need urgent advice, guys:

 

placed a deposit for a Boxster but subject to "workshop evaluation. No major accident. No major engine, gearbox problem",

then suddenly they call me up say it leaked a big puddle of ATF and they have sent to a workshop which quoted $4-5K repair,

which they DO NOT wish to pay for.

 

now they say want to forget about the deal and refund me my deposit, even after I said since they have sold the car to me,

then they should be responsible to rectify the problem (under Lemon Law).

 

but they insist, car not transferred yet, so no deal, and also, they can break contract via the subject to no major gearbox problem clause.

 

so what should i do ah?

 

thanks a lot in advance.

IMO they do have a point.

Unless u really must have that car, do consider that the ATF leak may not be the only problem, albeit it's the one which is obvious now.

So imo just take back the deposit and look for another one

that's assuming there really is a bad leak and not a case of they getting a higher offer after selling to me, thus wanna break deal to make more money.

 

after agreeing to the deal, i went down to place deposit, only to discover the car being test driven by other prospective buyers...

My Mercy doesn't ride like a Mercy leh, even in Comfort. Slightly stiffer than my F430 and much stiffer than my 911. My neck and back not very happy with me.

 

Luckily the more important parts of me are happy enough to make up for it.

You ask for it mah.

you always like that ☝️

True but you ain't gotta rub it in.

 

Now excuse me while I rub it in. I mean axe oil in my poor neck and back.

Official or verbal only? If it's official, they should refund you 2x deposit for backing out. If based on words, then take back your deposit and move on lah... don't waste time.

Hi all sifus.. I am seriously contemplating a second ride. either a e92 m3 or 911 c2. either an end coe soon one.. or already renewed.

 

will like your valuable experience what choice will you make and why... paying fully by cash hence nothing about loan. things like maintenance.. frequent problems.. etc etc anything you can think of that will make your choice.

 

millions thanks

Those are two quite different cars, the only thing that is common is that both are German performance cars.

 

Would be helpful to share what you are looking for - straight line speed, handling, comfort, reliability, practicality (human seating and luggage), moddability, maintenance costs and expertise, etc. etc. etc.

 

Also, better to put this in the main Conti thread rather than in this Porsche thread. Posting it here might be taken to mean you've already more or less made up your mind.

Yeah, my kind of guy.

Anyway, for such cars, gotta to buy full cash lah.

Easier to get good deal without all that ji ji wai wai from finance company

 

Good luck in your search.

Both very different cars.

[Mb1802003]

Hi all.. thks for the replies.. I guess my main concern will be.... which one will be more problem free..

 

m3.. 911 c2s... 911 c2s pdk ...

 

previous experience with my 2 BM... was alot of weird problems which kind of put me off with BM...

 

resale value of a renewed COE M3 which is not much in the market vs the 911... just in case i renew it and 3 years after decide to let go...

 

thanks again folks

oh btw... is C2S with PDK a better option compare with the non facelift previous version? more or less problem in terms of reliability?
