While looking for a 991.1 (a must for me) GTS MT (also a must) I found a listing from Porsche dealer in North Olmsted, OH. That would be a long shot though as it is most likely would be buying unseen...
Any experience sharing working with this dealer or any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Default Don’t worry

Porsche north Olmsted is owned and run by a standup company. Bernie moreno. My family and I have bought numerous Mercedes from them which is in same parking lot. I did not buy my 2 911’s from them(Porsche BEACHWOOD) since they didn’t have what I was looking for cpo.

I would buy with confidence. They also have never given me a hard time buying at invoice on a new car in the past. You can PM me for any questions. I still take my cars there for service.

Thanks.
I'm working with Sebastian Mora at that dealership on a paint to sample Euro delivery car and he has been fantastic.

Buy with confidence from these guys!

Missed this until now.
I've dealt with them for a few years. Great experiences.
Benrie Moreno is a force of nature - I doubt he ever sleeps.
PNO has been very fair with me.

Thanks everybody for the inputs. I now can also testify that the people at this Dealership are great. The SA I was working with is Ken Daugherty and he has been extremely helpful timely answering every question I had and providing all the data I was asking for. For the record I should also mention that as of now we did not agree on a deal, but this is mostly by me not pursuing that particular car very aggressively, as I believe I will find a similar deal closer to home.

Great dealership to work with. I live in the suburbs of Detroit. They delivered my car to my house (about 3 hour drive) via covered trailer when I bought by 991. I have 3 friends that also bought from them and between the 4 of us we have probably purchased 6 or 7 Porsches from them. They are part of the Bernie Moreno network of dealerships in Cleveland.

Stand up guys.

OK, just pulled the trigger on that GTS. It is first time I am buying a car unseen. I wish I've ordered GTS during 991.1 production times...had to hunt a used car to correct that mistake now.

I should say thank you to the first owner for configuring the car exactly my way which made it next to impossible to pass on.
991.1 NA MT, GT Silver, Glass sunroof, Black Leather w Alcantara, Leather sport design steering wheel (my preferred option), Premium pkg 18 way seats and what I truly love - 5-lug GTS black wheels.

Both Internet sales person and dealership GM assured me the car is in "like new" condition.They both were very helpful and were the reason I bought this car.
I hope I will not be disappointed when the car shows up on my driveway.
We will see. I am hopeful.

Couple of dealer's pics for now.

Never had to register an out of state car in California myself before. Hopefully it won't be a big hassle..
