This was their third attempt at fixing it. Now, after escalating to Porsche UK and the Dealer Principal, they assigned a "golden mechanic" to this case. He drove with me for a few miles listening (largely to my moans about my "experience" with the car". In the end it got fixed somehow. They had...

yeah... I wonder what we are going to celebrate next :) Brake hoses mailed to your house, so that you can change it yourself without a visit to a dealer :idea:

maybe the real qualifier is that you must have a "problem", i.e. the failure? :-)

Ha. That’s another thing. The Porsche “machine” smugly told me that no consumer protection applies to me because the car was bought in the name of the company. They were very proud…

Well, I agree many problems were from the centre. But Porsche assistance smashing the car and breakdowns is the brand. My problem with the doctor is that he is completely unfazed by a lame dealer trashing his brand. Yeah, all proofs are in writing, were submitted to Porsche UK when the dealer...

well, his "team" sent it all back to Porsche UK and the dealer I complained about. After a lot of denial and half-truths by the dealer, Porsche UK coughed up the royal £800 in Porsche shop voucher for my "troubles". Doctor Blume (well, his secretary) made it very clear this was not his...

I have been hesitant about posting about my experience with the brand - have been vacillating if maybe my expectations were too high and expected too much... I probably did - and that is the reason I thought I'd share my Taycan journey (which has now come to an end) so that you guys know what to...

BIK at 2% is more or less compensated by the insurance tax expense, so my theory was it didn’t matter that I pay BIK on the new value because insurance costs don’t go down with depreciation. Not a perfect theory but worked for me

There’s absolutely no reason to overpay Porsche glitz. They will wash their hands as soon as you are out of the door. Instead you can go privately or with that other dealer. Just ask them to get 111-point check as a prerequisite for the deal. Porsche approved warranty is £3k for 3 years, which...

Hi Paul, of course they are keen because they know no one will buy this car (without a discount). You just need to be mindful that it will be very difficult to get this car off your hands even if you drop the price a lot. Ask them for £10k off.

I wonder what makes a turbo such a gazler compared to 4s… yes it’s a little more powerful but both weigh the same and battery capacity is identical… my typical full tank range was 230 (admittedly without hypermiling)

I am so glad having sold mine… now I can be a mere spectator ? the attitude of the dealer and the way Porsche dealt with my issues were the last straw that broke the camel’s back…

Look what you can buy for just 10K more https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202408072624614

it would have been... but they did tick the performance plus battery. otherwise, it would have been a clear winner of a contest of tightness

It's a very spartan car, which is reflected in its price. I would not buy it whilst the colour is indeed beautiful. If you are budget constrained, look at private sales on autotrader, they have absolute bargains - I am sure it is possible to do car loan/pcp/whatever with a 3rd party. Some cars...

Trust my experience. It is the worst financial decision in your life. Well getting married might beat it.

I'd hazard a guess they are from Porsche Retail Group "family". It is a silly and unreasonable process they follow, in case, for example, the find some wire was cut by someone or some other damage. It is most likely going to be fine for you, but the way they word this and how ferociously make...

I had a couple of no-fault issues (not with a porsche though) - and both times I just rung the insurance company of the 3rd party directly, who were only too eager to please to prevent me from going to a claims company that is designed to milk them out of money. Last time they even gave me £100...

I cannot remember what a child lock button does - I would try this.

I would absolutely not. The Porsche ecosystem is rotten on all levels - and I have had it all in 10 months of privilege of owning this car: from endless recalls (bad engineering), breakdowns (craftmanship, attitude to reliability), clueless and borderline negligent dealer (arrogant but hopeless...
