Saw what appeared to be a very new 997TT that had some pretty bad front end damage at Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills, CA. If it's anyone on here, I feel your pain! Almost cried.

LOL....i know the story behind it dont ask how i just do! So this young guy went to test drive a Turbo and liked it so he came back the next day to get it and he went for a test drive again and somewhere he wanted to turn around so he had to reverse but accidently put it in to 1st while he thought its in Reverse...and you all know what happened then....BANG!!! crashed in to a curb!! And messed up a whole front but dealer had another Turbo in stock so he bought another one. I actualy have a pic of them both while they were still ok so if anyone is interested i can post it.. I saw the guy Twice driving around in his new turbo like a maniac racing everyone and anyone even tryed to race me and my friend in a slow VW!

Sorry the quality is not that good I took it one night with my phones camera...So I assume that one of the 1st 2 cars were crashed and he still bought the other one...because shortly after the picture both of the cars were gone and just few weeks later I found out about the whole story of that bad test drive

They wouldnt give him a diminished vaule discount on the one he crashed?

So now will the dealership do the work and charge the insurance company full rate?

How are they going to do the work if they don't have a bodyshop ? Which they don't.

BTW, the dealerships deductable is too high (all dealerships) for this relatively minor damage. They just add the accident damage to the invoice or ,if used, to the recon sheet and hope to recuperate it at the time of the sale otherwise they eat it.

From what i know the dealer ordered parts from germany already including radiators that got smashed....so i guess they will try to fix it somewhere and i also saw one 996 turbo there that was after accident a while ago...

What are you trying to say ? Or is this net blackmailing ?

blueillusion97

What im trying to say is that the damage was not so minor considering they need new radiators....and as you sed "How are they going to do the work if they don't have a bodyshop ? Which they don't." I was pointing out that they have more cars that need body work so somehow they do have ability to fix them, unless they are just collecting dust there...Maybe they send them somewhere else or maybe they have their own bodyshop somewhere in different location that i dont know...And as far as blackmailing goes, No im not. I am just talking with people about any subject that has to do anything with my pasion..Porsche!
