Now that my saga with the SL 55 is over...how can I find out who the highest volume dealers are? I have a good relationship with the dealer where I got my car but if I want the TT as soon as possible some one on the board recommended finding a dealership that does a high volume as they will have the best chance of getting a car in stock quickly.

Thanks!

well, the highest volume porsche dealer in the USA is Champion in Florida. In the tri-state area, I would try any of the dealers on the Island, Roslyn or Storms in the hamptons would be my pick.

Might I also suggest a different strategy, the opposite. I tend to think that you are looking for a car in a market full of people that want that car and can have it asap.

For example, I am second on the list for an RS4 in LI. However, the dealer in Charleston, SC had no one on the list. There is a Porsche dealer in SC.

Chris has it right. You need to go with a LOW volume dealer. When my father bought his SL when they first came out and were the hot item he couldn't find a spot in the DC area especially from his dealer that he had bought 5 or 6 cars from already.....NO LUCK! He ended up getting his from Brownsville, Texas and had it shipped.

Yep, I go to low volume dealerships. I bought my 996 in Cincinnati, there I paid a better price than people were offering on autotrader plus I received a CPO warranty. Also, I remember asking the salesperson how many of those GT's have you sold, he says.."ahhh none". I take my car in to a Local DC dealership 2 weeks later and ask the same question the saleman says "I dunno, maybe 6 or 7". I really do think someone who shopped in OH could pick up a GT for less than they can from here.

I have not spoken to Ray Catena...I will be starting my onslaught next week. I plan to call a ton of dealers. Actually that is exactly what I did when I got my 03...I called at least 20 dealers...the car was shipped from NC to a dealer in PA who delivered it to my house. Who is your contact? Is he a salesman?

I would ad Porsche of Princeton Ed Slouthus (sp?) Holberts in PA and Storms in the Hamptons.

Rac, There's someone selling an 05 TT with 3,000 miles on it in the forums. Is that the car you're looking for? My guess is you'll get the best price from him.

RA.....call Michael Schwartz at Schneider & Nelson, tell him I sent you. The guy is one of the few really honest ones out there, and is possibly very close to your location.
