I love my 911, but I am falling out of love with Porsche: or maybe it’s just the UK dealer network.
I can’t help but think that Porsche have lost the plot in a way that genuinely disenfranchises buyers…
I want to spec and purchase a 992 GT3 Touring. It is there on the website, I can configure the car I want. I don’t mind waiting 12 to 18 months. I am very happy to pay a hefty deposit.
So why does my local Porsche dealer, in a slightly conceited way, dismiss my enquiry in a manner that Aston Martin and Ferrari don‘t?
”Sir, these are only very limited run cars"; "it is important to keep cars in the system"; "we can only reward trusted customers”; " Wr are stopping cars being flipped”.
These all sound like corporate fig leaves for a company that can’t sort out its supply chain; failed to understand the demand for computer chips and don’t have a clear customer focused strategy.
Please feel free to disagree, or tell
me I am missing the point. Or equally tell me your a dealer who wants to sell a car to a genuine buyer! But please, Porsche Dealerships, don‘t patronise me
