my parents have an 2011base v6 with now about 70k miles on it that my mom drives. she loves it, my pops hates it. wants to do brakes on it and it requires a special torx type bit for the job that to this point has dissuaded him. 4-5 other nagging issues that drive him crazy such as the AC now works only in manual mode (climate zones are out), constantly getting a low coolant error message in error as the reservoir is topped off, wheel finish is chipping off and a few other things that escape me at this point.

not many indy Porsche shops will touch them so the stealership is the only option for such repairs and they are expensive as im sure you all are aware. pops wants to get rid of it and get her something new (not another pepper wagon) with a warrantee and absent of the nagging issues they've been experiencing the last couple years. im not aware of what years to look out for, but pops (and I) believe it will start to cost stupid money to keep it right moving forward.

like I said, my mom loves it, so pops is in an unenviable position and would not buy another one.
