Well, everything seems to be working fine and they said I could just take it easy on it when adjusting the wheel.

The dealer wants about $300 to fix and with the DYI I found here, I fixed it myself for free( I already had the Si sealant)!!!
I just got the call from my local dealer... as if the $1200 bill for 30k service wasn't enough, and the $500+ for the part that adjusts the window down and up when opening the door... now they are telling me the steering wheel bushings are failing. Found plastic on the floor. $1200. It's a 2003 C2, 28k miles. I have already had it in for numerous warranty issues. Now that it's out of warranty, this is wearing very thin.
So here is my question: Should I see if I can find a local (ATL) euro shop to quote the repair? Should I suck it up and have Porshce do it? Does it involve removing the steering wheel? If so, I'll have Porsche do it.
I was just about to start dumping some cash in on NAV/Stereo, intake, etc... now I don't think I can justify the cost.
Any advice would be appreciated.

As then what part(s) need replacing.
The only part (other than a option steering wheel) that is close to $2000 is the the whole lower steering column at $1800.
Something does not sound right here...
You may want to look around at the DYI's for various steering wheel issues. I had the horn blowing for no reason issue. The dealer wants about $300 to fix and with the DYI I found here, I fixed it myself for free( I already had the Si sealant)!!! Took 2 hours 1 hour and 45 minutes of that was waiting on the sealant to dry!
Well, everything seems to be working fine and they said I could just take it easy on it when adjusting the wheel. I think I will just let it be for now. Thanks for the input.
Pat, please don't tell me you took the car to Jim Ellis or Hennessy. Those guys will rape you.
PM me if you need a couple of recommendations for some Atlanta shops. There is a great one on the top end of the parameter.

Thanks, Chad. Got the info on the other thread I started. Yea, I did. Jim Ellis socked my Mastercard for over $2000 after I got the service, window fixed and a dent popped out.
So here's another question - I need a new windshield, any recommendations?
