It might not be half a million where you live, but it is half a million where he lives, and it is even more than that where I live.

In the grand scheme of things this is a first world problem and not a big deal of course, he still got his car and he will still enjoy it for many years I'm sure. But I still believe if you ordered a car, placed a deposit and/or signed a contract then that car should be yours. It shouldn't be lent out or used for any events without your consent.

Hey, I really feel for you, that is unquestionably no way to be treated when you purchase a new car let alone a GT3

you have written a very eloquent story, I am sure you have specific facts and evidence to avoid both confusion and being undermined if there is a debate

I’d forget lawyers, too slow, too expensive and I suspect enough to detract from owning and loving your GT3, which you should very much do.

id write a well constructed letter to Porsche headquarters making the points particularly how it made you feel. I’d then speak to the press about an article being careful about putting yourself in a compromised position

i thiink some compensation for the seats is in order if that cannot be resolved and I think you need an apology from Porsche themselves with something that underpins this. They spend a lot of money on advertising, be nice if they turned this sad story into a happy one. Money well spent I’d say

I would have showed up at the press event, and sat in the drivers seat, and refused to move.

Though I haven't read all the replies yet, I would agree that posting here is enough for Porsche to know about your story. This seems very serious, pls keep us updated.

Surprised to see how some people believe this is fine. Certainly not if this happens to me. And yes, cars are expensive in certain countries, any luxury car in China is probably more than double the price in US.
