked a great example with all the right options. Welcome to Rennlist Sean.
Congrats
Welcome! Nice find. Now go out and enjoy her!
Another beauty! Enjoy in good health!
