Not Brian Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Man that blows. Whether a Porsche or whatever, I could not imagine scrapping together that much spare coin over 5 years to drop it on my dream car just for that to happen.

unfunnyryan Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Top post on reddit for 2 hours now, during prime time hours. He'll either get a new car or 1000 offers from lemon law lawyers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Why is he going through all this trouble? Most states have Lemon Laws, and it appears he qualifies for them. He doesn't even need to speak to Porsche, just have a lawyer do it! Edit: The guy appears to live in Connecticut, which does have consumer protection Lemon Laws, however they do only apply to new cars and it appears he will have to go through arbitration. http://www.ct.gov/dcp/cwp/view.asp?a=1646&Q=276146&PM=1 Edited April 17, 2014 by JaSSon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is why the Tesla sales model is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Holy shit, wtf. I don't expect my $2x,xxx Toyotas to do that shit. (And they don't.) I can understand you're going to get a car that occasionally has some issues. SO many are built everyday, it's bound to happen. But how does a car have that many issues - And I'm not supposed to believe that Porsche doesn't have other issues? Perhaps not, but I don't understand how this one car is that bad and we're supposed to believe the rest of their cars are reliable? VAG touch of death? The guy in the second vid launching looks like he's having some fun, though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the second vid launching looks like he's having some fun, though. lol Porsche is pretty consistently near the top of brand reliability, being out even Lexus/Toyawno IIRC. There will always be a lemon / bad apple in the bunch, what counts is how you deal with it. In this case, they are dealing with it very, VERY poorly.

AudiOn19s Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sucks for this guy...Like Jones said though you're never going to make every single one of them perfect. 1st year 991 had more issues than most products Porsche releases...a lot of them caught fire (yes standard 991's did that too in limited batches). Buy used...those issues will already have been sorted :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Gotta +1 the lemon law. He clearly satisfies the mandates of that law. I'm giving him a like on YT as well. Sucks to save up buy your dream car then have all those issues. Its more than a bad product. It sours your dream. PS - what is VAG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 PS - what is VAG? Most people on CR don't know despite claims otherwise. :gabe: VAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sounds like Porsche is managing the situation... http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/18/nick-murray-problematic-porsche-911-viral-video/ I find it funny that the owner of a PDK car is posting on 6 Speed... :masturboy::gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Porsche giving him 100% back. Well, it certainly sounds like there was some deal made. He gets their money back, they get a public arse kissing. Hell, I'd do it to rid myself of a $100k+ headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
