Justin:

If you have some shop space or garage where you can work on the car that will be a big help. The prices quoted do seem high, but that is the burden the Porsche puts us under - you buy a "prestige" car and everyone assumes you have a prestige wallet - not so.

The money you might spend on those fixes is better put into the tools you will need long-term to maintain your car. Again, if you have the space, you can start racking up the tools and perform the self-serve. I guarantee if you can find a Pelicanite with experience close by (there must be dozens...) and consider paying them a small stipend you will learn and have the tools you need as well.

Best of luck - great cars, the SC. You bought a good one. Pics.
