are you being serious? hehehe the more insight I have into 996s the more I want to give up on upgrading to one in a few years. I understand some things can cost more on a 996 than a Boxster, but a grand to replace a buckle, that's just money wasting..

That is for two buckles, labor and related software.

Still, not cheap.
