"My dealer is also closed here in Canada and if I guess correctly it won’t be opening soon. My first service is due in 1 week and there’s no way to get the oil change done legally here. I might end up doing the oil change myself if I can order the parts. My 991.2 is my daily driver and I need the car to go to work as a physician... "

If you don't want to do the oil change and prefer to wait a few months or some extra miles won't hurt it.

Nashua could of offered me the same car for 5k cheaper. I would of still bought it from the other dealer.

That doesn’t help your situation so sorry, and it’s not their fault they had to close for health reasons. But none the less I think the dealership is terrible and if you reached out to another more helpful dealer it’s possible they would of done something to help get you your tires/wheels out of the building for pick up at least.
I am OK driving on my winter tires until end of April. It is still cold. It looks like some service centers are still open. Auto repair shops are considered an essential business and people still need to go to work whether they are driving a Porsche or a Toyota. If I need a repair, I will take it to Stratham or Burlington.
My 911 is the second car that I ordered from Porsche of Nashua, the first being a Boxster S in 2013. The place has changed. My experience during the Boxster purchase (also ordered from the factory) was vastly better than the 911. Service department was very good too. Now they are brusque and often need to reminded to do simple things like adjusting tire pressure etc. Don't know what happened. Also they don't return emails. Tried to get some info on warranty plans but nobody replied. Like you, I can't recommend them anymore.

Really? How many deaths will stop you from thinking that way. The view is that people without symptoms are unknowingly spreading it. Once this calms down, and if still alive, I'll make sure I avoid contact with anyone from states that do not take this seriously

I shouldn’t be complaining because there are a lot of people in worse situations but just needed to vent about Porsche of Nashua. I did a build the beginning of the year and when last checked it was suppose to arrive in port las week. Do you think I would have gotten a heads up on the fact that they were closing and what was going to happen to the car ? I have gotten no response after calling.
I am assuming the shutdown is going to last way beyond 5/4 and going to need a car soon as my lease is up and don’t want to be sinking money into for maintenance. Seriously want to cancel but they have my 10 % deposit Any comments ?

Everything is over hyped. This is all by design to destroy the economy to impose new laws and more government control.

You are kidding right? Do you live under a rock somewhere?
So the government completely collapses the economy and puts 10 million people out of work so they can get you to put in solar panels? Please say you are kidding that you think the bodies in NYC being stacked by forklifts is a hoax.

Their website says that people are working remotely for sales, leases, scheduling future service appointments etc. But there isn't any response. Have you tried calling your sales person on his or her cellphone?

Looks like my nearest dealer is still open, but they have withdrawn all complimentary pastries and snacks. Well, why even bother going now?
