I just heard a story from a local guy who ordered a custom build Porsche, put down a sizeable deposit, waited six months, and then got the call that it was in at the dealership. When he went down there the next day to do the paperwork, they told him somebody that morning made them a cash offer and so they sold the car out from under him.

- technothrasher 5y agoThe guy told me this story as a way of warning me against ordered a car from this particular dealer. Problem is, the other Porsche dealer in the area I have heard different but just as terrible stories about. One was that they are selling cars as new that had already been put "in service" months ago, so if you bought from them without checking, you wouldn't get your full warranty period. I've had plenty of terrible experiences with pretty much all local dealers I've dealt with, Audi, BMW, Ford, VW... dealers can get away with being terrible because they all are and there's nowhere to go.
