The land Champion owns off the highway alone (including a lot more than just where the massive dealership sits) is more than enough to cover the 2.5mm 50x over. How have they not returned every single deposit by the end of today’s business day after this unraveled is mindblowing. The PR nightmare alone is worth handing back every deposit and then some. How many prospective and current clients they will lose after this gets out publicly makes 2.5mm look like absolutely nothing. Blows my mind how people running Champion have 0.0 common sense to even see this outcome.

I am assuming they are handing out release agreements with NDAs attached to return the deposits. Or soon will. Anyone who has a signed contract has more leverage than just return of deposit. Fraud, treble damages, damages to get a replacement etc. not familiar with Florida law on it, but champion is a deep pocket (presumably) so I am guessing someone will go after more than deposit return.

Champion will need to honor these customer deposits, with or without insurance coverage — at least if it wants to remain in business.

The salesman sounds like a world class putz.

I’ve made multi attempts to discuss scenarios with their legal team. They haven’t accepted my call, they haven’t returned my call, they won’t respond to email. The dealership refuses to call me. Communication goes a long way. I understand that some victims have been contacted with offers for cars they didn’t spec and don’t want. They haven’t done that with me. I’ve reached out to PCNA and that went nowhere. What doesn’t ad up is Porsche realizes the guys that want their GT cars, the guys that track their GT cars, are the guys that rave about them. These same folks work hard and reward theirselves with their Porsche brand. Some idiot throughout this link is worried his GT car will depreciate because the world has to many now. I’m sure that guys never taken his car to the track to really push it hard, the whole reason it was designed. the whole ordeal crushes my sole. I’ve loved these cars since I was a child. I want to tell people why these cars are special. Porsche may not realize this but this whole ordeal is turning people away from their brand. Maybe that has no meaning to them.

It seems nothing weve discusses has engaged PCNA. That in itself disguses me. I’m not sure they care about the customer. If they did, why not a public announcement?

If they cared about their brand, they should be reading this thread. Days, weeks or months...that could be true but communication usually solve allot of problems. They need to make a public statement. Leadership comes for the top. If I’m Porsche Germany, I’d be worried. These guys want their cars.

In a mess like this everyone is looking for deep pockets. I would not assume Champion has liquid assets available to pay 2.5M, let alone other fees and damages claimed. Financial assets can be highly leveraged. This is a criminal investigation of large scale fraud. PCNA lawyers are not going to volunteer even implied associations with this “wholly independent franchise”.
