Soddin Yankies, that explains a lot.

I also avoid all things American as far as possible.

Ever since I found out that the USA customers were given preferential treatment by Porsche with their orders, typical wait for a custom build was six weeks plus delivery where here in the UK our wait was typically 36 weeks plus delivery. They also have brand new Lot Cars, that is cars pre-configured with a certain batch or Options so the spoilt brats can drive in and drive out in a new Porsche.

Always had great service/support from Sytner. Same cant be said of Stratstone Porsche. I guess its all about how you develop your relationship with the OPC.

I should be careful where you buy your next car from then 😳 as Penske have 138 dealerships in the UK !

When it was posted here a few years ago about top up deposit to 10% at Lockdown that confirmed that all they are interested is cash and Customer Service is a low priority.

Thank goodness I have two OPC’s within 30 minutes of me who are great.

Sounds like Frank Sytner wasn't the only one with an attitude problem!
