I can tell you I was glad the Macan was under warranty. The transfer case replacement would've been around $6k and the head gasket close to the same. :eek:

Great looking car -- classy, like it's wearing a tux. My wife and I were commenting on how we probably would not have appreciated the 981 nearly as much without the experience of driving a 986.
