I was intially responding to a blown engine issue, but it make me think, so I had to post this, in good faith to all faithful Porsche owners, whether Boxster or Carrera or otherwise:
About the blown engine and replacement issue posted by another member: okay, I'll admit that I feel that I did well with my purchase, and I did have all of my work done with the dealer, whether covered under warranty or not, but I really think Porsche must step up to the plate and cover these issues, (blown engine, RMS, etc.) regardless of age of vehicle or miles (and ten years coverage seems fair). I have not had a blown engine, luckily, but I did have an RMS problem. But again, blown engines and RMS leaks, through no fault of the driver, is unfair business practice.
Again, I think about the issues that are faced with buying a Porsche and maintaining it, and I'm glad that I didn't pay over $80,000 and beyond for this type of car, but at some point, a line must be drawn in the sand, like class action lawsuit. I think the only reason why people don't unite is because many people do have money and say "just fix it." Am I right? I'm just saying, they will nickel and dime you because of the image of owning the car. But if people stood up and said "Hey! what the...!" then there would be response.
We are a forum that discusses issues that can and do cost us great amounts of money, myself included. We should petition Porsche based on our power of buying or not buying their latest cars.
But it takes those that have money as well: don't agree just to agree, question their billing, don't accept "it's around $3000 or $15,000." Honestly, I've owned my 2001 Boxster for four years now and I did pay the prices for all, I can go on, but I gladly accepted it because they are the dealer and they are supposed to know their stuff...so why milk us for every penny? Fair is fair, image is everything, to a point, but principle of the exchange of money is paramount.
Right now, my car is running fine, but I know the plight of those who have this car and find that personal service and satisfaction has become a facade. If everyone complained, on a sheet of paper (maybe here) about the issues they face (and we don't know how widespread any issue is), but even if we did, we could forward that to Porsche and tell them that we mean business as the consumer, who buys and attributes trust to their cars.
I would like any thoughts on this
P.S. this post is not attributed to any one poster, nor is it implied by any one consumer. Additionally, this is not a "flame" to denigrate Porsche's implied consent of warrantability, such that the seller maintains above and beyond standard of care in selling such and warranting such vehicles that are defective as per any warranty of purpose and reasonable usage and care upon the vehicle.
We really want to help Porsche owners to truly "enjoy their car" as they say after work is done. The question is: "Can we?"
