Miles on my TT

Hi Bond,

16,500 Miles - never raced, tracked or abused - been driving sticks for 30 years and never burnt a clutch, so I figure I know what I'm doing ;-)

Engine changed at 7500 miles and clutch 'cleaned up' at same time.

Hi Tom,
Yeah that's the way I look at - if you've got a problem, take care of it and upgrade !
As for Porsche's reputation - we'll see how this TT goes on, but I suspect they're going down the Mercedes Benz path and forgetting how expensive it it to replace a lost customer.

Regards Tim

After this one I will not be buying another Porsche car , most importantly their district managers and certain dealers SUCK. They will try any way possible to put the blame on their customers. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

clutch is fine. They just read the computer and re-set it. 30K mile service is $2,000!!!

Ouch!

That's high for 30k service. DTLA Porsche charges about $1100. Even Auto Gallery which is expensive only charges about $1400.
