Default Ken Gorin's # @ The Collection

If anyone would like to express their feelings about my situation to Mr. Gorin, his # is 305-476-2004. His assistant's name is Linda.

This is hilarious but I sure hope there isn't another side to this story.

Wouldn't it be horrible if Mr. Gorin was signed up for everything under the sun? How terrible would it be if someone were to post an ad in the local coral gables newspaper with a very underpriced item that would garner alot of calls. I'm glad noone here would do that.

Personally I dont see why anyone in a position like his would sign up for things at playboy.com or other sites like that.

Default Believe it or not, it's true

Believe me when I tell you I have not posted anything about what has taken place @ The Collection regarding my 996 that is not true.

From those photographs, Mr Gorin appears to have a pedophilic taste. I guess he's under the illusion that he is still 18 and full of life.

OP, sorry about your story. I would try to have them buy it back for KBB or edmunds rated value + any extra options. I'd be wary of a trade-in since you don't know the history of the 'new' car - especially when it's coming from them !! The known devil is better than the unknown devil.

Then I'd take that money and shop ELSEWHERE for another Porsche. Perfect time for an upgrade perhaps ?

Get legal council too. And most importantly, please chill. It's just a car and granted it's $$$ too. But you'll get out of it, so don't stress too much. Life is far too nice to let these things really 'get' to you. You'll do a great job handling this with a cool, calm mind. 'nuff of 'advice' !!

Cheers!

I can't believe someone would do something like this:

You have inspired me.. Im starting a website called auto dealer complaints dot com. it will be up tomorrow. Im soo tired of hearing about this stuff, so lets do something about it.

I have my IT department putting it up now. I have about 4 cases so far to post up in the last few weeks.

This is all funny, but gittledog loses the high ground if people start a campaign of harassment. I strongly recommend everyone discontinue the craigslist/magazine subscription/ad hominem stuff.

The dealership seems to have acted badly. Don't do anything that makes them seem like the victim.

agreed. Thats why Im putting up a "BBB/consumer complaint " type of site that has some credibilty and can be a more formal process.
