Asked my SA specifically about this. He told me it wouldn't work in my car. It's in my thread.

Maybe it's because I have the most povertiest of HU's and the fact that I don't even have a sharkfin antenna, which I'm told is needed for the compass to work?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 2:01 amIt also lists the GTI and Golf Alltrack when I open the link.
Methinks the SA needs a reboot.

The windshield in the vette might be sloped steeper than Porsches, which reduces glare. My car had a black dash, but I still got very little reflection. The Rubbermaid dash is also curved/sloped everywhere, so the reflection can't be that bad. Many Porsche upper dashes are pretty flat or have elements that love to catch the sun.

Reimbursed for up to $200 towards sunglasses, IIRC.Apex wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 11:25 amWasn’t there a class action suite against Porsche for this and they gave the owners sunglasses?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 10:32 am

Need allowance for premium watches to offset the pain also. And perhaps a headscarf for the misses.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 12:47 pm

The story does seem to be true.
It does sound disappointing. Is that the weird fire issue they had ? You spend 200k on a car with a defective motor. and it will never be “factory fresh” again. 35k sounds like a more reasonable amount IMO. Given the price point[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 2:42 pmI mean, I just saw someone post on one of the Porsche forums that getting his ENTIRE engine replaced in his 991 GT3 within 30 days of the initial complaint, a $3500 check back, and a 2 year warranty extension... and it was a "disappointing" resolution.
Because a GT3 is not a civic, it is a fairly rare super enthusiast oriented performance machine.
$3,500 probably is low. A GT3 with a replacement engine isn’t going to be worth as much as one with the original, and the difference is probably more than $3,500. Maybe $10k? $35k seems way too much to me.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 2:58 pmNo, just engine failure - stalled after a hard acceleration and wouldn't restart. Engine fires were the 991.1 GT3s.
$35k is a ridiculous ask, IMO.
Perhaps the $3500 is a bit low, but I don't think it's totally unreasonable.
That is my view, but it's also more than I can afford, pal.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 5:26 pmYeah, see... bottom line is, it's just a car. An expensive one at that, but it's a car, and a brand new one with a warranty. The warranty is there to take care of any issues that may arise in an initial ownership period. And the brand is there to make sure things go smoothly.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 4:33 pm

You pay around 1/4 million dollars for one IF you can even get one, since that is not even guaranteed. And having a fubared engine from the start kills the value of the car and the entire vibe.
If my taco popped a motor I would never buy another. I’m sure the GT3 owners aren’t exactly thrilled to have their prized possessions split in 1/2 by American infidels vs Aryan factory angels.
Also since that demographic usually makes a bit of money that 250k that is sunk in the vehicle would likely generate far in excess of $3500 for them while the repair is performed. They bought an expensive product that can not be used. And it’s not like there will be a GT3 loaner it will be some pos macan with a 2.0 from a gti, vs a 3.8/4.0 NA beast made from unicorn tears
What I do want is for the repair experience to go smoothly. I want the thing I bought to be fixed by a trained professional, which this car was. And I'd want a loaner vehicle of the same brand, which I'm sure he received. Anything beyond that is just gravy to me, unless I had other things tied up in the whole experience (2000 miles away from home, traveling, etc.), or if the repair took longer than is considered reasonable. Then I'd want additional compensation because it's become more than just getting a car fixed. But that's situational.
Once again in a civic it would make sense. In a limited production collectible and highly desirable Porsche ... just a different demographic and way of life.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 6:31 pmThat is my view, but it's also more than I can afford, pal.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 5:26 pm

Very few cars will lose an engine, but it's possible in any car. Max's point re: lost value I guess is valid, but I feel like $3500 is pretty generous when I would go into that expecting $0.
Do people really GAF about numbers matching? I mean, you got a new engine with less miles on it.

Like you go to an Apple bees and are happy if no one spat in your food and that it comes out warm. The expectation of French laundry is a bit different. And yes both are “just food”z
I would be upset if I took my GT3 in for that work and they put in a base Carrera engine. It's still a GT3 after the replacement Agree to disagree I guess. Porsche seems to think it's worth $3500 and they get the last laugh.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 6:45 pmOnce again in a civic it would make sense.
