I purchased a Porsche Boxster from this…

I purchased a Porsche Boxster from this dealership based on representations that the car came with a Porsche warranty and a full Porsche service history. Unfortunately, my experience after the sale has been extremely disappointing.
Since taking ownership, the car has developed a number of issues that have required repeated attention. On each occasion I have contacted the dealership to have these problems addressed, I have found them to be dismissive and reluctant to resolve matters properly. Rather than taking responsibility or attempting to provide good customer service, I have felt that the focus has been on minimising costs wherever possible.
I also dispute the accuracy of some of the information provided to me before the purchase, particularly regarding the warranty and service history, and I remain very disappointed with how these concerns have been handled.
Based on my own experience, I cannot recommend this dealership. Buying a Porsche should be an enjoyable experience, but unfortunately this has been the opposite.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are genuinely disappointed to read your comments, as we do not believe they accurately reflect the way we handled your concerns.

Firstly, we would like to acknowledge the genuine mistake regarding the 2023 Porsche service record. We were provided with Porsche documentation, which led us to believe the vehicle had received a service when, in fact, it had only undergone an inspection. As soon as this was brought to our attention, we accepted responsibility and offered to rectify the situation by paying for an official Porsche 8-year major service, at a cost of approximately £1,500, to ensure the vehicle met the standard you expected.

We would also like to clarify the warranty. The vehicle was supplied with the warranty that was agreed upon at the point of sale. Whilst it was not a warranty administered directly by Porsche, it provided Porsche-backed levels of cover and could be used at Porsche Centres, with Porsche parts and Porsche labour rates. We therefore respectfully disagree with the suggestion that the warranty was misrepresented.

In relation to the mechanical issue, only one fault was reported to us. We immediately submitted this through the warranty provider; however, the claim was declined due to the service history discrepancy. Despite this, we chose to pay the full repair bill of approximately £800 as a gesture of goodwill to ensure the repair was completed without delay. This matter was resolved within hours of us being made aware of it.

We also respectfully disagree with the suggestion that we were dismissive or unwilling to help. Throughout the process, we remained in regular contact, accepted responsibility where a genuine mistake had been made, and offered practical solutions to resolve every concern raised. We always aim to provide every customer with an enjoyable buying experience, which is reflected in the overwhelming majority of our reviews.

Whilst we sincerely regret the misunderstanding regarding the service history, we are confident that we acted fairly, promptly and in good faith to put matters right.

Despite our significant gestures of goodwill and commitment to resolving the matter, we are disappointed that our efforts were met with repeated threats to pursue vehicle rejection through the finance company unless we accepted the customer's preferred outcome.

Can't fault our experience.

Can't fault our experience buying a car from Wave Motor Group. Sheldon was lovely, and helpful. The car's great, very happy with our purchase. Even had a follow up text to make sure everything was ok.
Highly recommend.

Outstanding Aftersales!!

I can't recommend this dealership enough. Sheldon and Callum have provided the most amazing aftersales imaginable.
I am based 60 miles from their showroom and having driven there for the test drive in a car I wasn't part exchanging I needed to drive home and have the car delivered.
The test drive went perfectly, I loved the car, lovely to drive, brilliant condition, so the deal was done there and then.
Sheldon and Callum drove the 60 miles to deliver the car to me the same day and I thought that was that.
Unfortunately after recieving the car on the Saturday afternoon, I get in to start it on the Monday morning and the clutch went straight to the floor completely without warning.
I sent Sheldon a video and he reassured me it would be sorted.
Monday afternoon, Sheldon and Callum arrive to collect the car not realising I couldn't select any gears.
They arranged a recovery truck and within an hour the car was being towed back to the showroom.
During the week they had the car back I had updates every day on the diagnosis, parts ordering, progress of the work etc via WhatsApp and voice note which was very reassuring.
As it transpired the slave cylinder in the clutch had failed with no warning overnight on my drive.
The car was fixed throughly rather than on the cheap with absolutely no questions asked about who was paying for the repair. Alot of garages would do the bare minimum repair or try to get away with claiming that the work required doesn't fall within the warranty cover.
Sheldon and Callum personally redelivered the car after all the work was done with a receipt for the work.
Clutch kit including clutch plate, pressure plate, release baring, dual mass flywheel, slave cylinder and new gearbox oil totalling £1357.
Quite simply, the car was delivered, recovered, fixed THOUROUGHLY at no small cost to themselves, then redelivered with a detailed original receipt of work done.
It was incredibly unfortunate that the clutch happened to fail on the second day of ownership with incredibly low milage but these things happen and the team at Wave Car Finance handled it with extraordinary proffesionalism and efficiency. Thankyou to you the team again.

The car buying experience was seamless with Sheldon arranging everything in advance so after being personally collected from the station the car was waiting. The car was immaculate but a warranty ensures the customer feels confident to buy. A great company and I recommend them.

Above and beyond

Sheldon was amazing, he found me the perfect car and answered all of my questions. I know nothing about cars so Sheldon provided some great advice and then everything was done for me, making it so easy.

I would 100% recommend using wave to anyone looking for a new car. The experience when picking up the car is an added touch. Both Sheldon and Callum go above and beyond for their customers. Thank you so much!!

Highly recommended and would use again! Shel and Cal were class all the way through and got me the car with the exact spec I needed.

Collected the car for me and was presented at showroom quality on collection day.

Very transparent and highlighted any issues with the car before purchase.

Could not thank Sheldon enough

I was very nervous as it was my first time buying a car, but Sheldon made the whole experience so much more comfortable. He's been incredible throughout the whole process, and was very accomodating and helpful, even while I asked 5000 questions. He also found me my perfect car. Could not reccomend enough. I will 100% be back next time
