You will be surprised by some Porsche build quality. They are all fallible. My previous GT4 come with plastic pieces that are completely deformed and somehow port inspection missed it. There are stories all over the place for Porsche. The more you get into the brand, the more problems you see, that is usually the case. Since their products come from all over the EU, it is impossible for them to control it. Especially with how the world is currently, finding a quality part without issues is difficult.

Taycan (a lot) and even the Macan EV (already) have had recalls and stop sales. 718 GT4/Spyder/GTS 4.0 had a recall for an engine issue for late 2023 builds. The 991.1 GT3 had its entire build run recalled due to a manufacturing defect (aka engine grenading itself).

Among other things like squeaks, creaks etc is common. Regardless of which brand you have. Every single one of my Macan had something wrong on delivery. My current 24 Macan front windshield has an issue Porsche won't fix (hairline cracks) all over the front. It is one of the layers having a defect but they won't fix it because it is hard to spot. Porsche also been more stern on warranty recently, mainly because of their own finances (and more so VW).

Don't believe in income of their buyers Porsche releases. Believe me, number of that won't matter. They do have a lot of wealthy buyers of course, that is true but you be surprised how many are just regular folks. They just have their things in order and can spend a little bit on something pricey. Most dealers care for 1 thing. Your credit score, that tells the dealer everything they need to know about you and if they can trust you.
