I recently purchased a CPO targa 4s , 2008.
I noticed the it was handling well on cold roads, no surprise.
So i had the dealership install a winter set. Upon inspecting the
tires the car came with, I was surprised to see there wasn't much tread (3-4mm).
Certainly not 8mm as documented on the CPO form. So I went back to the dealer, they are replacing the tire set and the current management, including service, is new since I purchased the car, were apologetic.

I am thrilled to be getting a fresh set but wondering if any of you would also demand/request anything else, such as compensation for the winter set or anything else. I am not a litigious person and since the current crew is willing to work it out, I do not plan reporting this to BBB etc.

 

that should say 'wasn't handling well'

 

Hell no. They're being very generous. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

 

It would raise the question - Did they perform an inspection or just tick the boxes on the report.

 

I think they handeled the situation well, as did you. Win-win. If you are going to drive in the winter, you need snow tires, regardless.

 

Second the above motion.....

 

sounds good fellas. I am the one who had to have the engine replaced due to a scored cylinder.
since this most recent thing, I had them re-cpo it, with a multipoint checklist so everything else is documented including brakes. I want to maintain a good relationship with them and also the current service team has been very understanding.

 

In that case be happy with a new set of tyres.

 

Was there a post about this? Tell me more.

 

Just a FYI. - Brake rotors are not on the cpo checklist, only the pads are inspected. Isn't that just the best? What else don't they bother putting on the cpo checklist?

I think they did you a solid.
Don't be greedy.

 

Yes there was - basically a ticking noise from the engine, replaced chain tensioner, drove 400 miles, persisted, did engine teardown, found cyl4 scored; so reman. from porsche. currently 200 miles.

 

I highly recommend doing a proper engine break in per Porsche's owner's manual, and at the 1,000 mile mark, do an oil and filter change.

 

May I ask which dealer this was? Arlington? Tysons?
