That's a lot of reading "speculations". Flight from NY to AZ and I'm about caught up... A few pages back I was thinking I need to put a stop to this and stop at McLaren on the way home. Now I am back to thinking my GT3 might not be delayed that much.

I don't think any progress has been made this week, but definitely has my down time attention.

 

I predict my car will be ok.. and I'll be able to drive it tomorrow or Saturday.. Soo I just hope it continues to warm and melts all the snow before the weekend..

-Then they will tell Macca his car is effected, but he will drive it anyways, and it will not only catch on fire, but blow up his entire island..

-- 'I don't know him.. Just some guy in the neighborhood' --

.. In the meantime I just treated my self to a $50 Razer Aluminum Uni-Body Sandblasted Low-Friction Mouse pad and feel better already..

 

I just hope for some communication tomorrow. At this point I'm not even mad...I just want to know the timeframe for what's going on...that shouldn't be too much to ask for. Even if I have to wait for two months...LET ME KNOW so I can either buy something else in the meanwhile or just know Ill have my 3...

 

I will sell my .2 @ MSRP if you guys need a car until this gets sorted out.

 

Due respect, I honestly think you are wrong. Everyone from Porsche I've spoken to including a couple of personal sources indicate that compensation of some kind will be part of the deal. They can't bar you from driving a car you've paid for, for an extended amount of time, and not make it up to you somehow.

 

As far as priority, it would seem to me that the cars that were built and not delivered may get to the head of the line since there are not that many of them AND PORSCHE WANTS TO GET PAID ASAP. Those that took delivery and paid may get pushed back a little. Food for thought.

 

Mike, most likely this will be the scenario but they could turn around and say we did offer you a loaner car which is what they do when you go in for warranty work.

 

I ate your food for thought and threw it up. Nice try though...

 

Mike, I have been right through out this fiasco. Don't dismiss what I just posted.

 

He didn't dismiss it, he ate what you served. His body didn't handle it well, that's all.

 

I think you are right Nick. This would be fair game. It only makes sense to work on the cars that are sitting at the port 1st not the cars who are sitting in air conditioned garages covered with expensive car covers. Porsche know better

Thanks for the "heads up", I just bought one too!

 

silverrules, I guess anything's possible. FWIW when I was at the dealer yesterday the service manager said that he could get me a loaner if I wanted one. I told him I'd held off until now because I didn't want to give Porsche any leverage regarding compensation. He told me that he was sure Porsche was determining compensation and that whether I took a car or not it would have no impact. Take that with a grain of salt.

To repeat a previous story, when my 996 was out of service for a month I got a loaner AND a check for one month's car payment without asking. Personally, I think it's one thing to say, here's the problem, it will take a couple of days to fix, and we'll offer you a loaner. It's quite another to say we don't know what the problem is, and BTW don't drive your new car for an indeterminate period of time which may end up to be a coupe of months (but here's a loaner). I'll be very disappointed if that turns out to be the case.

 

Oh I don't dismiss it.....but I don't think it will play out that way if there is a God in heaven.....

 

Just leave the Volcano Orange pre-owned one alone!
