So I have no idea how this expensive car wreck got resolved, but here is the story…

This is from a discussion from a year back, but it’s interesting how this customer got treated after the dealer wrecked his very nice Porsche 996 on a test drive.

This is a discussion on a board started by the owner of the porsche

I brought my ‘03 996 cab to the dealer for minor warranty work. On a road test, the tech got into an accident in my car. The impact was to the front right portion of the car. Headlamp assembly, hood,bumper, fender, door, radiators, wheel well plastics, wires, hoses, etc. It looks like at least $10,000 in repairs. My car has approx. 16,000 miles and was perfect in all ways before the wreck. What should I do???? I would think that it’s not too much for me to ask them to buy my car for at least the market value just before the wreck. What do you think?

Supposedly, the tech driving my car was making a left hand turn against 2 lanes of traffic. From what he said, he was motioned by the driver of the oncoming car closest to him, to make his dangerous turn, and never saw the other car coming in the other lane, which resulted in the accident. The tech was ticketed for the accident

OK, wrecks happen. They just do, but the way a dealership deals with someone is what we are talking about here. I could attempt to wax poetic regarding what jerks they are being but, instead read some of these quotes for yourself, from the owner of the car:

After today’s meeting with 3 of the dealerships manager’s, I don’t feel any better about the situation. I told them what I wanted and they told me what they want to do for me. Basically, repair the car and give it back to me. I absolutely refused that suggestion and demanded to be made “whole”. Apparently, no one in the meeting had any authority to deal with me. I allowed them to get an estimate from their body shop. And am awaiting a phone call back from the “real” GM. I will keep you informed….

But this is when the dealership just get’s stupid.

Man goes 76 years without an accident just to get into a great one at the age of 93.

Seems that feeling that you gotta try everything al least once, Mr. Higgs took out 2 showroom porches with his little compact car.

Mr Higgs, a retired Pentecostal minister, was parking next to a Porsche showroom when his car shot backwards.

First, his 13-year-old hatchback hit a gleaming red Carrera II which acted as a ramp, causing Mr Higgs’s car to flip over on to a silver Porsche 911 parked alongside.

If you are going to have an accident after 76 years of incident-free motoring, you might as well do it in style - though that was the last thing on Jack Higgs’s mind as he hurtled towards two Porsches.

Staff in the showroom ran outside to be confronted by a scene of wreckage and Mr Higgs hanging upside down by his seatbelt in his overturned car.
