Court Tears Up Porsche Purchase Contract Due to Defects
The Utrecht court ruled in favor of a buyer who terminated his contract for a €32,500 Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid after persistent defects rendered the vehicle unsafe. Despite two repair attempts, issues with the hybrid energy system and drive unit persisted, prompting the buyer to tear up the contract when the seller failed to respond. An expert deemed the car dangerous due to potential stalling risks. The court rejected the seller's claims that the buyer caused the damage or that the lack of warranty mattered, ordering the seller to refund the purchase price plus approximately €3,500 in legal and inspection costs.
