You ended up buying it, Congrats!!!! Looks like a very nice car Scott. I love the color combo!!!! You'll never see another on like that. Never bought anything from Champion, how are they to deal with? Enjoy those beautiful roads in that car. How far are you from Tail of the Dragon?
Thanks. We're in Central Virginia, pretty far from ToD -- but close to Skyline Drive. Some great country roads around here.
Champion has been good so far, but I am still waiting for a promised 2nd key and CD changer cartridge -- so we'll see how they follow through "after the transaction." Still have ebay feedback to leave, so I'll wait till everything is here.
I did notice the loud squealing out of the engine bay and am assuming it's the power steering reservoir -- have an appt next week to get it fixed (the car is still under original warranty through January and CPO warranty for a couple years).
Unfortunately our local dealer de-Porscheized by Porsche so the closest Porsche dealer to us is >1 hour away in Richmond, so service is a bit of a chore.

Beautiful car...i also like the leather pieces around the side air vents and windshield defrost trim. those are expensive options...you did good. i visited champion a couple of months ago when i was on the market to purchase my tt and this car was not available at that time....too bad for me. enjoy in good health.

If I was a huge Star Wars nut I'd definitely have to think of a Stormtrooper type of license plate!
