718 Finance exit options
Discussion
Hi Guys,
I've had a 718 Boxster on a 3 year PCP for nigh on two years and there have been a few problems.
Around a month ago the EGR valve failed and the PDK had a wobble with the reverse gear not being available for selection
No problem, it's under warranty so I called out the AA and they did a tow to the dealer where they identified the EGR issue and replaced it under warranty and advised that the PDK was basically fed bad info from the turbo and disabled itself so no problem.
This weekend I'm heading down the M6 for a wedding and the PDK fails again, only this time it's every gear other than 5th that's not selectable.
So again I get a tow to the local dealer and they are now saying that the gearbox is faulty and needs replacing, it's under warranty but there is a one-month delay in getting the parts.
At this stage I don't care about the car, I've lost confidence in it. Once happens, twice there is a problem.
What should Porsche be offering at this stage and what are my best options for getting out of the PCP (I'm about £5k to the good) without it hitting me badly financially?

thanks for the advice guys.
I'm currently in an Audi Q2 loaner while they try to source the part.
Talking to the service guy it appears it's an array of solenoids that change the gears as per the ECU demands that is the problem but the particular part is difficult to get hold of.
I'll see what the outcome is but I can't think if a single car currently available that does what the Boxster does in the way that it does it at that price point.
