  2. Every time I interact with anyone from car dealers I assume they're greedy, not genuine, and lying outright. Am I wrong?

    So I dropped off the Taycan at Porsche Westwood (because Porsche Boston moved to Natick temporarily...) last Monday because the instrument cluster (giant screen in front of steering wheel) suddenly shut off while I was driving, and an error was thrown in the car.

    Now that kind of thing has been happening from time to time, especially more often in the winter. and it'd be back to normal after several hours. But it doesn't always throw an error. I figured the dealer wouldn't be able to do anything because it is not reproducible. This time it threw an error (like the first time it happened), so I figured I'd take it to the dealer.

    I called last Wednesday - no update.
    Called again last Friday - no update.

    Called again today before service department closed. When the service advisor (SA) answered, he said, he was just discussing with the tech, and they believe particular software update and recall would solve it. It should be ready tomorrow.

    I do tend to believe it is a software issue, because how flaky and unstable the problem is. But all open recalls for Porsche Taycan don't mention instrument cluster. There may be internal bulletins about that though.

    I didn't press him on what service bulletin or recall he was referring to on the phone. I guess I'll need to see tomorrow.

    ANYWAY I'm counting the days it stays at the dealer towards the threshold for the Massachusetts Lemon law.

    Gosh I wish I don't have to own a car.

  4. BMW has invented #screws that only their dealerships can unscrew. 🤦‍♂️🔧 Because nothing says "luxury" like being held hostage by a screwdriver. 🚗💸

  8. About 70 years ago, my family moved to Mifflintown to open a Dodge Dealership. Yesterday I photographed the remains of the building being torn down. #dodge #dodgedealer #dodgedealership #dealership #cardealer #cardealership #plymouth #mifflintown #destruction #juniatacounty

  11. So, #cars are like #printers now. Have you ever tried to get #support for a specific printer problem in the big electronics chain you bought it in?

    It's the same in the #dealership!

    "If the error is not 100% reproducible or you have a permanent light/error message, we won't help you"

    "Where is the 12V aux power outlet? Does it even have one?" - "I have no idea"

    Actually found the outlet after typing in VERY SPECIFIC search terms in the manual. 12V wasn't one of them.

  12. Wife and I have been visiting dealerships all over for 2+ months on hunt for a new #car to replace her 20-yo aging car, and I'm simply flabbergasted at the useless, lazy, disinterested, zero-motivation, zero-initiative, bureaucratic attitude at dealerships. Long gone is "ALWAYS BE CLOSING" 🤷‍♂️

  16. Man Has $227,000 “#Unstealable#Car Stolen Less Than 60 Hours After Buying It

    odditycentral.com/auto/man-has

    An #Englishman who had his #luxurySUV #stolen from his #driveway less than 60 hours after driving it home claims the #dealership assured him that the #vehicle was “unstealable”.

    John, a 45-year-old man from Warwickshire, UK, bought a £183,000 ($227,000) Range Rover 2024 SV Edition One

  17. I got two separate text messages from the same dealer saying "I have a customer that would like to buy your car".

    Riiiiiiiight.

    Let me guess; you also have a special "sales event" coming up, and you can make me an "amazing offer" on a new car.

    I am looking to sell my car (I don't want another one), but I know they'll only pay bottom dollar for it. I don't want to deal with strangers looking to buy.

    Rock -> Me -> Hard Place

  18. I've been trying to start a JDM & Kei car dealership for over two years now. In August I finally was able to sign a lease on a place that met the requirements by the state of VA to be a dealership.

    I spent all of September on weekends and afternoons setting up and building out the space to meet those requirements.

    This is what it cost to get me to where I am now which is still without a dealership license but very close to completion.
