I picked it up this past Monday (sorry - Pics to come), and when I took it out this past weekend, I realized that it doesn't have PDCC - the suspension is standard PASM and the PDCC is just missing.


As dumb as it sounds, is there recourse as I purchased it thinking it does have PDCC? The car is beautiful, rides like a dream, but at the same time, I am a little bummed that it doesn't have the option that I paid for.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What did the dealership say when you contacted them about this?

sphynxdude

I am still waiting to hear back form them - just wanting to have my ducks in a row for when I do hear back.

New? Used? Are you sure you don't have it?

The car is CPO - I don't see a toggle for it anywhere - the suspension toggle isn't labeled as 'PDCC'

If they truly made a mistake, I think a $1,500 cash refund would be fair. Are they local? Maybe ask for a $2,000 service credit. Do you think the PDCC was actually priced into your deal? Is it on the window sticker? Or the build sheet off the VIN?

Did you run your VIN to see what Porsche notes as your options?

sphynxdude

I have not run the VIN yet - am just going to wait for the Dealer to get back to me tomorrow. The information that it has PDCC was listed on the Dealer's webpage.

To find out more tomorrow - Thanks everyone!

my 2012.5 C2S has PDCC and doesn't have that sticker on the button either, in fact I didn't even know that some cars had this until I saw this thread and googled it:

If you want to run the VIN yourself just add your VIN where the current VIN is located and all your options should be listed. This is courtesy of another Rennlist member. All caps and only zero's, not O's

Didn't they include a build sheet in with your purchase paperwork? With a CPO, they usually have a print out of the build sheet included. Look through your paperwork.

If it's something that was just on their website listing they'll try to just chalk it off as an error that someone made. My dealer had mine listed as a manual instated of PDK. Probably worked in my favor seeing more PDK's are sold.

They relabled the shock button in 2014 with pdcc probably because of this very issue. 2012-2013 only had the shock button because you really can't turn pdcc off. You can only turn the shocks on and off.

Cool . . . I ran my VIN number on my car on its way from the San Diego dock this weekend. They built it correctly as ordered!

Good tool...thanks!

OP, I hope you are feeling better now. PDCC doesn't have an on/off setting AFAIK. It adjusts itself as it wants to - out of your control.

As for the original question, I would suggest that in this kind of situation there would be no recourse. You could give them the car back and cancel the sale if it was misrepresented. Otherwise, it would just be considered a "typo" and there's probably a disclaimer somewhere.

Depending on the mistake made, you might get an apology, a keychain or a free oil change. Other than that, it's caveat emptor.

But it looks like the OP is OK, so that's good.
