I was a serious out-of-state buyer for Edmond Hyundai’s 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, VIN WP1AF2AY5KDA81705. I was financed, communicating directly with the salesperson, and prepared to move forward pending 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo, VIN WP1AF2AY5KDA81705. I was financed, communicating directly with the salesperson, and prepared to move forward pending a Porsche pre-purchase inspection. The Porsche inspection materially changed the transaction. Porsche Oklahoma City documented major issues including A/C blowing hot with a leaking evaporator, coolant pump leakage, belt tensioner oil leakage, front tires at 4/32 with alignment needed, and rear brake wear. The Porsche repair estimates shown to me totaled well into five figures. When I raised these findings, the dealership minimized the Porsche inspection and suggested Porsche was just trying to make money. A sales director also pressured me by saying many other people had called on the vehicle and that it would be put back on the market if I did not buy it. My concern is not that a used vehicle had issues. My concern is that this vehicle was being actively marketed as retail-ready, and when a Porsche dealer inspection documented significant repair needs, the response was pressure and minimization rather than transparency. I chose not to proceed. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend that any buyer of a high-end used vehicle from this dealership obtain an independent manufacturer-level inspection before purchase and review all findings carefully before relying on the dealership’s used-car inspection or warranty representations.
