New problem with 2010 Porsche Boxster
Bought this car CPO in November. CPO good through 2016. Saturday, Charley and I were at the dry cleaner, came back to the car after 10 minutes (max) and the battery is dead. Called Roadside Assistance who jumped us, then we took the car up to Jim Ellis for service. I've put no more than 2500 miles on the car since I got it in November.
2 days later (this evening) service guy calls and says that there's a problem with the clutch being "stiff" and that they're going to take it apart tomorrow. If it is "normal wear and tear" they will charge me, otherwise we'll discuss. Wouldn't a check of the clutch be included in a CPO instrupection? Is it possible that this guy is bullshitting me? I told him I've been driving a manual for almost 14 years (including track) and can't imagine how he thinks it was something I did. Car has total 33,800 miles on it.
I'd love your opinions/feedback.... Thanks in advance. I have a really bad feeling about my discussion with this guy.
