    Re: My experience so far.

    why upset anyone by revealing the OPC?

    Simply because, I'm a bit peeved off with them at the moment and I'm waiting to see if this ends up being a nightmare scenario. Hopefully all will be put right and I'll get my car back by tomorrow. I forgot to mention that when the car was in the other week, they covered the entire car with swirl marks when they washed it and also scraped the right hand underside of the front bumper by kerbing it. It's purely a personal thing, I just don't like naming and shaming. At least, just not yet.

    Re: My experience so far.

    i m 100% with you. Sometimes dealers are going insane, and no control from Porsche Germany.Dunno why,imagine here in Greece we only have one dealer!!!

    i ordered telephone plus CD Changer ,they told me 2000 euro
    now they say 2780 euro, because i also need some optic fibres, i gave them 500 euro advance cash and now they are playing hard on returning the advance payment ,although IMO it is their fault when they give wrong pricing.

    Don't know if the 996 lid was also made of aluminium and hence as light as the 997's.



    Nope, its only so in the 997 for weight savings.

    Re: My experience so far.

    It's not just Porsche. This seems to happen with all makes these days. Regarding your retro-fit, I'd be firm and not give in. Just keep kicking up a fuss. Eventually they'll find they can't win.

    Are you sure optics need to be added? I would have thought that most communications options i.e. BOSE, phone, CD changer, Homelink would have been pre-wired. Anyone else know?

    P.S. This is my 100th post.

    Closing of the front storage concerns me when considering how soft the light weight trunk is. For instance if you drop the trunk lid a second firm push is required.
    Was the 996 made the same?



    Yes, thats normal. Don't drop the trunk lid, just lets it set lightly for the first "click" and then push for the second "click" to completely close the lid



    Thanks Carlos

    Re: My experience so far.

    I only drop the lid from a small clearance and push gently to close. But it needs a reasonable push to click into place and is on a lower level than the bumper when closed.

    All seems a bit fragile

    Re: My experience so far.

    well they are needed indeed.
    286 euro for optics
    300 for installation!!!

    i m going mad

    It doesn't make sense to me, surely PO should have a set charges for retro fitting with the only cost difference from country to country being valid local staffing and business costs. These difference should also be transparent.
    Only one dealership in Greece is the problem.
    Make lots of noise to HQ, I only wish I knew the number to help you.
    Someone on this forum will, I'm sure.
