New to Porsche! Hi Everyone!

[Drips]

Hi everyone. I just put a deposit on a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (05). I have a porsche dealer inspecting the vehicle on monday morning before finalizing the sale.

I will want to think about purchasing a warranty and wanted to ask you all what the best options are going to be? The truck has 65k on the odometer.

I have never had this nice of a car and never had a warranty before, so I want insure I get the best coverage I can.

Also some random questions:

1) Suggestions for getting Ipod hooked into the stereo.

2) Service intervals? What is recommended? How does the on board computer work for this...if I miss a maintenance interval? My uncle is a mechanic and can do the basics for me, but will that mean the on board computer will read that I missed the service? (he doesnt have a porsche computer tool to reset the car in any way).

3) Would a warranty be transferable?

4) Would a warranty cover regular service?

5) Where can I get the tech manuals?

Hi everyone! I too have just purchased my 1st porsche. I've wanted one since I was 12 years old and the 959 was released. Who knew that my 1st would be a truck! For my Wife!! To carry our 1st Child!!!

Life is crazy. I can't wait to start adding some personal touches. 1st step is Sirius and an ipod interface.
