Is this dealer located in parsippany nj? I just picked up cayenne GTS from them and they were great to deal with. I'm also planing on having my 997 serviced with them

It looks like it just took them a little while to figure out the right thing to do, but it helps to explain it to them too. You're going to love the TT, and look at the bright side, the weather isn't conducive to much seat time now anyway......

First of all, congrats on a beautiful car! i was looking at the same car from paul miller, but it had a little too much mileage for me, im actually looking for a lower mile car since im planning on keeping the car forever! Second, im glad paul miller came through in the end to cover the cost of a clutch replacement... no body wants to fork out a hefty bill of a clutch replacement after 30 miles of driving their new car! enjoy her in good health!

Thanks, guys. Psup4s, yes, that's the dealer. 550bryan, so very true. Wish I was on the west coast this time of year. kchu221, there was a low mileage 2009 carrera white 997TT in the PCA classifieds last month. I believe it had around 8500 miles and was in Princeton, NJ.

My car is heading back to Paul Miller for the clutch repair on Tuesday via flat bed. Should I be concerned about it taking a 4 hour ride on a flat bed? I'd prefer Intercity, which is how I shipped it up to MA.

Good to hear dealer is doing the right thing. 930tb, where are you located in MA. Just moved here last month from NY. Live in Hingham. My 09 turbo cab is here in storage. Looking forward to getting it back on the road in a few months. Way too much salt on the roads up here!

It's good to read that the dealership came through for you. Sometimes it just feels like the dealerships are just waiting to see who blinks first, which seems like a poor practice on Porsche halo street car.

I agree on the dealer, but I think they honestly missed the clutch issue. Either way, the car is supposedly heading back to Paul Miller tomorrow. Hopefully, they repair the car as needed, including the flywheel, if it needs to be replaced. As you guys probably know, they can't be resurfaced, they have to be replaced. Here are a couple more pics of the car at my local dealer.

930TB who was your salesman? it's great that the dealer is picking up the bill on the clutch and hopefully will do the job properly without cutting any corners. I bought a GTS from them but somehow they misplaced my original window sticker and I'm still waiting to hear back from my salesman to get a replacement

I'll get the wheel part numbers when the car comes back from NJ. Maybe someone else can chime in on the model.

Congrats on the 09. They are very rare especially with the Aerokit. I have a black/black with aerokit. Paul Miller is pretty good, I got a 997.2 carrera S from them. Good luck with the car.

Congrats on your new Turbo. You will enjoy it with a new clutch and I'm glad the dealer is treating you fairly. The Turbo's are fantastic machines.

So you got an even better deal now, considering you have a brand new clutch! Congrats!

Great guys at Paul Miller. I bought mine from them. I complained the brake fluid was never replaced on a cpo car (after purchasing). The service manager (Ed) covered the expense. All positive experience from dealership.

I saw your car on their website... I had to control myself and not drive out and look at it since I knew I might end up buying it. Congrats!
