I emailed the Sales Manager with my counter offer but he is not back until tomorrow...I am brining the car back to them late morning so I assume we will be talking then...wish me luck and again thanks for everyone's help and suggestions!

So I took it out for about an hour or so today...Yep I want it!!! LOL

Anyway when I got home I wiped it off a bit (yeah I know I don't own it yet but I cannot drive a dirty Turbo) and took a few shots at the house...what do you think? I think I am in LOVE

Is this normal???

Before I jump (make this purchase) I have a question...when we went on our test drive I noticed when I was getting on it or even crusing at 80mph on the interstate that the oil pressure gauge was pegged at 5...maybe 4.5 at 80mph with the cruise on??? Anyway it kind of freaked me out as my C4S doesn't do that so we went back and went right to the Service Director at Porsche and he just smiled and said that is totally "normal"...but I looked it up in the manual anyway and here is what it says...so am I too assume that at 5000rpm or higher it should be anywhere between 3.5 and 5???

Note: when sitting at idle it drops down to 1.5 - 2

No issues with that. It is normal. The grade of oil (e.g. 0W/40 or 5W/30, etc.) can make a slight difference, but it usually floats a little at idle and when you accelerate it will stay pegged.

Once warmed up, you may want to check the oil level with ths stalk and center gauge...just to be sure it is full or close. Has to warm up first before it will register.

Good luck.

Well? Did the dealer come down in price? Did you decide to buy the car?

I need closure!

I dropped the car back off this morning and the Sales Manager was in their Monday sales meeting...I am waiting to hear about my counter offer but as of noon...nothing yet. If I do not hear anything by the time I get off work, I plan to stop by and see what's up...

Keep hitting refresh and still no update......

I feel like a junkie looking for a fix. Will he get the turbo? Will the dealership stand firm and he walks away from it to find a different one?

Dun dun DUNNNNNN......

Dude you are killing me...LMAO...well are you ready??? Are you sure??? I don't know...are you really sure you want to know??? LOL

Well the car is MINE!!! We struck a deal and they put my name on the "SOLD" sign...

The weather was really bad here tonight and they need to prep the car (major detail and do some touch up paint and a clear bra on the front bumper)...also the deal involved me putting the stock wheels back on my C4S so a guy from Porsche followed me home tonight and picked up my stock wheels and tomorrow we will make a plan when to bring my C4S in and pick up the Turbo. Please someone pinch me...I own a sweeeeeeeeeet 2009 TURBO!!!
