The dealer claimed to have done an inspection, I noticed this before we bought it and the idiot salesman said it was normal. I just hope it hasn't been this way for to long causing premature wear.

Your dealership sounds either crooked or incompetent. When buying a car like this you have to take it to an independent source for a PPI that doesn't have a conflict of interest. Some places obviously don't tell you the whole story so they can save a sale and sell some cars. I hope everything works out for you on this one. Keep us posted.

I would talk to the Sales Manager and let them know that a Salesman claimed that he car had an inspection,even though it looks as if it did not.

Thanks for the tips, I have already done everything I can about this and they know they messed up, and the cost on this repair will make them think twice. It was incompetence because I doubt they had had many porsches before.

They finally got the part and the porsche dealer is going to put on. Then the CEL came on and it was a vacuum leak. Good thing I got an extended warranty it has already paid for itself.

For those of you that car I finally got the car back after two weeks, and the plate and CEL got fixed. Very happy with the car mechanically, very diappoined cosmetically. The e-brake book has the leather cut up and the top and body have some new scratches. This isn't the last the dealer willl hear about this.
