Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Model 930 3.3 Year 1979 Acquired may 2012 @richardkle

I received some unpleasant news regarding my

930 this month. I discovered, when lifting the car, that the exhaust fan is not original. In addition, due to the low height of the car, the non-original fan has been crumpled after taking what appears to be many hits underneath the Turbo.

I went to the authorised Porsche dealer in Rio de Janeiro and they gave me an incredibly expensive quote – equivalent to US $32,000 – to change it! Coincidentally, it’s the same value my 930 was when it left the US. It’s time for Porsche in Brazil to review its values. This cost is simply impracticable! The parts in the US cost around $1,300, so I think I’ll have to buy the exhaust fan in the US and install it myself. Taxes for imported products in Brazil are exorbitant, but nothing justifies such a high value!
