I empathize. It’s a serious disruption to be without the car for long periods of time over these issues.
My tolerance for driving loaners I don’t like is low.
I don’t have specific experience with Porsche extended warranty but this has been my reason for hesitation every time. I don’t trust it to come through when I need it.
Please accept my apologies, as you've now commented more than once on the sushi comment :)
I didn't mean any mean spirit by it.
If anything, I was impressed by your bravery :)
The one caution I have here: get a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that isn't invested in the sale.
I no longer trust CPO as a gold-standard, as I bought a low-mile CPO that ended up a track car at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. The expensive brakes were cooked.
It doesn’t matter. There is no reality where buffing the paint caused a battery fire.
It was either unrelated, or some induced by some other shop accident.
I have a lot of questions as this hasn’t been my experience at all.
I don’t doubt you though.
- What PPF product was used?
- Did the PPF have any inherent UV protection?
- How long before it was replaced?
- Any protection on the bare painted surfaces, ceramic or similar?
- What color was the...
I went from a 21 to a 23, then a 25.
The 21-23 jump was a very incremental upgrade, and then only because I went from base to GTS.
I'd really try for a 25 if you can, the J1.2 is a lot better.
Not at all. Take it to a Porsche dealer and ask them for a “buy bid.”
Unless they don’t want the inventory they will make you an offer. It won’t be as good as the secondary market.
