Porsche of West Houston gave me a Cayman S. I scheduled another service for a door check strap and window rattle and my SA told me he has limited loaners so I may have to wait a week or two.

I'm guessing it's much harder for them to keep an inventory of loaners since the basic Cayman costs nearly 60k.

Boardwalk Porsche in Dallas will provide a Porsche loaner if one is available (usually a Cayenne). If there aren't any available, they provide a free rental from Enterprise that's located at the Audi dealership next door.

Just got handed an '09 Cayman 6 spd with 1800 miles on the clock from Sonnen in Marin. Nice ride, a bit slow though, and I can't stand the hill holder clutch.
No good here in San Francisco, some of the fun of feathering the clutch on a steep hill is lost.

Every time I bring my C4S in for service, I get a little 4cyl Honda Accord, however, the last time I got a brand new Acura TSX to drive for a few days.

I want to ask are the buyers who are upset about not getting a porsche loaner (like the OP) the same ones that are asking for every dollar discount they can get from the same dealer?

just curious.

We have a Boxster and a Cayenne in our current loaner pool. Most customers get an A4 though.

When the times were good, I used to get Boxster loaners. Nowadays, all I get are the Enterprise rentals, and only for major service. Otherwise, it's a couch in their posh lounge.

Hennessy here in ATL - they loan out PDK Caymans and Boxsters - couldn't talk 'em into giving me a 6spd - they said they had to stop that as too many people would wreck the clutches

Of course you have to book it - show up on the fly and you probably get a rentile.

I'd guess it depends on the market where you live. Here with BMW, MB, Lexus, etc all doing the loaners, any premium brand dealer probably has to, to compete.

i did take advantage of the discounts, the fact that porsche says i should get a porsche loaner is the reason im upset for not getting one.. if someone says you'll get something then they should stand by it.. not pawn you off on a jetta. if they said "hey we'll give you an additional 500$ off if you promise to only take jetta loaners" then thats a diff story, but i simply took advantage of the current rebates and bought the car because of that.

Both times I have had my car in for service at Jack Danial's they gave me a Cayenne S, they seem to use Cayenne's and Audi A6's for Porsche customers.
