In the end, I think the company was fair with me as they paid me more than I paid for the car. It sucks that I only had it for 9 months. Hopefully, I'll find a replacement soon. Anyone selling a Lapis Blue 03~04 S?
I cracked one of those Carrera wheels 2 years ago. The best I could find for a replacement was $500 for a used wheel from Wheel Enhancement and they told me up front that the wheel needed to be refinished. So $620 to replace that one wheel.
Those wheels are valuable. Even the replicas are going for double what they used to cost.

If I lived in SoCal, I'd put the $20K towards a Boxster Spyder.
Best used Porsche for the money if you need mid-engine.
Granted.. nearly double the price...but hey you only live once.


^ for reference, 991 Carrera S (395BHP/326 lb-ft) went 1:39... and that was by Rand Pobst no less.
