Chris shares the same sentiment that a lot of people have experienced. Porsche dealers sometimes treat buyers poorly. They really need to improve on this.

Some have been lucky but like you, most of us have gone through a very frustrating experience with Porsche during the last couple of years. Going about their business without crisis communication was shortsighted and I believe threatened the image of the company. They didn't ensure "tranparency", show any empathy or involve their employees to represent Porsche in an authentic way. I've vented a few times on this Forum and wrote that even if the GM didn't know what's coming to him, I thought it would be good practice to let me know how many cars he's getting and for which models. Instead, everything seemed very secretive.My experience with Porsche as a relatively new customer (2 Macans since 2020) has been frustrating. Yes, there are extenuating circumstances in the world right now causing supply issues. That’s still no excuse for the games the dealerships are playing and they deserve to be called out publicly for it. Honesty and integrity ought to be fundamental priorities for a premium brand whether it be cars, jewellery, electronics, etc. I expected more from Porsche but perhaps my expectations were too high. Other brands have at least made an attempt to discourage car flipping and are honest regarding distribution of allocations.
He did stated it was not enough room, financially, and emotionally to keep the car. I would not have thought about finances. Has he not mentioned it. Look these cars are not cheap. It’s very easy to get nervous after purchase if the tide turns and bills start climbing. Sometimes expenses are unexpected. A car is part of one’s personal life and perhaps he has more things going on beside his cars. Either way he most definitely has the right to sell the car and enjoy his life.He’s definitely venting in his recent post but I didn‘t get the impression that money was the main issue. I hope he gives more details as to what really soured the new car deal. His reputation is one of speaking his mind.

Back to happier times and enjoying cars. 😄 He really loved his 991 “yellow banana” so the incoming 992 had big shoes to fill. This is a great review. The car is well used and obviously cherished.
Of course he has the right to sell his car but I have a feeling that NOT getting the GT4 RS he wanted was a big factor in his decision. He believes that Porsche was "rude" with him and he's pissed! Well, join the club of all those disgruntled customers still waiting for their first (or second, or third) 911!He did stated it was not enough room, financially, and emotionally to keep the car.

Welcome to the forum @obsorbed! I agree, some dealers can be hit in miss in how they deal with customers. Which spec is your 911?Chris shares the same sentiment that a lot of people have experienced. Porsche dealers sometimes treat buyers poorly. They really need to improve on this.
