As a european, I assure you there's absolutely nothing snobbish about pronouncing these words "euro-style".

Someone on the internets said:

"What's the difference between a Porsche and a hedgehog? In the Porsche, the pricks are on the inside". Judging from the driving style of local Porsche owners, it's not really true. BMW and VAG drivers are far much worse.

Also, best of luck with the scoob, sounds like a fun car!

But this is America and we pronounce words per our own dialect. I drove a history professor crazy in college once because I refused to pronounce Joseph Goebbels name "properly". My response was that we won and they lost so I will pronounce his name however I please.

Don't start hating on Porsche owners...

And that seems like a pretty decent price for the car if the person who did the swap knows the history (and can provide documents) of the pieces used in the swap.
