Ghost: at first I didn't quite understand your post. You live in NY at present... but at some point you had an issue with Porsche of Omaha? Just want to clarify.

@Homeboy...

I am mechanically inclined... pulled an engine out of an old Triumph, dropped a different engine in, etc. Car actually ran. Well, actually. Have tinkered with stuff for decades. But the IMS repair (I have not looked at instructions) seems, well, huge. I guess I need to look at the kit and instructions, if they're on the web. Thanks.

If you did that with a Triumph then you can do an IMS...I did it and never wrenched a car until Dec 2011.

My local dealer salesman ignored multiple requests to find the car I wanted so I went national myself. I purchased from Park Place in Texas, they were very good to me. Omaha did what a boat dealer once did to me, went for the guy with the larger offer after they had accepted mine. There is very little honor in a lot of these places, they know the likelihood of a guy in NY buying from them again is nil, so in picking someone to %&*, they decided to go for the out of state customer. I don't know exactly what happened to their deal, but like Keysguy, they came back tail in between legs asking to re- consummate the deal. It never occured to me to waste their time in punishment as keys did, however, I did enjoy telling them I bought another one and they were SOL. The Pcar dealer in Omaha should send their staff to Omaha steaks, they could learn a lot about how to treat customers and provide an outstanding purchasing experience.
