What svc history says about ownership "curve"

Most people here probably don't care, but another really great reason to never buy a brand new car is they all, and I mean all of them, are still leaching dangerous chemicals, sometimes for a couple of years. Sometimes they smell noxious. Somehow, Porsche managed to make the new car smell in my first Cayenne reminiscent of cookies. I'm sure both were equally poisonous. Fact is even an older car will give you one hell of a dose of benzene after several hours in the hot sun of you don't bother to ventilate when you get in. But the worst is that oh so sweet new car smell.

The things you learn being married to a nutritionist. Sorry for going immediately off topic. Having someone else deal with recalls is nice, too.

 

Its good news for guys like me, who swear by buying only used vehicles. I bought my daily driver ten years old, with a sufficient service history that detailed all the little things that had to be done to the car. Since I've owned it, it hasn't needed anything aside from its scheduled oil changes. I believe its a commonality that most vehicles share, not just Ferraris.

 

I've had my 05 since new and had very few problems although the manifolds were replaced at 3 years/12K miles. I didn't bother getting an extended warranty and have had no problems in the last 2+ years. BTW, my dealer is 2.5 hours away.
