BTW - here's my short list of "new to me car" things I'd consider, were I you:
- Change oil/filter
- Adjust valves
- New rubber brake hoses
- Bleed brake system (goes without saying if you replace the hoses)
- New spark plugs
- New air filter
- Change tranny fluid.
Some maybes, depending on condition:
- New cap & rotor
- New plug wires
I did all of these things (and more) when I got my car 2 years ago. All of these things are good routine maintenence, and its always good to know exaclty when they were done last. Since its cold as hell outside, I don't think there's a huge rush to get all this done ASAP, but is a good idea before the driving season.
FWIW, if you're new to Porsche DIY and interested in this stuff, you're welcome to come over to my place in a month or so when it warms up and I'm doing most of this stuff to my Carrera in preperation for the DE in March.
