Thanks ca993
Ray didn't cut me much of a deal, however, he did take in my M5 in trade and the process went smoothly. This is my second Porsche purchase from Ray (first was 96 C4S) and in my opinion, it's worth paying a premium for his cars as I know how particular he is and I rather deal with someone I can trust.
That being said, it did hurt to pay as much as I did for this S, but it sure is clean and a perfect example of TTS.! The only thing the bummed me out, was, there is some oil leaking and the readiness test failed, so I'll be taking it to a Mechanic tomorrow, hopefully it's not a big deal.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Yes, I'm going to keep the TTS stock, however, with two exceptions, the first is PSS9 and lower by 3/4" the second is, it needs a new clutch, so I'm getting a second quote for GT2 Clutch with the light weight flywheel. The first quote was $4,168.00 and that includes 14 hours of labor, which seems really high to me. In fact on my last 97TT I think I paid $3,100 for the same replacement. Any thoughts?
