Wow. That is a beautiful car. I love that color.
The car being listed still doesn't mean that it hasn't been sold. Mine was listed on my dealer's site for a month after they sold it to me.
Hope everything works out.

The picture was taken on 4/05/2008 at 4:21pm by a SONY DSC-P72 at f/5.6 1/200sec ISO-100 
When did they tell you it was sold?
Glad you got your refund(well almost - check not in hand)..

This could be a great thread topic . Many dealerships seem to overlook the internet sales capabilities by not featuring updated availability with photos of their inventory . Some do but many don't.

You can get online and "walk through" a 150k house, seeing every square inch of it with rotating video and dozens of pics. Seems like some dealers would do more than post "stock photos" of a 150k car. Maybe they should have a rotating video of this girl provacatively holding an oil dipstick....wait, crap, you can't do that with a Porsche.

Thanks for posting. I have friends down there with P car plans....they (4 of them, 6 cars...) will not use this dealer. Ever.
And, they have told their friends.....

I recieved the check, by UPS delivery no less. I would like to think this was all an aberation on their part. I have had one other person message me to say they've always been good with him. I'm square and therefore not holding any grudges.

I had this happen to me once by a BMW dealer and I am a lawyer. I threatened to sue and they did not budge. Then I had a lawyer buddy call on my behalf and threaten to sue. I then got a check the next day by Fed Ex.

There are two sides to every story, and while this thread is dramatic and damaging to the dealer, it is only half of the story.
I have used Porsche of Lexington on multiple occasions, both new car purchases and ongoing warranty and service work. They go above and beyond, and support the local PCA chapter wholeheartedly.
I had occasion to listen to the other side today...seems to me the dealer did everything they could to make the deal right, but in the end, the TWO parties could not agree.
In December, this same dealer sold me a GT3RS at msrp....a car they could easily have sold at market for 50k over. Find another dealer that was willing to do that in December '08.
A mishap/accident happened with this car and it was professionally repaired (saw it myself today, its not discernable). The dealer made an attempt at a reasonable adjustment on top of an already agreed upon concession on msrp.
Buyer wanted more than was considered reasonable, so the deal was dead. This dealer is in a smaller market area...trust me when I say they would have loved to have done the deal with the original prospective buyer who they specc'd the car for.
Like I said, two sides to every story, and while some of you may proclaim to warn all friends and family off this dealer, you will be doing them a disservice without knowing all the facts. I know I will continue to use them and recommend them for sales and service.

Even if they have given you great deals, if what the OP says is true, I would stay away from this dealer personally.
There is absolutely no reason not to return his deposit, or to put the deposit towards another car.
