Default Dealers around Pittsburgh\Cleveland

Hey guys, I have just relocated to north of Pittsburgh from Florida and am giving serious thought to getting back into a P car in the next couple of months. With the 991 coming out and winter due soon I figure I might be able to get a decent deal on a 09 or newer 997. I have looked at Porsche's site and the closest dealers I see to me are either Pittsburgh or Cleveland. I really don't have the time to drive to all of them so I'd like to get some insight on the reputations of the dealers in this area. I'm willing to travel outside of these dealers if need be but wanted to check these first as they are the closest.

I bought my Boxster from North Olmstead (Chris) near the Cleveland Airport. I just got my GTS from Beachwood (Brad) which is a little closer. Both were pretty good to deal with. North Olmstead has good service. I haven't had my new one serviced yet, so I can't speak on Beachwoods service yet.

Back in March I flew up to North Olmsted Porsche to buy my Carrera. Excellent buying experience (Chris Sanner was my contact). No suprises and a very fair price.

Only negative was the hassle/delay getting their help registering the car in GA. But would definitely work with them again.

Suggest you peruse the porscheusa.com used car finder and see what's out there.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the input. Sounds like Sewickley and North Olmsted (Chris) seem to have good reputations. So I'll definitely start with them first. I have looked at porscheusa.com for the used cars but an having a tough time finding exactly what I"m looking for. However I expect that to be the case when looking at used. Might start looking at 10 and 11's still on dealer lots to see what's out there. I'm probably a month or two away from being 100% ready to pull the trigger so it wil give me a little time to look around some.
In Florida you buy 12 months a year as weather is not a concern. How busy are the dealerships up here in the winter?
