Scouser: I don't recall if I read it here or on another board but apparently cars were being moved at the dealership and the GT3 was left unattended with keys in it.

Deary me!
In the UK, you won't get payed out by the insurance if your keys are in the ignition when its stolen unless it is hijacked.

Common folks. The dealership was shuffling cars on their property so give them a break. Its not freaking Iraq!

I don't know if it was prompted by the misadventure of this GT3 but I noticed when I was visiting my dealer earlier this year they required a physical handoff on the keys to all cars being moved. This may not be Iraq but there's definitely folks around that are looking for targets of opportunity.

So, I guess you are saying that it would have been acceptable to you if it was your car that was stolen for from the dealer's lot because they were moving it around and they left the keys in. No I would not give them a break. I would say they were totally irresponsible and incompetent............and what the hell has Iraq got to do with it?

Sorry about my wording, should have been "Come on folks" but you readers cut me some slack anyway.

Typically, new car dealers in the USA do not watch over every vehicle on their property as though they were priceless commodities. They are just cars to them. As far as a car in service, it is vulnerable during normal service hours because the keys are often just behind the service counter in plain view! I expect most lock them up after hours.

Iraq relevance! We are an open and free society they are not (yet). We have plenty of car thieves and thugs but we don't secure everything as one probably has to do in Iraq these days.

This theft was a sad event but beating on the Porsche dealer is unfair in my opinion.

Alfie,

As an FYI someone from our local chapter tried to buy this car but another salesperson at your dealership was less than forthcomign with whether or not Porsche would ever honor the warranty. Now we hear the car has been sold to someone in California. Can you tell us did they buy the car without a warranty or did Porsche agree to honor it?

Is unstealable a word?

Alfie

GR, we were having trouble figuring out how much warranty coverage there actually was with that car. The person who bought intended to turn it into a pure track car, so warranty was of no concern with him. Sorry your club member had difficulty purchasing the car. Next time, be sure they contact me directly....

I had the exact same expirience.


Is anyone willing to disclose wht the car sold for?
