I have never bought a car from Par Cars, but know them pretty well as I often stop in. I have purchased a few parts and some accessories and they have been quite professional and reliable. The cars are usually on consignment (and I don't remember what there percentage share is if you sell your car). Pricing seemed to me to be a little on the high side, but a reliable company. If you need Recaro's they are a distributor. Overall my experience has been positive. Good reliable company, but I probably could spend less somewhere else.

Hi Peter. I have plenty of experience with PAR Porsche and would H-I-G-H-L-Y R-E-C-O-M-M-E-N-D them to anyone. In the last few years, I've spent close to $150,000 there (2 Porsches, upgrades & routine maintenance). I know everyone there and can vouch for them: very professional & knowledgeable.

Hey Peter,

I have to agree with C4S, they are on the expensive side. And I do believe that most of the cars are consignment.
The prices are fairly firm and if you ask me, high for the options they have. I am sure they have a niche market/customer base but if I were currently in the market I would try to find a better deal. That is not to say they are not a good dealership or don't have nice cars, but you are going to pay a premium..
good luck..

My general impression is similar to that of B-Line

i.e., select p-cars but a bit on the "high" side of the Market (?)
