I want to take a moment to highly recommend Porsche Fremont for anyone for anyone that lives in the area for their exceptional customer service.
From the moment I stepped into their showroom 13 months ago, I was impressed by the professional and welcoming atmosphere.
The guys there are passionate about cars in general and Porsche in particular, and did everything they can to help me even without actually selling me anything.

having said that, the (only) reason my Spyder is "Miami Blue" and not PTS "Arrow Blau" was due to the lazy-assed SA (Terry Toledo) @ Fremont, failing to take the 30s it takes to input the paint code for my PTS into the internal ordering system (for about 1 month) in time for it to make the "PTS Window" ... so YMMV.

Also Gunter (svc mgr) and Cory (lead tech) are now at Porsche S.F, so no reason to go the Fremont anymore IMO.

Happy New Year everyone.

in "theory" there should be a "Boxster Brunch" at Alice's Sat 1/6 and 2/3 ... but I dont see mention of them on the PCA-GGR website...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion based upon their experience, but I will never purchase from Porsche Fremont because of the way they conduct business. I was looking to purchase a GT4. They got a 2016 GT4 in so I called to schedule a test drive to start the process and they said for these "rare limited edition" cars, they don't do any test drives until purchase paperwork is completed. Sorry to say, but I do not consider a used 2016 GT4 a "rare limited edition" car to the point that you couldn't do a test drive before deciding about the purchase.

Meanwhile, McLaren Palo Alto threw me the keys to a 570S even after I told them I was just looking and didn't want to waste their time since I wasn't ready to buy a McLaren yet.

Really left a bad taste about the Porsche brand and this was after selling my 911 Turbo. I'm wanting to get into a 718 Spyder/991.2 GT3 after I've had my fun with my Superleggera but after that experience, I may just go to McLaren until our local Porsche dealerships get their act together.
