Would be interesting to see what Main Line Porsche offered OP to 'solve' this.

The original story is deleted and all that left is suggesting people to bring their business to the dealership that screwed him weeks ago.

Must be an incredible solution to alter your opinion completely.

You guys can call bs on not wanting the 2RS for msrp but I €™m getting something I want even more.

ok BS.

ill say it again- I salute you for your service but to act as if this whole thing is a big nothing burger after YOU threw an entire dealership under the bus and then said it was miscommunication....come on man. That ain’t right.

Not sure we want this kind of attitude or veiled threat at Smokies, we need to make sure Sean and Mayur see this post. Youre going so far down the wrong path, maybe you dont even realize it. It starts with you taking down your post when its been replicated many times, which is a disingenuous and desperate act at best, and definitely a poor attempt at manipulation. You owe everyone who backed you under the assumption of truth, an explanation and most likely a sincere apology. Hiding behind the internet is never a good idea.. so put those "core values starting with integrity" which you proudly proclaim were instilled in you by the military to work, and do the right thing, here and now. Please.

Wow.
Your original post has been deleted, you manipulated RL, and don't "owe any of (us) a thing".
So much for those Air Force core values and integrity first.

Well said. No need for threats/intimidation on RL or at a wonderful fundraising event like the Smokies.

I know Sean personally and he's a great guy. If you can't wait for him to post a resolution to his issue with the dealership then unfollow the thread.

He doesn't owe anyone here anything.

Furthermore, using threats and hiding behind the military vet status just discredits the "core value" vet play even more.

Sean is a great guy. I think things in here are just spiraling out of control at this point. Sean’s character shouldn’t be judged by the most recent posts. I’m sure this has been a stressful few days managing this thread and the dealership. Just brainstorming here but perhaps part of Sean’s deal with Mainline is to keep his mouth shut about the resolution. And there could be a few reasons they asked that of him. I don’t know.

I can say two positive things here since I have relationships and experience worth both.

Sean is as loyal and as stand up as they get. We all act on emotions sometimes and not everything plays out the way we plan. Whether a deal with a dealership or a tiff with someone on the forums. Unfortunately here online you can never erase it. But Cut the guy slack. We all make mistakes. **** I pray I’m forgiven for some of the mistakes I’ve made in life

Porshe of the Mainline I also have a relationship with. I have bought countless cars from them over the years and they have done nothing but live up to all their promises with me and always delivered. I love my salesman and the operation as a whole. I live in manhattan and they pick up and drop off my Porsche’s for service all the way from Phlly no charge! Sometimes even from my office out on Long Island.

So, given human nature and knowing all my own ****ups I suggest everyone cuts sean AND Mainline a little slack. Crap happens all the time and a we’re defined by how we handle the adversity.

Water under the bridge as far as I’m concerned.

Don't think anything has changed has it ? Dealer and OP had some sort of deal regarding a GT2RS of which the fact (that OP hasn't denied) is, dealer now wants $250K over. OP wasn't happy (as 90% of us on here wouldn't be) and shared.
Sometime since, dealer has come to realise a "oh crap" moment with it blowing up on him, so cuts a deal with a gag order. Motivated either via the negative publicity on here etc or by a very helpful lawyer pointing it out to them...

Fairly standard settlement when one party knows he is in the wrong and has to cough up a bit to settle it.

OP does his part of the deal and removes said internet posts and makes positive sentiment that its all good. Receives what ever he has now been promised...

More to point when the OP can talk it might be insightful as to know if a lawyer friend that got him back at the table, his own negotiation skills or the power of the angry rennlist mob.
