The car is a 2014 with a production date of 10/13. It has 28 miles on it. During the PDI they noticed a problem with the PDK "Transmission. it's something in reverse gear. The transmission they will be ordered is a new trans later today, after final approval from Porsche.
They finally got to someone who knew what was going on. Apparently there was an issue with the wiring harness in this trans, which of course cannot be replaced. Nothing mechanical.

The car has all the options color and I could not ask for more. My question is should I take the car with a replaced transmission?

Are you leasing or buying? How long you going to keep it?

Personally I would take if it ticks all the right options.

Lease it 29 months

It wouldn't bother me a bit to have a component replaced. Its a machine with sub-assemblies on it, and they can fail. As long as the new one is installed correctly, you're good to go. I had a new car transmission failure on a BMW X5 at 500 miles. An entire new transmission was installed and gave no issues for as long as we owned it - which was 6 more years and another 126,000 miles.

no problem

I would go for it - Of course ask for a discount because of it but especially for a lease - I would do it.

Use it as leverage. But I'd have no reservations even if it doesn't come at a discount.

accce

Thanks for all the support. I will take it

Quadcammer

good rational choice there.

+1 its a no brainer for a lease, a purchase that you might come to sell (privately) later might be a different matter

Negotiate. And buy it.

Beautiful! Love those wheels.

Larry Cable

are those painted exterior color?

sgroer

I believe they are the standard anthracite, which matches agate very well.

They call them Platinum but I thought platinum would be lighter.
