Default My new 911 / Introduction

Hi all,
I've had my 2020 911 for about a month now and am loving it! I previously had a 2017 911 that I purchased new in 2016 and owned it for 4 years. I did not think Porsche could improve on the 991.2 but the 992 is on another level! I have always loved the wide-body 911s. So after one test drive in a 992 911, I was hooked and had to have it and placed an order last January. I retired from a 35-year career last year and started a new and completely different career and now sell Porsches. Even though I sell these awesome vehicles I am sure I will learn a lot from this forum and I hope to share some of my knowledge as well. Mark

Beautiful car. What was it like making the transition to selling cars? I'm retiring soon and am wondering whether or not I should start a second career.

Congrats on the car.......beautiful!

So sad sport suspension on the base Carrera isn't an option. The wheel gap is massive and looks awful :-(

I can chime in on that. I'm on the "last" career move as well, and selling Porsche's is AWESOME! Especially if you work for a good dealership and a stellar GM
