  1. I thought the reason for these forums was to make the Porsche community more in touch with fellow enthusiasts. If someone has a bad experience or a good one everyone should know. That is the beauty of the internet. Chuck Jones: Mr. Gorin said that I was acting like his 15 year old daughter.
  2. I thought you all might be interested in what has happened to me in the past few days. I brought my 2003 Porsche 996 Cabriolet w/ 16,000 miles in for minor warranty work to The Collection. The car was flat-bedded there. On 4/27/07 I received a phone call from The Collection telling me that my car was involved in an accident while out on a test drive. The tech that was driving my car got ticketed for the accident. He failed to yield the right of way against 2 lanes of oncoming traffic while making a left hand turn. The damage to the car is roughly 10k. When I finally got to speak with the owner of The Collection, He told me that I was acting like his 15 yr. old daughter. All I want is to be made whole. I don't want to have to wait for the car to be repaired to then talk to him about a possible trade-in. That's what he suggested. I told him that I want him to buy my car for the market value just before the accident. Then I would buy another Porsche, not neccessarily from The Collection. I am awaiting counsels advice before this goes any further. Be wary of The Collection.....
  3. My car was certified by Porsche before i bought it. Does it help me that it was certified?
  4. What warranty comes with the new motor? I still have 9 month's left on my original factory warranty.
  5. As I understand it, the factory updated things along the way that they found to be problematic. I think Loren or Toolpants can provide a detailed list of the changes made through the years but I understand them to include bearing changes, changes to the intermediate shaft (a known problem in older cars) and other things Porsche identified in the intervening years. Nothing performance oriented but more service/durability issues. Sounds good.
  6. I posted earlier about a noise coming from my engine or transmission. Just got off the phone with the dealer. I was told that Porsche just gave them authorization to give me a new motor. My car is an '03 996 Cab, Tiptronic. I just purchased the car from a dealer in Tenn. 2 month's ago. What do they mean when they say an new motor. They told me at will be an '06 motor.
  7. hard to help without further description of "noise". let us know what happens at dealer-warranty? Sounds like someone dropped a bucket of bolts into my engine or transmission I had the car towed to the dealership. Waiting to hear how bad it is...

  9. I just bought a certified '03 996 Tiptronic w/ 11,000 miles. Today I was cruising down the road at about 60 and heard a terrible noise from the transmission. I had the car towed to the dealership. Has anyone experienced this problem. Sounds really bad.
