And I thought I had problems with cars

Post by Donovan » Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:36 pm

One of my customer's just recently told me about a wee issue that he is having with a 911 Porsche he brought in from the UK.

Pretty much bought it on the basis of having a clean bill of health given to it by a Porsche dealership over there, landed it here, and it seems the only thing holding the car together was the rust and newspaper stuffed in the holes where there should have been metal.

Have a read of the post if your inclined

Holy..... That's insane. Wonder how much it's cost him so far?

A lot more than what it would have just buying one in NZ.

I will never buy a car from the UK now... The salted roads look lethal to cars
