Christmas cards from OPC?

[fergusor]

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether OPCs send out Christmas cards or presents to customers?

I ordered my 718 Cayman in September and I don't really hear anything from my salesman. The only time I hear from him is when I go into the centre.

On Facebook I see that lots of people seem to get cards/gifts from their OPCs... perhaps I've bought my car from the wrong one!!

When I bought my first new car, an MGF back in 1997, they would always send out cards, gifts, magazines etc. I really liked that and thought something similar would happen with Porsche.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Richard.

nope, never had one or a Xmas gift. Got a small gift with each of the 4 cars I've bought over the past 4 years but nothing at Xmas. Think it must be reserved for the favoured few

Had my Christmas present from the PC today. They fitted two front tyres to the turbo, supplied by me, and N2 filled FOC.[] As a Region we get so much throughout the year from our PC I'm not bothered about personal cards or gifts at Christmas.[]

did not get a card from my local opc (Cardiff)(can't fault Cardiff though as i always get invites to car launches and events),had one from opc Tonbridge,(I bought my 981 from them 6 months ago)

That makes me feel better then, I just thought my OPC were ignoring me.

Jarmin mentioned picking up Christophorus magazine, do we not get that as Porsche owners? I was hoping to get it as part of the ownership experience.

Am am I asking too much from Porsche

 

[colski1961]

yes, you should get Christophorus through the post after you take ownership of your car. New one arrived just this morning

 

[Gazoak]

Nothing here either!

I had to subscribe to christophorus i only got 1 issue after the car purchase

I collected my new 718 cayman S PDK from Aberdeen OPC last Wednesday. I received a boxed 911RS coffee set and a pair of personal reg number plates in the hatchback ready to fit when I transfer the number over in the new year. I also had a free geo set up done during the PDI according to my preferences FOC.

No Christmas card from OPC Aberdeen, but that is not an issue for me. I'm a "Bah Humbug!" type at this time of the year.

New car looking good. I'll post a photo after storm Barbara has moved on.

I'll forgive the lack of Christmas cards over the last 16 years and 6 new Porsches if I can be promoted to the customer base allowed to buy the next Cayman GT4. ;-)

 

[Brian_Innes]

Amen to that!

I likewise missed out on the GT4 allocation with my former OPC after 3 987 Caymans. Changed the dealership to one closer to home.

I've defected to the new 4 pot Turbo CS PDK. More info will follow in due course.........

Just bought a Mercedes A45 AMG and received a christmas card from the dealer, a rain jacket that I suggested would be nice and also a M&S voucher.

We will see what customer service is like going forward never bought a Merc before.

OPC ... I`m hoping that the lack of a card will result in improved feedback to my inquiries !

Merc ... we are also first timers and unfortunately the service is the worst that I have ever encountered, thankfully there are a few decent, practical guys behind the scenes that get things done. The car though (A45 AMG) is stunning !!!

Just had an e-mail wishing me all the best and season's greetings from Sheffield Porsche Centre. ( I replied and took the opportunity to remind them of the GT4 on my next Christmas list!)

had a card from my OPC (Bristol). Excellent people.
