Usually I'm not a huge fan of the Turbo wheels, but they look fantastic on Midnight Blue.

Nice options and looks like you have thoroughly done your homework. Now pick that thing up and drive it like you stole it.

Wouter,

That is a very sharp looking car! I certainly hope the PPI and DME check out well. Glad to see you back in a Porsche. As you know.... there is no substitute!

Love the color and the turbo wheels. Looks to me like you got a great price. If you get the aftermarket warrantee let us know what you got and what it cost.

Just for clarification....

warranty - a written guarantee given to the purchaser of an item, usually specifying that the manufacturer will make any repairs or replace defective parts free of charge for a stated period of time.

warrantee - the person to whom a warranty is made

Well, spoke with shop that did the PPI and it looks like we have an issue:

- front left strud is broken
- oil leak in the rear that he suspects may be either an IMS or RMS

Will be talking to the dealer today, but I highly doubt they will address/repair this, given the price we negotiated.

Question... With this dealership being a Premier dealer, can they put this car back on the lot knowing that it has these issues and not have to disclose this to any future customers?

It's a good thing you had the PPI done.

When you say the front left strut is broken, do you mean it is leaking or is it physically damaged? If damaged that is a sign that the car has been through more than is being disclosed.

Good luck and let us know the outcome.
