Nice scooter. That looks like it came from my company. Don't get hurt on it .

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good resolution for you. Thanks for keeping us updated!

I'd take the tool chest in the corner with all the tools in it And maybe the tranny depending on what it is...LSD/6SPD etc...

Good Luck working this out!

This story is worse than the "redneck paintjob"!

I hate to get into this thing, but I just can't help but laugh.

I think you've already received a shop full of used parts and none of them solved the problem yet.

possibly, what if Dave did settle for parts from AMW and then they arrived broken, damaged or not as described...

Dave:
There is a 1989 944S2 for sale at Prestige Toyota in Ramsey. 37,000 miles. Cracked windshield, leaky power steering res., and it probably needs a new clutch. Faded guards red paint. White interior in decent shape.

They are asking $18,500 for it!

I figure you've already spent too much $$ on your n/a, so why not over-pay for a 944S2, and start the whole process all over again!

Seriously, I do hope that this issue can be resolved so that both sides (Dave & AMW) will be satisfied with the results.

-Z-man.

PS: I had to ask the dealer if the price was a mis-print. He confidently (read: cocky attitude) stated that he will have no problems selling that car for that money. I suppose there's a sucker born every minute! (You can pick up a decent 968 coupe for that kinda cash!)

You could pick up a good Boxster for that!

When did you take it for a test drive? I drove by today and saw someone looking at it.

Pretty amazing how a 944S2 pops up for sale, and in no time, three Rennlisters know about it!
