I recently moved to New Hampshire and also own a 987 Cayman. I haven’t found a great shop yet, as my car has not needed anything except changing oil, but a few points:

1)Zaks Auto in Hudson was recommended by some, I went there for an oil change and they tried selling me a lot of things my car didn’t need, overpriced by 200-300%;

2)It’s a Cayman. It’s a fun car, and you want to take care of it, but don’t worry about the resale value. If you are not buying the newest one, you will likely pay $25,000-$45,000 and will sell it 30% cheaper in 5 years. So really you will pay $7,000-10,000 in depreciation for 5 years of fun. Overpriced service that could potentially make the resale value higher will cost just as much. Don’t use dealerships, find some good honest mechanic (and please tell me about him if you do!!)

Good luck!

What you said was that you hated capitalism.

But there is no better system. No one knows of one yet.

And even in America, capitalism is by no means “unchecked”. There are so many restrictions and regulations. Try living in the EU, try living in Singapore, China, and see how it compares.

America is one of least corrupt countries in the world, and although it is not perfect, it’s ridiculous to say you hate capitalism or complain about someone buying investment properties, thinking that somehow is an evil act.

I grew up in Ukraine. My parents and grandparents lived in the Soviet Union.

It’s beyond embarrassing to see how Americans romanticize and praise the regimes that killed dozens of millions of their own citizens and caused so much misery.

Capitalism is the best way of running the society humans have ever found. Try living in a communist country and tell us how it feels. Or at least read about that.

Okay, that’s a good thing to know.

I never before lived in a place where tint was illegal. And I wasn’t even one who put the tint on - the previous owner did. So, I guess I will have to remove it. It just seems like an unnecessary expense.

What does passing car safety inspection have to do with investment properties? First of all, I don’t own any yet. But secondly, what’s wrong with that? Do you dislike capitalism? Do you dislike the ability to invest?

Same here. Moved to NH and got one in mid September, still has not arrived. In the previous state it used to take 5-6 days!
