Dear Mr. Gordon, Isn't your Porsche just as amazing now as the day you bought it? You should get rid of it. Solid campaign, Porsche. <smh>

LOL. We must've been writing at the same time, each as clueless as the other.

PCNA is on a marketing roll.

I get monthly a variety of mail from corporate and from two dealerships (one where i got my 991 and the other my Macan) offering fantabulous deals on trades for new cars. Yesterday I received in the mail an impressive box that contained a a brochure about roadside assistance, a cross the board marketing brochure for everything Porsche sells, a nice branded pen and a personal welcome to Porsche ownership from Klaus Zelner. Funny message as I've had Porsches since 1973. It must have been prompted by my trading in a 2016 Macan for a used 2018 Macan turbo.

Now I'm miffed 'cause I read about the better bling Rennlisters get and all I got was a lousy pen....I'll hold off on a Taycan. I asked my SA to talk to Klaus next time he drops by.

I’ve ordered 5 cars since 2013: ‘13 Boxster S, ‘15TT, ‘16 Boxster GTS, ‘17 Targa 4S and a ‘19 C4 cab.
CrIckets.
I get something every month from Mercedes asking me to trade in my ‘16 S550 4matic, my one and only Mercedes order ever.
No idea.

Oh yeah, no bling either. They must know I voted for Trump?

They know you're a customer, they know you bought, beats making cold calls or blanket mailings.

I don't believe either one of those tactics would reach much of the Porsche world demographics.

They have to play the cards they are dealt.

it showed up in my mailbox too.

I recently dropped by the Porsche store and waited while they swapped my summer for winter tires. I heard the siren call of a new car - exact color of my 991.1 - exterior and interior....I opened the door, sat down, smelled the new leather, picked up the price sheet and remembered that I have a fully paid for and great performing car...
