The owner may have left the top open for days and it soaked it real good. It is possible it was taken to a dealer who gave a pretty high estimate to replace everything that could go wrong. Insurance companies know that water salvage often end up going back in for on going problems and can be traced back to the original water issue...I donno maybe in that case the insurance company continues to pay, just guess though.

I don't know a lot about a 2010 but I was reading about the immobilizer system in a 986 in my Bentley manual they can't be just flipped out for a new one without a dealer doing a fair amount of work.

Maybe they felt safer in the end just getting out of the loop on the troubles a water damaged car can cause.

I'm certainly not an expert at this, maybe other could chime in. Would you be keeping the car for a long time so you don't have to worry about reselling ?
