Congrats! Hopefully I'll be joining everyone in about a year. It's nice to have an idea of how much dealers can be talked down. At least it's something to aim for.

Jon - don't forget to pack some CDs, a V1, a DME relay, spare remote battery, extra set of belts and the Porsche tool needed to change the belts....you never know. you should be able to get some kind of parts discount from the dealer since you are buying the car from him.

Better get 18" wheels and lower that puppy. Looks like the Paris-Dakaar rally car.
