Warranty uk stuffed again
Discussion
Dont you lot think it takes the piss that we here in the UK pay so much more for our cars and to rub it in America gets a 4 year warranty on any new cars and if you buy used you get a two year warranty on their products .
Now im not a fan of the EU but dont you think its time we got together and started lobbying for a better deal for UK consumers!
Porsche must be having the biggest laugh going when it comes to us Brits .............

Rip
Off
Britain
Couldn't agree more, if they can do it in the States AND have cheaper cars, why can't they do it here. Maybe another one for the PM petition site, which we know Tony diligently checks every evening (Cherie - what does this button do?)
The whole way we are treated by Porsche is a joke, in this global market why do we let them get away with it! Im fed up with how the UK car industry rips us off !!!!!
Just take a few seconds and think how bloody cheeky this is, we pay thousands more and then they have the cheek to half the warranty and to make matters worse they argue if anything goes wrong with their products if you want to make a claim !!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread should not be just looked at and then dismissed , thats the whole problem ! If you are buying new you should at least take the time and write to Porsche uk and inform them how unhappy you are that you only have a 2 year warranty , same if you are buying used with the one year warranty.
Better still vote with your feet!
That is the whole problem , we just take it and moan about it!

The US$ is very weak at the moment, that said its like anything else in life/world economics..its what the market will stand.
Porsche will shift every new car that hits the uk pre orders and dealership orders. We are victims of our own success Ime afraid to say. Even though this goverment has put the nation on the brink ( this will be very clear in the coming years)of total melt down financialy we just keep spending. Good old Gordy has hidden huge amounts of national debt, maybe 5 to 6 or more billions!! Its grim so enjoy it while you can. Just make sure your spending your money and not adding to the crisis that looms both personaly and nationaly. Trust me we WILL Implode..no doubt about it.
Ive just sold my business at 46 years old..its the right time and I have based my choice to sell on several factors. The Labour goverment being the big one!
Sorry to go off on one but truly we are in the Shit even if you dont see it yet as individuals.
On the subject of U.S. Market, Porsche are still looking to increase sales in a big way, and to do that they have to compete with other makes, thats why things are different. They would of course like to see bigger returns but have to compete to gain sales in that market place.
4 years warranty is the norm and the carrot all in one.
Good luck and enjoy while we still can.

I know this is deviating from the original topic, but I would like to know what the several factors are. What are your predictions and how did you come to your conclusions?

Its not just Porsche, they and other prestige marques will continue with these high prices in the UK until such time as market conditions dictate a change in their policy. i.e. supply & demand...not enough paying punters.
As a business owner I do entirely agree with the comments made earlier on government policy.
As a business owner I do entirely agree with the comments made earlier on government policy.Well I could turn this into a major rant about the state of the U.K. at the moment, but I will keep it simple and to the point.
The nations economy is living on borrowed time, the national debt is appx 85% of the nations wealth. Just like you and I, you have to be able to sustain the debts you incure and manage them. Its the most basic of economical rules..If you nett 30k p.a.you are going to struggle with a 2 k per month credit card bill, and so the problem goes on. This goverment has taken us to the brink of meltdown and they are lying on a daily basis about just what a mess we are in. The inept way the country has been managed and taken for a ride is nothing short of criminal, and the suckers who are going to pay for it come pay back time are not the yobs, criminals, and general wasters and I include Blair/Brown and associated crooks, but the small business man.
Well guys they aint getting it from this chap!!
I have ran my own small business (limited company) for several years through both Tory and Labour goverments, and while the tories were not perfect by a long chalk, these tossers are just on the next level.... and some.
I could go on but heah ho I have taken the best course of action.
You guys may or may not be aware that as a share holder in a limited company after two years (shareholder) you can sell your shares and incure only 10% tax liability, so a Million and you see 900 k. It will not always be like this under this goverment, they need the money!!
I have taken the money treated myself to a new 911, and set up trusts for my kids future..stuff Blair and his mates.
On a more calm note..I love my bikes and cars, I did Estoril moto gp, france Bol Dor, Spain general tour, and Australia for a month last year.
This year its Daytona bike week, March, Mexico April for three weeks, Moto gps in Bruno, Italy, Spain and U.K.
In short guys I have taken a good offer for my business at 10 per cent only to Blair/Brown, set up a trust fund with a big chunk = bog all to Blair/Brown, and as long as I dont go buying light aircraft and such like I will be ok for the next twenty years to have some fun.
I am 46 years old and I want to do the things I want to do now, not at 60 + years old. I paid for my house several years ago and have zero debts so why the hell not have some fun. I have worked myself daft for 30 years, stuck my neck out here and their so know its time to enjoy. The big fear for this goverment and indeed any future one is that a great deal of people, the people I call the "do-ers" are in a position to fold and stack their hands now..Imagine what would happen if huge numbers said, sod this I am going to enjoy my hard earned before I am an old man..or woman..CRISIS!!
So I say to all you folks who fear the unknown..press on into old age and drive you car to work everyday so that Mr Blair can buy his wife some nice pearls in Hong Knong and bring them back into the U.K. without paying any tax. No way..IME off for a drive..almost tax free!!! Good luck guys.
p.s. fear not the unknown..but the daily drudgery..life is to short

9hellheaven is totally right - this Governement is covering up a major stink. Good on you for getting out early. Look at any independent economic evidence - With consumer debt at record highs (and growing), real unemployment levels rising, Interest rates set to rise again this week, an expensive war in Iraq and a strong pound; only an idiot would believe the propaganda that comes out of Downing Street that Britain has never had it so good. Yeah right ...

I wouldn't really disagree with any of those points but the fallout might happen this year or in 5,10,20,50+ years time.
