Default SoCa Porsche sales associate recommendation needed

I will be ordering a new '11 model Cayenne S as soon is it becomes available (I believe they are taking deposits now on July deliveries). It will replace my Lexus, not my 993! My office manager will be purchasing a new '10 Cayenne in the next month or so.

I'm seeking a referral to a sales associate who can assist us in purchasing these vehicles at the prevailing reasonable rate without any fooling around/haggling. I know many of you have had good things to say about your purchase experience and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

I've not heard good things about their air-cooled service, but I met Carl, the General Sales Manager from Pacific (Torrance) at a PCA event. He was also patient with me when I came in to do a Rennfax for a 'Lister in TX: http://pacific.porschedealer.com/about_us/team.php

Hey there,

I highly recommend Micheal Medina at Woodland Hills Porsche. A genuinely nice guy and a class act. I know its a bit far for you, but this dude is just what you're looking for. Honest, easy going, involved with club stuff and local events, etc. Best guy I've dealt with from any brand. You can tell him Maz sent you.

Try David Cashion at Newport Auto Center. Looks to be very close to you. I've bought 2 cars from him--no BS, stand up guy that works hard to get you exactly what you want. PM me if you want more details.

I second the recommendation of Carl Tofflemire at Pacific Porsche in Torrance.
Very good guy. Takes care of Porsche Owners Club members and friends.
If you contact him, tell him Hergie gave you thumbs up..

How many Porsche's does this make Mr. P?

Thanks Laura and Canyon. I love this place!

And, Laura, getting my second GX470 was a big and boring mistake not to be repeated.
