Look in the phonebook for an independent Porsche/ european car shop to save money. It will be 1/2 the cost!!!

Haha, thanks. I am currently in Fargo, ND. There is one option here, unfortunately. Maybe I should wait until I move to Tampa, FL, near the end of the month. This is great advice, though. Thank you.

Thank you!

That should be a good start.

That looks like a lot of stuff, haha. It just makes me wonder which of those things are absolutely necessary and which are just things that are just put on the list for diehard fanatics, you know? I'm surprised those lists just don't say: "Buy a brand new car."

That is probably good advice. No need to take any unnecessary risks. SIGHHHHHH, I will probably end up doing "the works" haha.

I trust you had a thorough PPI done on it before handing over the cash...

I wouldn't say your thoughts here were particularly helpful to me, but I do appreciate you taking the time to reply.
