When it rains, it pours.
So after several "so called" tests, and test drives, it was found that there is nothing wrong with the way the vehicle drives. It was determined by (apparently Porsche and my so called "service dept.") that it was a computer problem and that it would be replaced. One week later, the engine light reemerges and the dealer decided to re-administer their "tests," only to tell me (after I had to call them repeatedly; not like they would pick up the phone and notify me) that the engine must now be replaced.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I do not want this car with a new engine. It is simply not the vehicle that I purchased, and it will never be the same again. The depreciation value of the car will be enormous. How could I trade in a car who's chasis, axles, and everything else has traveled roughly 20,000 miles with an engine that has traveled ZERO miles? Unacceptable, and I refuse to take this car back. I feel as if the "magic and happiness" I felt to finally own and drive a Porsche has gone.
I have notified my dealer of what I think of the situation. Tomorrow, I will meet with them and discuss the issue further. I will keep you guys posted.
If anyone has any experience with an issue like this one or similar, I urge to share your insight.
