World's Worst Ferrari Customer

[@richardclegg5853]

Sort of flipside story I'd like to share. I'm a 60 year old construction worker who gave up on my dream of ever owning a 911 40 years ago the day I first strapped on my tool belt. Thankfully, the PORSCHE elites helped guys like me afford perfectly good 996's. I was lucky to find and buy a very low mileage 1999 model a few years ago from the biggest, baddest PORSCHE dealer in the Charlotte, NC (locals can figure it out). I was so intimidated the first time I walked through the door in my working blues and muddy boots while they were closing $200,000 deals with dentists likely paying cash. But let me tell you, 2 years later, I literally still get choked up remembering the way I was treated, you'd think I was picking up a new GT2!!! I was and still am blown away by that experience. Doesnt end there, cars great but did end up having a bad water pump (if I remember right) within the first month or so. They had zero contractual responsibility to do a damn thing for me, this was a $25,000 car in a sea of $200,000+ cars, none of which they knew I would ever be back to buy. Still, replaced the pump, no labor, pump at cost. Now to today, a few months ago l got a new set of tires at one of those discount places, good folks, did me right but lost the damn locking lug key. Only good solution was the PORSCHE dealer who MIGHT have the the right key. Went there this morning, place was jammed but you'd think l was there to pick up that new GT2, told em my problem, had me pull in my lowly 996 IMMEDIETLY, no wait at all, service manager practically ran for the kit, popped off the locks which l tossed in the trash, sold me a set of "lockless" standard lugs at a reasonable price (reasonable price and PORSCHE rarely show up in the same story) installed and properly torqued em, l was on my way in 15 minutes tops... In that 15 minutes, no less than 3 other people asked me if I was being helped... I've been buying mostly new cars my entire life, NEVER been treated like this. You hear all the stories how these boutique, high end dealers treat their customers, like we're there to serve them, not PORSCHE, at least not this dealership. I'm telling ya, if l ever get locked up in some foreign prison in a 3rd world country, I'm not calling a friend or family, I'm calling my local PORSCHE dealer!!! The thought I keep having, these people all know I will NEVER be a "good" customer, I dont think they've ever even taken in a 996 since they were new 20+ years ago, but still, they treat every customer the same, so impressed and so glad I finally walked through those doors I'd been driving by for the past 20 years...

A customer has 2 values - the money they can pay you and the exposure they can give to your business. Your dealer understands the power of building a reputation with great service.

If your a dirty or neat they know. They know what you eat for lunch were you get it from. What your interests are maybe who your family is. They go were you never will. If wealthy best treat and pay them well. They can punish you in ways you will never be aware of.

It's fairly indisputable that many people (not all) treat service workers as if they are servants, and treating people like that is deplorable regardless of what service they provide.

I mean I know this guy is an idiot and a clown, but the IRS shouldn't be taking "restitution" from anybody. I understand paying the "back taxes"...fine whatever. But them just deciding they want some extra millions on top of that should be concerning to everybody. This guy being a d-bag doesn't make the IRS excusable here is all I'm saying.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

[@jdmmike7225]

I had kind of a similar experience. It was on anything as crazy as a beautiful 599 GTB, one of the only Ferrari's I enjoy looking at I might add. Im part owner of a small shop here in CT that specializes in rotary engines and rotary powered vehicles for the most part, though we have dabbled in numerous other makes. A clearly extremely wealthy man showed up one day in 2016. He was driving a fairly modified Solar Yellow Lotus Esprit 3.5 Twin Turbo. He said he wanted a Mazda RX-3 because when he was a kid his father had owned one but he wanted it to drive more like a normal modern car, so a restomod if you will. I connected with this as my late father had a 1986 RX-7 TURBO II that he actually drove me home from Bridgeport Hospital in when I was born in '87 & that has been a part of my life ever since, but he did seem a little odd. I put it off to just me being over critical. So we found a decent example in Virginia for a reasonable price & he wired us enough money to buy the car & get started on the build. So for the next 14 months or so we built what I still to this day consider one of the cleanest and nastiest street RX-3's around. It had a semi peripheral port S6 13B making around 450hp & all the modifications necessary to handle that kind of power. We were sending him regular photos and videos of the build and he would point out how he wanted things & we would continue to his spec. Right as we were putting the finishing touches on the vehicle all of a sudden he calls and completely blows a gasket about some rather minor & easily changeable details. At this point I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this guy. So once the vehicle was up and running and I had put a few miles on it to make sure everything was sorted I called him to say your vehicle is ready to be picked up, come & get it & settle up the bill. He gave me some story about needing to get the funds & needed a little time. This didn't sit right with me as everything I had seen from this guy from his Rolex's to the Lotus to his attire screamed wealthy D-bag. Again I put it to the back of my mind & just say, hey I get to drive this awesome car a little bit more. Then silence. For 6 months we can not reach him & he will not return our phone calls or emails. Not to go into too many details he was a criminal and had fled the country. We eventually wired him back his initial payment and kept the car for about a year then I sold it to a collector from Puerto Rico at a car event in New Jersey. Idk what it is about massive amounts of money that makes people lose their minds at the smallest thing, legit or not.

In my experience, the richest guys are the ones that never talk about how much money they have. For example, "Tom" talks about his Sunseeker and how much it costs. Real wealthy person says, thanks for the invite, but we are usually out on the boat on nice days.

As much as I appreciate the vinwiki content, seeing Lemon Squad as a sponsor, tarnishes the brand in my eyes. Used them for a PPI a few years ago and was not happy with the service or follow-up support (despite giving them a chance to make it right). Use them at your own risk and give serious consideration to finding a reputable local mechanic who knows the type of car you're looking to buy instead of them. I have a vinwiki level story about their "PPI service" that I'd love to share!

The World's Worst Customer is the "buyer" of a $25K Mercedes R129. Sold many 6-figure Ferrari, Porsche and others, but never felt as used up as when dealing with the "expert" who tracks every 1997 SL500 BAT/eBay auction, then drags you for weeks (or months) of questions without ever making an offer. In his mind, it's your job to educate him until one day he texts you a picture of the car he just bought for a fraction of your asking price. Evidence of paintwork, no service history and 10 y/o tires are OK; he's just happy he "saved" $5K. "Oh by the way, where can I get the roof hydraulics fixed?"
