I'll have lots of questions in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to answer a few eventually too.

You lucky dog! I called the Porsche dealer and thats a $3000 job! I wish my dealer would just replace it if i broke it. I still have a hole in my rear window that looks like someone through a bowling ball through it.

Yeah with your numbers, it seems that they quoted me a pretty high price, which is weird, they get all the business in Los Angeles, they are the reason that 1 outta 30 cars in Torrance/PV is a boxster or some type of porsche. greed huh.

I bet that "dealership" he got the car from has no clue how much this is going to cost 'em! $3,000! They are going to choke! If they pay for a new top, then that tells me that they overcharged PurpleDog for the car. Something is not right here.

The person we bought the car from went to high school with my fiancé, and is the brother of her best friend. He got us a great deal on the car at 29K. The dealership where he works sells mostly German cars, with a few Mini Coopers and Jaguars. He has lots of connections, and I know he is getting a deal on the top. Plus, he is on the lookout for another car for us, so there is money to be made there.

Just for reference I had a dealer verbally quote me around the $2500 mark for replacing the OEM top.
