Default Looking for a new home

After 10 years with Manhattan Motorcars my relationship with them has come to an end. I am not going to air the dirty laundry on a public forum. Instead I’ll just say that I bought all my Cayennes, Panameras, Macans as well as regular 911 from this dealership. Every GT car I bought from them I sold it back to them as well.
For a number of reasons I don’t want to continue buying cars from them anymore, but I don’t want to leave the brand. So I am looking for a new home. Good service, responsive dealer who appreciate loyal customer that buys several cars every year. Dealers with ADMs please don’t bother.

I didn’t. I could go I to the details. I chose not to. It’s unnecessary. My goal is to find a new dealer - not to bash someone.

You bashed them in a round about way....not that we care....I think it will be tough to start from scratch with a new dealer if you want a 992 GT car, unless your plan is to leverage it with some other purchases....

I actually like the way you are going about this. No reason to air dirty laundry but why not advise to what Dealer one may need to proceed with caution.

Good luck in your search and I am sure you will find a Dealer who will reward you for your multiple yearly purchases.

Unfortunately this story can be repeated over and over again about many Porsche dealers and It’s a shame there are so many horror stories about dealers from this brand.

i don’t know what it is or why....

If your heart is set on a house and you can afford it, will a bad real estate agent stop you from buying that house..? By bad i mean bad service, no timely response etc..Treat cars just like that. Buy from whoever has the car you want, do your research, get fair price/fair deal. Screw loyalty to any specific dealership.

Exceptional dealer that "will" do right for their clients. Reach out to Joel Casa the Sales Manager or Mark Brenner General Manager.

Hennessey in Atlanta.
Absolutely top notch dealership and I can not recommend them enough. Honest, direct, and numerous updates along the process
Although 2k+ miles away, they were able to get me the GT car I wanted and handled tasks in a timely manner.

This is something my local dealer, Porsche Chandler, could not do as they were busy playing allocation games after myself doing $240k in business with Porsche Chandler in their first 6 months of being open.
Then they stiffed me altogether after numerous visits, emails, and phone calls. I had bought a GT4 from them with the explicit condition I would be on the GT3 list. Porsche Chandler then decided to refuse to live up to that verbal agreement
so I would not recommend them

If you don't mind traveling to Philly, I have an awesome dealership and salesperson for you. They deliver their cars on a trailer (if you wanted to), pretty much anywhere that is within reason.

They value exactly what you mentioned, and never charge ADM's. PM me and I will put you in touch.
