You would be surprised.
Someone on this board came across a very expensive legal team on an insurance claim case. They do it NOT to set a precidence, and to warn others.
I do think you got screwed ,just be very careull on next steps i would think.

well good luck with your venture. There was that English guy who sed social media to get Porsche to buy the car back a little while back . But i dont think he wanted more than he paid for it.

Please let us know how it turns out.

I just re-read your original post... sorry, I missed an important detail.

If you have clear evidence that the engine is messed-up, and they are being this difficult. I suggest you take the hit on returning the car without n-rated tires, and walk away knowing you only lost a few thousand on the deal. If you do anything else you will always live with the fact that you are getting screwed and you will never be able to truly enjoy the car.

Very sorry about your experience... it sucks that people work hard to own such a lovely car to have a bunch of lawyers and bad business people mess things up.

If everything falls apart, I will help you throw cheap wrenches at the Pfaff dealership in Toronto... (Just kidding, I don't support vandalism)

PCNA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche AG. PC Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of PCNA. The head people at PC Canada actually report to PCNA not Germany. When I had a problem two years ago with my 991 Radio it was settled, sorted by PCNA staff very efficiently. Both the cheque and the leather jacket came from PCNA not PC Canada.

My appologies .. i interpreted your statement about "i couldn't buy an RS for what i paid a year and a half ago" to mean you wanted replacement value ...

carry on

You have had the use of the car for 18 months. Why argue over nickels and dimes?

Despite my earlier comments I am a bit surprised how they're handling this. I looked at that PTS RS at Pfaff last summer and I was more than a bit surprised when the salesman suggested they were "negotiating" with Porsche Canada about CPO.

Negotiating? I would have thought it was more black and white as to whether a car was good enough to be CPO...
