Taycan buy backs.

[Jonathan S.]

I did not arbitrate for $600. I took the position that Porsche charged me $1800 for a charger that was defective and mis represented the capabilities of the car. I cannot disclose the outcome due NDA but i was very satisfied with the outcome.

Ah, okay, if I had paid extra for EVSE that supposedly had extra capabilities yet could achieve the basic capability of charging, then I too would be tempted to take legal action!

For sure get an attorney. The manufacturer pays for the attorneys time.
Porsche is one of the more difficult OEMs to deal with

have reach an agreement for my buyback and am waiting for further directions. You are welcome to contact me directly for additional information. My car had been in the shop repetitively since new for a total of 87 days for a few minor issues that they just can't remedy. A few of these are.

1). Key Recognition.
2). A/C shuts off while driving.
3). PCM goes dark or stops working.
4). Doors will not stay locked when exiting.
5). Doors will lock/unlock when existing, sometimes 3 or 4 times.
6). Rear hatch issues, will not close.

These are all spontanious, they will not always occur and sometimes they remedy themselves for a while and return a month or two later. I was not comfortable owning this car out of warrant with all of this going on and honestly am sick and tired of having the car in service while driving a 4 cylinder Macan. I hate driving the loaner Macans, this gets old.

Sorry to hear about all of the problems with your Taycan. It certainly sounds like you deserved a buy-back. It sounds like you got a lemon.

And thanks for the comment about Macan loaners. I just had my first for the brake-hose recall and a bad rear speaker. The Macan driving experience fully sucked.

How does a buyback work with a lease? Or is this considered a lemon?

While my ownership has been somewhat trouble-free, I wonder if it's just me assuming the worst from auto manufacturers and taking the suck as par for the course.

I've had the heater, battery, and brake line recalls performed. Additionally, my suspension was squeaky which resulted in Porsche replacing the rear shocks and struts as a warranty claim.

Currently my windows will randomly not roll up/roll up really slow.

What's the threshold for this is reasonable and the manufacturer is doing everything to mitigate it versus may this thing is a lemon/needs to be bought back?

Same process. You get all the money you put up front, registration, all your monthly payments you paid

If someone did successfully receive a buyback offer (not a trade for another car), I doubt you will hear about. Porsche routinely uses NDA's.

^^^ Yes. I got money from Audi once for extended warranty issues, and part of the agreement was a strict NDA (I'm past the term limit of the NDA at this point).

Interesting. I did a 40k one time lease pay for 24 months.

What's the threshold of it being cutting edge janky things vs the manufacturer fucking up?

You get your $40k back, plus the 2nd year registration.

You're in CA which has the best protections. 3x for the same problem, or 30 days in the shop or catastrophic failure, like your car just stops on the middle of the freeway .

It could be very simple things that you had to repair 3x

I see, thanks. I don't think there's anything critical like that. It's just recall after recall but Porsche *does* eventually fix it.

I guess what the thread is debating is _whether_ frequent recalls that don't get resolved in a timely manner qualifies for a buyback. Porsche will argue it doesn't.
