Plus, the car passed 100+ point inspection, the dealership had just done the yearly service, put on four new tires, and the service records showed that the car had had its 15k, 30k, and 45k services, as well as all of its yearly services.

I asked the dealership to eat part of the cost of the replacement interior trim pieces, but they weren't biting as there were two other people in line behind me wanting to buy the car if I chose not to.

Oh, well. Live and learn I guess. I don't really care as I love driving the car.

I think you made all the right decisions. $19k + (serv done, new tires etc). I wouldn't recommend any Porsche without warranty! Interior trims are not good deal., but there's no such a thing, PERFECT. I'd say you got 'near' perfect deal. Congrats!
