Default Hi! Back in the Porsche fold!

Hi everyone! I had a 2002 C4 cab back from 02 to 05 and since then dabbled in various other german brands but finally found my way back!

Just delivered is my 2017 S with full leather, sport exhaust, pdk, etc.

It is so good to be back in a Porsche and god is the 991.2 a beast!

Congratulations. So you had it delivered instead of picking it up at the dealer? I ask because the only negative I could think of before buying my ‘15 C2 with 3k miles that was at BMW of San Antonio was that I would miss out on the delivery experience at a P-car dealership.

Yes, local dealer wouldn't deal so i got it out of Porsche of Kings Auto Mall in Cincinnati over 1800m away - they where already advertising at over 10% off msrp.

Very nice, congrats. Only Senior Porsche Techs are allowed to build the white ones.

I gotta believe a 991 feels light-years ahead of a 996 series 911. That's almost the way ya gotta do it.....skip a series in between....ya can't go for every series varient.....not significant enough changes....especially HP wise.

Now, just don't melt.

Thank you LexVan! And yes, night and day. Not just speed but the interior, tech, ride are so much more advanced. I will say, that 996 gave me it's best as I used to run it along topanga, Mulholland, stunt, piuma, Las virgenes, etc in LA very hard. Only think that ever broke was the shift cable...of course that was on pch in Malibu about 20m from where we lived. Called Porsche, walked to Enterprise, rented a car and went to dinner!

Actually, a great thing about Porsche is they put an HVAC system for a full size sedan in so they cool amazingly fast!

Thank you Michael_s! Mike Gerber (Sales) and Bill Winstel (GM)....I would go back to them in a heartbeat. Great service. And they start off advertising discounts of 7-10%.

What a small world! GM said he actually likes to advertise his discounts since he could be like others and list at msrp and sell 10 a month in his local market or discount and sell 20 or more a month and be a national dealer. He prefer the latter as the advertisement his happy customers do he couldn't ever buy!
