Type R Club of America

The DPSM spoke with some of the local stores about getting me in a 2019. He couldn't guarantee anything and let the Sales Managers know I was looking at 2019 CTR's. One store offered $32k for my car ($2k below NADA clean trade-in for the low mileage) and $1k under MSRP on the new sale. Another offer...

I'm thinking of a 996TT after the awful experience I had trying to take care of a simple CTR warranty issue with the harness that I've detailed in another thread. I like the CTR.

A big part of it was the GM trying to get reimbursed for a ton of additional labor for working with Tech Line on the CTR. The store's Tech was able to press on a harness wire attached to the boost solenoid, causing ...

I don't recall the exact description, but the GM called yesterday and stated that they needed to replace a boost control manifold sensor. The part would be installed today and I should get the car back. The GM and DPSM tried calling me today, but I was not available when they called. I called back a...
