….and video is strangely watchable.

he never would’ve had a problem if he bought a morris minor 😉

This is what happens when you let the Greens run Baden-Wurtenburg! 😀

he deserves it, he bought a fast car and is therefore clearly a speedfreak who bought it for one reason only, and is a danger to himself and anyone else in the vicinity.

oh hang on, wrong thread.

Safe to say after watching that video that I’ll never buy a Porsche

Roof bars on a 911. Nice.

“Did you spot it? Yeah, they replaced the horn, the one **** thing on the car that does work!”

As someone who has owned both a Morris Minor and a 911 I would say he probably would have.

Hope Porsche do the decent thing and accept that the car’s a shitter.

After having a list of serious problems with a brand new VW Transporter, I know first hand how upsetting and stressful that situation can be.

I was always under the impression that a 911 was an ‘everyday and easy albeit expensive to live with’ super car; obviously not.

Porches Facebook and Twitter feeds are getting interesting.

He should have bought an S3

Meanwhile, in Syria…

I do feel for him. He saved five years for a car that is, indeed, a lemon.

Lets be honest here; if we saved five years, even two, for a bicycle that had as many problems we’d be starting petitions on change.org and posting the link on this very forum.

FFS, are you blind? That Porsche is dark blue, not lemon 🙄

(or rather it’s himalayan midnight blue or possibly damp bellyfluff blue)

Did Molgrips win the lottery? And become Australian?

😆

I feel sorry for the fella – a few years ago, I too had a mad moment and bought myself a 911. Never again – it also spent considerable amount of time in a Porsche service centre, most if it now a distant nightmare.

Meanwhile, in Syria…

You kind of trailed off there. In Syria…?

Did Molgrips win the lottery? And become Australian?

GENIUS 😀

Don’t think i want a Porsche anymore 🙁
Hope he gets his money back poor bugger.

That car’s a proper lemon!

Poor guy.

can’t be arsed watching him waffle on. I’d argue that saving 5 years for a porsche is a waste of time.

He could have bought a galactic mileage Skoda straight away.

Porsche should give him his money back or take them to court.

Poor guy.

Should have bought a Beemer 😉

Or a Honda. That sucker would have kept on running till that guy was on his pension.

That’s crap. I’ve backed him up on Twitter. I only worked in retail management for 12 years and should know less than the folks at Porsche but I at least know that this issue should have been sorted out a lot quicker.

Putting roof bats on a 911, you deserve everything you get and the dealer is just letting him know that.

Also he has no mates so filming all the defects while driving is such a great idea for safety.

Apart from that I’d be parking it outside the showroom and offering to take people out for demo runs in it until I got my money back.

Something is very odd here. Porsche build quality and customer service is outstanding. I’ve never heard of such a catalogue of issues over many years and with many friends with Porsche’s, there is more to this story than the Aussie guy is telling us.

I had roof bars and I’m carriers on mine, why not ?

, there is more to this story than the Aussie guy is telling us.

I would think that as well. Can you get ‘grey imports’ with cars?

Somehow I doubt Porsche North America would be dealing (well, mostly ignoring) with it if it was an unofficial import

P.S. Jamie, where the hell is the associated gif?? You’ve slipped since you came out as a non-mtber 😉

Ohhh bm’d for laters

a bit (lot) of social network pressure and the problem is solved again. There is now a message at the start of the original message saying they have offered the money back

I get the feeling, part of the deal to get his money back, was to say most of what’s in this video.

End bit is funny, though.

But the big question is -why?

You can barely get a bike and one floozy into one of those, so they are pretty useless. 🙂

Should have bought a Transit.

The last recited comment is a peach; glad that he had a result. FiL had a 911 that almost spent more time on a low-loader heading back to the dealership than with him driving it.

He’s lucky he got the outcome he did.

The longer you continue using the car in this situation the easier it is for the vendor to reduce the payout.

Social media pressure was his saving grace.

He sounds like Porsche North America’s legal team have put the frighteners on.

He’s a got a better sense of humour than I have! I’d have lost the plot if that was my car!

Sounds like a total nightmare and a joke of a car.

I have a friend who bought a boxster that pretty much mirrored the kind of issues this guy has had with both car and service.
