How loyal are you to your nearest Porsche dealer?
#61
This is what I will probably be doing the next time. Its interesting to hear different perspectives from around the country. Here in California, in the Bay and Los Angeles areas, there seems to be a 'race to the bottom' as far as customer service. Just business I guess with no shortage of buyers....

In my case loyalty absolutely works.
I have dealt with the same dealer group since 1998.
In that time I have taken delivery of 11 cars ( 2 Subaru WRX, 1 Audi S-4, and 8 Porsches (993, CaymanS, 911-50, 4 GT3's, & 1 GT4). Still have the 2016 Subaru, 991.2 GT3 & GT4.
Five have been below MSRP and six at MSRP. None above.
They have consistently given me passes to private events at track events.(Hospitality Suites, new model introductions, Zentrum, etc.) I was also given a 2 day session at the Sport Driving School in Birmingham.
Nice loaners & fast service. What else do you want?
Sorry Mooty………..CARLSEN PORSCHE REDWOOD CITY

Never too late to develop a relationship with Fresno. I chose to spend my 2.5 hrs of drive time heading to a dealer in Fresno that has open roads ahead of me and Great service as opposed to 2.5 hrs of traffic filled windshield stop and go traffic heading west into the land of the entitled tech market better than thou attitudes and horrible service. No offense - but it didnt used to be that way. I know all are not like that in the Bay Area but the scene has definitely changed. Id rather hang out with the humble hard working farmers.

737, CP told me last week that the got another 3RS position. So if interested, hit them up. They are out of GT3 positions as of now. I was trying to get a touring model from them recently. My first choice was LG, but your friend and another local were already getting that color. So I went with MB hoping to not see 10of them in town! I know of 1 in Scottsdale com8ng but that’s it. See you soon.
I assume you you are a pilot as well?! I fly as well (not professionally though)
I’m guilty as charged on the pilot thing. Fly for SW. My buddy taking the Euro delivery on the 23rd of this month is also a Pilot for us. I saw your posts on the German Engineering thread. Love the A/C you have. Great for flying at both ends of the spectrum. See you around the southeast valley.
Oh, when do you get your RS? I would love to see it in the flesh.

Hey Joe, I called my SA (intials EN) and he said he hadn’t heard about the allocation yet. They probably already had it sold. He said all 3Rs’s are 30K over plus clear film protection. No GT3s as you said. I’ll keep checking. I’m always looking at the pre-owned market as well. Found a very nice MB GT3 in the upper Midwest and a high MSRP chalk in the south. Both great cars just need them to come down to earth a bit. Time will tell. Congrats again on your MB 3RS. That color has really grown on me. The Cayman GTS in CP’s showroom looks great.

FYI, I am going to be selling my 991.2 GT3 back to them in a couple weeks. White with around 2k miles. Let me know if you have interest. PDK with Sofas.
