Tell the dealer to buy you the new AC compressor and you will take car of the rest... the harness can be patched back up with some solder and heat shrink insolation.

On another note...not related, but I figured I'd mention it anyway...

Everyone at the Porsche dealership has been AMAZINGLY helpful through all of this, totally the nicest and most honost service staff at a dealership I have ever dealt with. (Before I had the Porsche, I had a Dodge). I think buying my first Porsche was a great idea, to have a car I love, and a dealership I can trust. Amazing.

I gotta say that if it were me, I would return the car. I have been down this road before with dealers and it is a crap shoot.

Good luck and get it in writing and repaired at Porsche. You are due that.

I agree with Richard on this point, get it in writting. You could simply write him an e-mail, confirming your conversation, and ask him to reply back with approval.

Don't get your oil changed at the stealership. Get the German ******************************** or whatever the place is called to do it for you. It's an issue of price, which will probably be $125 vs. $280.

And if the $125 freaks you out, remember, you're pouring 9.25 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic in the motor plus a filter, O-ring, and crush washer for the drain plug. The parts and fluid alone are $85.

Upside: Only needs to be changed once a year or 7,500 miles (Porsche says something like 15k, but they're full of crap according to a vast majority of forum members).

There are no German ********************************' around my area. I'm not too familiar with the Porshe yet, can any German-Import service center change the oil?

[RandallNeighbour]

If I were you, I'd contact someone in your local PCA region and ask them for a good indy mechanic. Most anyone who works on Porsches will be able to change your oil without thought.

The dealer has already agreed to pay 75%, that would seem to be the logical route. These are not easy cars to jump into and start repairing after one day of ownership.
