So I'm waiting for my car (sender unit replacement) and hear the girl training her sister on the invoicing software: 'Enter in clutch replacement @ 7 hours labor ($105 per), release bearing and pressure plate...' I couldn't hear the parts costs as I was lost after I heard 7 hours!! Then there is the 'while we're doing the clutch...'
Don't mind my Tip at all!

clutch for the DIY'r should be well under $500 - just have one on hand for after the "training session" 
03' Turbo would be a great car, but its a lot of car and will require some training no matter the tranny. I think some people buy a car without understanding the real power and get in trouble or find they dont really like or need all that. Then they get out having had a less than great experience.... if it was a persons first sports car, I would advise a trainer car (like a C2 or C4) then step up. If they are really sold on the Turbo then I would advise some days out at the track with an instructor to help them understand what it is they have bought...
