Re: Wow, this is one snake bit 991, more like a 70s era Jag

The really scary thing is that this car will be sold as a CPO to an unsuspecting customer.

That is the scary thing.
PCNA doesn't want to keep it and there is a huge incentive to shine it up, put it on a dealership floor and give it a CPO warranty. There will always be another buyer out there looking for a good deal on a 911.

... this final video is pretty good.
Especially the wrap-up.
I was ROTFLMAO.
Happy Porscheing,

I like this guy, Nick. He ran through the problems he had with the car. Told us what he went through and how he handled it. Then he follows up when he tells everyone that the case has been resolved to his satisfaction. I think it shows what you can achieve by staying level headed, persistent and positive.

It will be interesting to see what choice he will make. Two fair options, I think.

My first Boxster, a '99, was unfortunately a similar case, with engine problems from the first day I had it. After six weeks of flat-bedding, much dealer shop time, a new cylinder head that was also defective, etc., the dealer and PCNA told me "We want to replace your car." A week later I picked up another new Boxster -- very similar to the first one but with additional attractive options, all gratis.

For "Huschke" and me, it was the beginning of a great, 13-year ride that only ended with the purchase of my current car, an '08 Boxster S (RS 60 Spyder).

I didn't make a video, though.

He needs to learn how to pronounce Porsche.
