I did it. Brought it home last night. I ended up renting a car one-way to pick it up with my brother Dave. My work schedule ran a little late to catch the train at noon. At 2:30 pm, we got a rental from Avis and drove through the traffic and rain to The Auto Gallery, the Porsche dealer in Woodland Hills, CA. Los Angeles traffic is notoriously bad and with yesterday's all day rain, the drive took 4 1/2 hours for 140 miles. We arrived just past 7 pm, their closing time, but David Lang, Sales Manager, waited for us. Within an hour or so, we were back on the road to San Diego.
First off, I want to thank David Lang for his tremendous service. He dealt with me personally and even called me this morning to check that the car and I came home safe. Not only did I feel I got a deal-of-a-lifetime, I got it from an awesome dealership.
More pics later.

I find it more awesome that you landed a whooping bargain! A friend had his Dodge the last minute too, but, congrats! How were you able to track yours down?

I used autotrader.com as my main source for deals. I also followed ebay auctions, as that was the best price barometer.
