Congrats. Porsche Oakville is a well respected dealership here. A transport company can deal with all the paperwork and with the FX rate in your favour I am sure it made lots of sense. I think that 30% grey market stuff is nonsense
I also wouldn't bother with changing the speedo. As others have mentioned it can be changed in the centre console . Mine is in MPH and all I ever look at it the centre digital readout. Its far more accurate as well
And yes, life is short. Enjoy!! Too bad you couldn't fly up and drive back. Would have been a great way to enjoy the car!

Maybe we can trade gauge faces? 
Congrats! I'd love to know what products they used on it. The oil pan looks brand new.

>> dbv1: A trade sounds better every minute I think about it. Let's wait till Jan-Feb when I get the car and become more familiar. Can you wait that long? My email is: must58gt at gmail dot com.
>> vern1: Thanks for the reassurance about Porsche Oakville. Everyone I've met so far has been exceptional to work with on this sight unseen scenario.
Good progress on the transport details. Thinking now about delivering the car to somewhere in the east coast or thereabouts, driving with my daughter (the only one in my family who knows how to drive a stick
through the Blue Ridge Parkway and some of the other scenic areas of the country.
Some parts of that drive won't be so scenic but doesn't that sound better than having the car just simply delivered to your driveway?

Thanks. Manual Targa's are hard to find so I had to open the aperture a bit to find one without waiting till Christmas 2018. At these prices I wasn't willing to make any concession on my list of must haves. It should arrive within 2-3 weeks ... can't wait.

you don't need to change the speedo and I suggest not doing it so when you sell there are less questions. you should drive her back yourself. Yes Oakville is a great dealership, I know them well.
