Stop using vehicle recall on center locking 992s

My dealer is OPC reading. I think they are sending technicians to local clients, but using proofs he recovery to bring cars in from further afield. Still no news on any compensation package

Yeah I thought they were going to announce the compensation package this week??
 
Porsche curtesy car arrived from the dealer today at least. No update on timescales or compensation package.
 
I’ve just spoken with PGB and apparently the package has been agreed and there’s a briefing Monday AM and they’ll then be contacting customers. But they don’t expect recall work to be this side of Xmas.

As an aside for anyone who has their car on with PFS have you spoken to them about getting finance payments refunded? I’m no lawyer but I have a contract with them to provide a car and currently they don’t provide a car that’s fit for purpose. I spoken to them and the first guy said yes the payment will be refunded and then the next guy ran away from that commitment as soon as he could and said it was PGB problem. Speak to PGB and they say it’s PFS problem. Not very joined up I have to say.
 
Missed a call from my OPC who left a voicemail saying that had now received the package details, will find out Monday. Another week of a lovely 992 turbo sat on the drive…l
 
Mine’s currently the most expensive ornament I’ve ever bought! Local dealer have been brilliant and put me in a Macan while more details come out. But still guts me every time I have to walk past my 911.
 
Had the guy from my OPC come this morning to take the pictures. He's 99% sure mine are part of the affected batch. Now just need to see what package Porsche are going to offer.
 
compensation package is £1k per month, unless they provide an equivalent car (911) then it drops in month 2 and 3 if you car is one of those impacted / needing replacement parts, to reflect they have provided the car. It seems to vary if you have finance, suspect Porsche finance rather than wider, which doesn’t seem fair. Seems on the low side to me given inconvenience

Where did you hear this? £1k per month is an insult, especially given how much these cars depreciate per month. At the very minimum, Porsche need to cover depreciation costs, storage costs and some goodwill for inconvenience.

The chap that came today seemed to think that the compensation package wouldn’t be affected if you have or haven’t had a loan car, as those are coming from the dealers, not Porsche UK. Regardless, I don’t know of anyone with an equivalent car, it’s mostly Macans or Enterprise rentals, so it’s irrelevant.
 
Direct from my OPC. i Also have a Macan provided, the offer is they swap for a 911 for a lower amount. I agree it’s a low offer And interested to see how this varies if you have finance on the car.
 
If that’s what they’re really offering, we need to all reject unanimously and get some proper legal advice.

I don’t imagine for a second that Porsche US would insult their customers with such a daft offer.
