Ali and Sons said the same in UAE - Abu Dhabi
They're due to an announcement today or tommorow.

I just got this e-mail from my dealer:

----------------

We now know the cause and we know the scope of the repair.
Tonight I will send you a letter by postal mail, composed by Porsche AG. which will explain these circumstances.

----------------

He then promised to scan the document and send by e-mail tonight too, but said PAG had instructed to send it by postal mail.

MAKHNO

Speaking of 997 CL failures, the video from Nürburgring where one breaks was pulled from Youtube (maybe PAG lawyers?)
But it is here:

Makhno, do you reckon you could strong arm your dealer into reading it out to you over the phone?

Cheers

All this seems to be bad news. The fix is complicated and lengthy. I guess those hoping for Santa to come are going to be very disappointed. What a way to start the week after all this anticipation

Sending the update by regular mail?! Ha! That sounds like stalling to me,but I've been wrong before...

Thanks to all who have posted so far. Please post further details if you receive them. This is getting stranger by the minute, as opposed to clearer. Postal mail?!?!!

Just a thought if dealers say this, just tell them I will stop by today to get the letter to save you the cost of postage!!

Postal mail? This makes no sense. Maybe PAG is run by Nigerians now? Do you first have to wire the sum of $21,688.43 into an offshore account?

This is the nuttiest car deal I have ever been involved in!

Next they will ask us for our SSN and personal information in order to wire the documents to us, plus 1 million dollars

I have said this before, If you are a soon to be 918 owner and based on how Porsche is handling the GT3, would you trust them with your $1 million's today?

I must say that I am actually surprised that my dealer has been the most straight forward today ( as I hadn't heard from him since they took my care). But he at least had the decency to call me and make an offer.

Seriously, I've been patient this whole time giving gobs of credit that PAG was deserving of, I thought.

But, "We've got the answer and I have to transmit it to you via paper and ink with people carrying the message and transporting it with vehicles in a way that will take days"? Why is Porsche deliberately avoiding direct and efficient ways to communicate with customers?

Are we in the twilight zone???

The scary thought here is that the dealer in Qatar would not make an offer if the fix was quick and simple. I must admit that i would not wait for another 3 months for a fix or even a 2 months for that mater. I would cancel my order and get myself a 2015 GT3.

Thant being said, I'm truly disappointed with the way Porsche have handled this unless they have a trick up their sleeve.

This is speculation from my part but i reckon this could be the case where they've kept us in the dark and in the background are getting the parts shipped and replaced at the dealers so when they finally come out with the announcement, they tell us we'll get our cars back in a week or two?

I know this is wishful thinking however I would handle the situation this way instead on announcing the fix immediately and telling people they had to wait for a month or two.

just my $0.02
