Having been through two lemon law arbitrations here in Arizona, and winning both of them without a lawyer... I can tell you that, at least under Arizona law; you are FAR better off winning a lemon law case than you are taking a 2500 discount for a new vehicle.
In the first case, Lexus gave me a brand new two year newer vehicle with more options than my original vehicle... and just exchanged the VIN on my loan (change of collateral)... I got a brand new vehicle for NO COST.
In the second case, Nissan bought back a two year old vehicle, and paid me EVERY payment I ever made in addition to paying off the loan. They took out .10 per mile for the mileage driven. We walked away from the deal with about 10k in cash.
If you have a strong case, and are capable of presenting your case in an unemotional manner... I'd say that you should start the process. Read up on your local laws... make sure you have ALL DOCUMENTATION supporting you case... and then fire off a certified letter (in the format required) to Porsche. Note that in Arizona, you by law, must give the manufacturer a final attempt to make a repair before you can begin the arbitration process.
If you have the money... hire a lawyer.
If not, the process while time consuming, is fairly straightforward.
