I've done a lot of research already, and plan on reading some more. Unfortunately I can't return the car. I even tried to get the dealer to at least fix the tires but no hope.

I plan to get the tires plugged tomorrow and do the oil change myself Friday. I bought everything I needed I'm not gonna mess with radio right now and save money for the IMS and clutch parts and tools. I should have enough money in a about 1 -2 months, hoping the oil change bought me some time. I also have that time to do more research and read. Hell I'll even get a 2nd part time job in the evenings if needed. I really want this car!

Well good luck to you Mike. We don't talk much about it - but don't neglect youtube. It's amazing how many Porsche upgrade and repair videos are on there with complete step-by-step instructions.
