Just noticed the price you paid for the car. Uh, you need to send your neighbor a gift card for a nice dinner out on the town. Technically, you're supposed to buy that dinner before you ***** 'em. ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Wow, shows that a little research and knowledge can be very powerful. I'll bet he just felt like the car was too much to deal with, given the high service cost he just paid, the high quote he was given for the transmission mount and the two engine replacements that Porsche did. He was probably happy to just get rid of it. Your gain.

Great find, depending on how bad the other wheels are If they are fine, I would just sand that wheel down and re-spray the entire thing with some wurths paint and clear. The interior looks great, get the center console repainted and you will be set.
