Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Try Porsche of Orlando (FL). They had a couple sitting in their office area last fall when I asked. Offered at about $800 as I recall.

I think if you drive in the winter + snow, salt splasing, etc. you really should consider a h'top. It really doesn't look that bad and feels like a coupe. Plus you can lower the rear window!
Thanks Don. Actually it is a second car for me and a lease, so buying the hard top would be a couple of year investment but if I can drive the car more often it may be well worth it.
I have the hard top but haven't used it yet except to drive home from the dealership back in March. I can't decide if I should sell it or not, as I like the look of the convertible with the top up. While I plan to drive the car in the winter, I will not take it out except on dry, clear days (it's a weekend car), so Don's point probably doesn't apply to me. Should I sell it or keep it?
hey bob,
finally gave in and put my top on this week. i've noticed a few squeeks but it's not bad. just have to get used to a new noise in the car for the next few months.

The dealer, brandywine fell through and the parts guy never callled back after numerous call to him. I guess I'll keep looking. David, I'm sure the noises are a lot less than with the conv. top only. Hey I was in Chicago all week, what town are you in?
