Looking for a good Porsche Dealer
I'm looking at buying my first Porsche and a second one later this year. I'm looking to start a relationship with a strong dealer and an experienced and established sales rep. I'm in the Los Angeles area, but willing to travel if needed. Which the largest 3 Porsche dealers in Southern California? Any reps one can recommend?

I can highly recommend Bob McDonald at Walter's Riverside Porsche in Riverside, CA. Close to you Amir1. Bob is a former racer, avid Porsche nut & all around good guy. bmcdonald@waltersporsche.com or 951-688-3344
I just picked up my new Turbo S from him last week.

I had great luck with Downtown LA Porsche. Gerald Tan is the sales manager and the entire process between ordering and delivery went smoothly with my new TTS. I was impressed. Much better than Orange County dealerships. Walter's Riverside is also an excellent dealership in my opinion.

When I was at the Thermal track last January I stopped by Porsche Palm Springs & asked about ordering a new TTS. I was told no problem as they were one of the largest Porsche dealers in the US & they could take my order in the summer. I stopped by in June & the same salesman told me the TTS is only for VIPs & I wasn't a VIP. They also lied as they are not even close to being a high volume dealer. They do have the nicest showroom I've ever seen. I went down the road to Walter's Riverside Porsche. They were honest good people & sold me a TTS.

Mina Ibrahim at Porsche Beverly Hills is a great guy. I’ve worked with him on several cars snd referred a lot of business to him. He used to work at Porsche South Bay before he moved during the onset of COViD. I would stay clear of Porsche South Bay. The group there pulled a massive bait and switch on me last fall on a TTS. They tried to renegotiate my 991.2 TTS trade by 15K AFTER I shipped the car to LA from Seattle. Thankfully, several other dealers gave me the original deal and I picked up my TTS at PEC LA last week. The SM and GM literally said if you don’t want our new offer go away - we don’t need your business. Ironically the trade sold for $20k over the original trade offer in a week. That said it sounds like there are a lot of good options out there. Good luck.
