I think just getting the full purchase price back after 9 months of use would more than compensate for the loss of a few hundred quid on Gap insurance. I'd take it and run anyway if offered that deal! The depreciation alone would be many thousands and I would expect the dealership will try to claw some of that loss back in any deal they offer you. I'd expect offering to buy the car back with some deduction for usage will be their starting point. It probably helps that you want to get into another Porsche rather than walk away, so hopefully they can make a sensible trade into your preferred 911.On-Track wrote: ↑Fri Dec 21, 2018 10:31 am
Unfortunately the "extras" like Gap Insurance are not likely to be covered under the SoG Act but you might get something from the dealer as "compensation". Given how much you paid for your car, none of the alternatives you are looking at match getting your original purchase price back.
When they play the depreciation card, you can counter by saying that you would never have considered trading the car so early because of the first year hit in depreciation and you are only doing it because of the faults. Then it comes down to reaching a sensible compromise on the value of your 9 months usage or standing your ground and being prepared to take legal action. But they won't want that hassle either if it can be avoided, especially if they want to keep you as a customer.
