Thanks Randall - about what I expected. So far so good on everything else (windows, tank, etc.) - if I could get the wheels off, I can obtain new wheel locks w/ a key. I'm fabricating a tool so I should have the wheels off shortly. Sadly, the independent dealer in Jacksonville, FL wouldn't help and their warranty is worthless re seals/leaks; Porsche Leasing, Ltd (original owner) was rude and of absolutely no help. Like I said, I'm a car guy - been around cars my whole life but this is my first experience w/ exotic-upscale imports - I've never encountered such poor customer service and rudeness - I would have thought these folks would have been more helpful. Anyway, I'm thankful for those of you who are willing to help this dumb "newbie." With your help, I'll get through it and end up w/ a good car. BTW, I did get a very reasonable deal on a car that's very well equipped which eases the pain a bit. Hopefully, someone can "go to school" on my mistakes and save themselves some heartache. I'll keep ya posted...
