I thought it was a pre 2005 there is a bit of difference in the air scoops on the side and the big difference which you cant really see well in the picture is the roll bars. On yours they sit right over the seat. I am 6 foot tall and they didnt really give my head any clearance when I tried to sit in one. In 2005 they moved them behind the seat a bit more and raised them a bit taller. The other big difference is in 2005 they put HID lights in them. That really makes a difference the lights move up and down to keep level and the high intensity beam really lights up the road. Sometimes I drive ours to work and then drive home late at night when there is no traffic on the curvy road it really makes for a fun drive.
I just let the dealer change my oil they dont really charge that much for the labor. The first time I let them do an oil change it was 115.00 dollars. I kind of gulped and told myself that i knew what I was getting into when I bought it. I looked at the ticket and noticed it showed 10 quarts of oil. I asked the parts guy if they had made a mistake when they entered in the oil. He had the service manager come talk with me and the first thing the service manager asked me was "is this your first porsche" When I told him yes he went and got the shop manual for it and showed me that it actually did take 10 quarts. I was amazed.
By the way ours is exactly the same color as yours.
