I ran across this on google+.
Spread the word.

Ha ha man that sucks

Wow... I actually feel for this guy... You can tell he feels terrible for spending all that money only to get a POS...

Best of luck to him, but Por... German cars are all made shittily

lemon + bad dealership = pita

That did escalate quickly. First video posted on the 15th, second on the 18th. Glad he was able to get it resolved.
The comments he read at the end:

This has gone around a lot. I was particularly amused how a very popular BMW forum made fun of Porsche quality. Wait...what? HPFP and wastegate rattle recall people?

The 991 is new and his car seems to have more then a few issues. He certainly appears relatively level headed in the videos but we have *no* context on how the other side of the conversations went. Was he the same fellow or a complete arse? No idea.

I fully agree it should have been a lemon if all those things were going wrong. I applaud his sense of humor about the comments. I would laugh too if I had a new 911 coming. Heh.

Every car has some winners and losers. Porsche for the most part have pretty good reliability. Yes when it goes wrong its not as cheap as our Zs. Check out the track records of 987 and 997 cars, not too shabby.

You can't kill an air-cooled 911. The 996 non-turbo had IMS issues. Now they're buying back GT3s for fire issues. They're one of the more reliable German cars, but they're not without fault.

Haven't had any problems with my 991. Couldn't be happier with it. Glad PCNA is going to replace it for him.
