Suggestion
I would simply add the following: In addition to "checking" the fluids, I would change out the oil and brake fluids unless you know for sure when it was done last.
Leading evidence: 'Check " the fluids, i would' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

I've just purchased my first Porsche, to arrive in the next week or so. I purchased it out of South Carolina and did my best to have it fully checked out before purchase. My question to everyone is once she arrives what should checked to assure that it's ready to roll as my "summer driver"?
It's a 99 Coupe with 65k on it. From my set of prelimary checks I've found it to be pretty solid, yet since I'm a Porsche newbie I'd love some insight on what this model is likely to have problems with. I'll post a few pics on this thread soon.
Thanks all!

1. Oil leak around bottom of engine
2. Check brake pads for wear
3. Check all fluids (engine, coolant, tranny, brake). Top off any fluids. Engine oil change every 15k or 2 yrs. Coolant is "lifetime", brake fluid is every 2 yrs.
4. Check suspension for bents, looseness
5. Check exhaust and heat shields for looseness
6. Check tire for nails and inflate air
7. Detail interior/exterior
8. Monitor garage floor for fluid drips for 2 weeks
If you've had PPI or have service records, some of the items don't apply. Enjoy and congrats!!
Beautiful looking car....and welcome to the board.
But......what in God's name is that little tiny spoiler looking thing affixed to the rear retracting wing?
BullBear: I hope so, as mentioned, I did my research in trying to find a "nice" car within' my reach, yet it's hard to shake the "I just bought a car I've never seen in person" stigma...
sirebral - Nice P-car!! Looks good, not sure about the sudo-spoiler though. I would recommend the following MODS ASAP!
Cosmetic MODS:
Bumper Plugs (if your state does not require a front license plate)
Painted Rear Bumperettes (you can get both of these at
www.bumperplugs.com
)
Clear Front Side Markers
Performance MOD:
B&M or OEM (both are identical except color - B&M is cheaper) Short Shifter Kit. You will LOVE it!
Welcome to the P-car Phunny Pharm!
Nice looking car and the previous owners garage looked pretty sweet. I bet he took good care of that car. Enjoy it and post some more pics when you get it home.
Thanks all for the warm welcome, glad to see I've found a friendly bunch. As fas as mods go... if it's like any of my other cars it will be full of them, and of course I'll continue to post the progress...

Great advice from all. I would simply add the following: In addition to "checking" the fluids, I would change out the oil and brake fluids unless you know for sure when it was done last. The car looks great. Good luck with it.
