I like the Pylon, but I don't think I'd pay $85.94 after writing a check for $130K.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Finally received the Porsche COA for my RSA. Inside the folder was the usual COA stuff, along with an order form for the brushed stainless steel Porsche desk pylon with your car's VIN #. They want $79.95 + $5.99 S/H...3-5 weeks delivery. Seem to remember an old thread regarding the pylons. I got one with my 01TT, it just showed up at home one day in the mail...some later buyers of 996 and 996TT's did not. No one really knew when they stopped providing them for free. I like the Pylon, but I don't think I'd pay $85.94 after writing a check for $130K. They also included an order form to buy yellow Porsche post it notes; 10 pads for $25.00! I think Porsche is going a little bit too far for the sake of revenue.

POST 2Original post

I got mine just the other day, roughly 9 months after buying my '01 brand new. That's slower than even the guvment <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> I wasn't charged for it btw.

POST 3Original post

I bought my car in March of 01 and never got one. I am MAD....

POST 4Original post

I bought my an 02 coupe in JAnuary 02 and I received a pylon for free. Took maybe 2-3 months? MAybe it has something to do with the dealer and how proficient they are? Just my $0.02

POST 5Original post

I bought my 996 C4 in July of '01 and got a free pylon in the mail a month or two later.

POST 6Original post

My '02 Carrera was delivered September 2001, and had a card in it that said you'd get one if you responded to the customer survey. I did, and got one a while later.
