Congratulations Kevin. It seems that you've purchased the car of your dreams and now it's time to enjoy the passion. I don't know if you got sport chrono, but even if you didn't you'll never use the full potential of these cars. You'll see when you're cruising along and decide to hit the accelerator and the torque pushes you into the leather seat, and turn of the wheel allows the car to cut through the turns with surgical precision. You'll know then your in the seat of a 911, a car built for those who enjoy perfection.

Funny.
I went to Tysons and nobody would even approach me. When I approached one of them they were a$$holes. Took my 3rd Porsche purchase and $94K elsewhere.
Glad it worked for you, have fun with it.

I disagree with Edgy01's assertion that "you have plenty of time." Life is fleeting: provided you have the means, buy what you want, when you want it. Some of us (including myself) pored over options pages for hours/days/weeks, but in the end, we all got what we wanted. Sounds like you did too, and that's really what matters.
Now you have to post pics of the new car!

Congrats!!
I find their service department, very curteous but way too busy. You REALLY have to demand things from them. They replaced my pirelli tires after 2000 miles because they could not get the vibration out. But, this was on the third trip in and had to involve the service manager.

Hmm I went to Porsche of Arlington and got a good deal. It took me a minute but their sales manager David seemed fair with me. Enjoy!

Dr. Lipton,
You were mis quoted by Chad- and it was an honest mistake- although according to the notes it was less then $1,000 difference...
We strive for excellence at all times, and even champions fall short. As far as selling Porsche- no one sells more then us in Ohio.
Like I said, it was an honest mistake, and one that Chad readily admitted to making.
We would be happy to service your new 997, and will extend to you the same level of service, regardless of whether or not you purchased your car from us.
If you have any questions, you're more then welcome to contact myself at:
Chris@clevelandporsche.com
All the best,
Chris Sanner
