turboT Posted 20February, 2016 Report Share Posted 20February, 2016 I get what they are trying to do. Cool space (ish) and all that, but no idea about our much loved brand or the market. Picked up (rescued) my 997tt today. No doubt back on the market soon, but will let the dust settle for a week or so.the final straw - managed to stick 400kms on the car despite forgetting to advertise it for one of the three weeks they had it...you've been warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumperson Posted 20February, 2016 Report Share Posted 20February, 2016 No way. That is extrodinarily uncool. Can you get a Porsche dealer to see if it has been over revved or something stupid? Send the pricks an invoice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 20February, 2016 Report Share Posted 20February, 2016 I'm shocked..............I was only out for just over an hour, must have managed to sit on an average of about 380km/ph - so much for the 318 acclaimed top speed! The cars amazing and a true credit to its previous owner - just not for me unfortunately, MPG was too high for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted 21February, 2016 Report Share Posted 21February, 2016 Tom, that is fu@king shameful. I don't know who I'd report it to but surely there has to be some governance over this kind of blatant abuse. Does their web page have a comments link. We could all chime and with a slab of constructive comments. Pm me if you need a gun ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 21February, 2016 Report Share Posted 21February, 2016 you test drove an auto? It's a bloody 4 aswell? Aren't there moderator rules against that kind of behaviour??I had a moment of relapse, I almost bought a scooter while I was there too. The mods have been very supportive thankfully, I'm in remission and remaining positive. Seriously though, its not good form. Not sure if they are aware of this forum but I'm guessing they will be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD86 Posted 21February, 2016 Report Share Posted 21February, 2016 Have you tried come to some resolution/settlement with them? Maybe we shouldn't say too much on here until that process is complete. By now they are likely aware of the internet reign of fire that is coming their way if they don't play ball.For legal purposes do you have proof of mileage before and after? It ain't libel or slander if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 21February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 21February, 2016 guessing they will be now. they certainly will be if they get a few 100 bogus sales enquiries It is what it is. Too easy to expose bad service with technology. Maybe they will learn.Moving on - ad (with proper photos) been up for a few hours and already expecting my first lowball offer. Ah, the fun of selling cars...For legal purposes do you have proof of mileage before and after? It ain't libel or slander if it's true.taken exactly three weeks ago.

TINGY Posted 21February, 2016 Report Share Posted 21February, 2016 Disgraceful, you would think if someone was really "test driving" your car they would give you a heads up via a phone call as a courtesy? Are they compelled to do this? Very poor form and word on the street travels a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they compelled to do this? Very poor form and word on the street travels a long way.first time I have ever done this so not totally sure of standard practice. I fully expect them to have had to do test drives, just a bit surprised at the km's when I had been told there was no interest. In the end was just not the quality of service and presentation I would believe it takes to sell a car like this so have walked away. They clearly have a business that works, just not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
