Awesome Car Buying Experience
Well, after scouring the earth looking for a low priced used 991, and upping my budget a few times, as well as my ever growning option wish list, I finally pulled the trigger. I got a brand new leftover 2012 991 Cab, white with blue top and blue interior. The car has way more options than I was looking at if I built one -- full leather interior, BOSE of course, heated and ventilated seats, Sport Chrono, PASM, Park Assist, 7 speed, 14 way sport seats, and a few others I'm forgetting.
Anyway, I got an absolutely great deal from Hoffman Porsche in CT, who also CPO'd the car so I have over 5 years of warrantee left! I flew out on Wednesday to buy it and they picked me up at the airport, drove me back to show me the car, and take me through all the features. Edward and Josh treated me exactly the same as they would if I had picked up a 2014 for sticker. They would have spent all day with me showing me the car if I wasn't a bit anxious to start heading back to Chicago. The last thing they do, which is just a nice little touch, is to top off the tank before you leave! Overall it was the best car buying experience I have had, and couldn't have been smoother, easier, or better. It was a seriously great day, topped off with a 400 mile cruise to PA in my new Cab, and then a 500 mile saunter to Chicago the next day. As Ferris Bueller would say, "If you have the means, I highly recommend it." LOL
Thanks again to Edward and Josh.

Nice. I like the blue leather and top combo. Something a little different in a sea of common colors and combos.

I don't think I can post pictures since I'm not a paying member. I wonder if this link will work:

Sweet brother!
Always good to hear about a nice purchasing experience.
Car looks great. I love the 12 rear lettering that simply says "911" and nothing else.
Congrats, post pics and drive in good health.

Great car, congrats!!!!!
(As long as we are posting great dealer experiences, Hoehn Porsche in Carlsbad, CA was fantastic to work with and I think gave me a phenomenal deal on my recently purchased '07 Cayman).

Wow, thanks all. It seemed that my want list kept growing with my budget and I wasn't sure they were ever going to be on the same page. I feel very, very lucky!
