Bought Porsche

I bought Porsche for just a few days and very unfortunately within a few days the car couldn't start. The dealer ask me to send the vehicle to O****a W**kz. After leaving the cars there for few days they still can't tell me what's wrong. After repeated followups, the car end up in the shop for around a month and couldn't tell me what's wrong. End up I pay an adoption fee in agent and surprisingly the car was done in a day, which is only a fuse problem. I didn't understand why the company was not able to solve my case. No matter how big a garage may look sometimes looks can deceiving.

I don't get what you are talking about, this looks like utter rubbish, I don't even believe you are a person.

I know this workshop: "O****a W**kz"

This is also the practice for PI cars in SG: "adoption fee in agent"

What does that exactly mean though? Just in the context of what I read, it sounds like a bribe to get them to fix your car?

cars wasn't sold to the end user by the official AD so they won't touch it unless you pay them that fee.

if you bought your porsche from an overseas AD (with proper ownership registration done) and imported it into singapore, stuttgart will (have to) service it without this fee.

used to be cheap, but the fee has been rising in the past years...

FYI... legally the used car dealer ought to have covered the fuse - you just had to go to the right work shop to get the car properly checked out.

the dash looks like it's from a 991... point 1.

if the 996 and 997s were anything to go by, i can only recommend a point 2...

(actually... just get the GT3!!!)

Porsche recalled all 785 2014 GT3s on the road last month for an unexplained problem that could cause the engine to catch fire. The company told owners to stop driving the cars immediately.

oh yes, i forgot about that.

i'm happy with a 997.2 TT i guess... although a 993 would really be my preferred choice.

What are they going to do with 785 used engines?

My guess is they're not swapping the engine but just a small component.

911s are very expensive VW beetles

Google says "replace". E.g.:

Porsche did not say how much it will cost to replace the 785 engines. The new engines will have "optimized fasteners," the company said.

It is probably not that expensive with this sort of brand even if trashed (recycled on material level). Materials, manufacturing and assembly costs to the end product value must be much lower than in case of low/middle class cars.
