get a full aftermarket warranty...doesn't cost too much :)

Hi, I just got my 2004 911 Anniversary Edition 6 CD changer replaced (under extended warranty, I recommend it) but does anyone have the owner's manual for this? Thanks! teacher

Hey all! This is my first post to the forum and I'm glad to be here! I used to post on the 986forum, since I previously owned a 2001 Boxster. However, when taking that car into service, which had big problems with the entire illumination display not lighting($1300 to replace) and since I've been doing biz at Pacific Porsche, I decided to trade in and look around. Lo and behold, I found a 2004 911 Anniversary Edition, a rare breed with 23,000 miles on the odometer. Since the economy is tanking, they (and I) virtually took this car for even (at least) for $42,000, though it's worth at least $50,000 on the general market. But they knew me since we have already done years of service and maintenance (at least $6000), and they wanted to make a good offer. After all the wrangling, we went with the $42,000. Then they wanted to press me about the APR rate. Since I knew that the starting price of this new to me 2004 911 Anniversary Edition was $50,000, I made my move to offer 5.5% financing. Then the salesman (a good guy, I know him) said "Well you got good financing then, but now it's 7.5%, best offer. I said to him "Hmmm not sure, since I just paid off the other car, we need to work on this number. So I get to the financing department, and after I said "I can call the bank right now, they know I'm good for it!" When the deal was done, the finance gal went back to check the rates and I got 5.5% financing. Who says banks aren't willing to lend? :) I'm really happy with this car, all the perks, everything really. My purpose in this post is to state that 2004 911's are really reliable, according to Consumer Reports for that year. If you follow CR, you know that their Annual Auto Issue details consumer complaints about particular years, and in this year they shined. Other years are mixed, which includes issues like RMS leaks, but this car is top notch, and I would think that any post 2004 (even after redesign) will make a fine, trouble-free ride for years to come! I will let you all know if anything changes, of course! Regards, teacher
