I take it you didn't call AAA for a flat bed transport?

When you first mention "the dealer" I'm assuming you mean the dealer that sold you the car?

So following on from that, it DIDN'T go to a recognized Porsche indy or official dealer?

I'm trying to figure what exactly went on, but it looks like:

The electrical issue:
Have had two 986/996 alternator suddenly quit, causing all sorts of warning light issues.

If the Porsche hasn't had the ignition lock assembly update, it may need it. have seen the key out of the car and engine still running, again, all sorts of warning light issues.

When you describe the handling as "floating" are the tires matching brands? the correct pressures (all round)? and did you have anyone else (with Porsche experience) drive it to check?

Did you have a buyer's inspection before purchase, does the car have only one key and no books?
