Everyone, thank you for the warm welcome!!!
Yes, that is Foreign Cars Italia at Greensboro, NC. They were about the 5th or 6th dealership that we had visited over those many months. Of all of them, it was the best experience but none of them were what I would call bad. I called a few days out from Florida preparing to return to Maryland. Not sure how long the car had been on the lot but I hadn't got any hits via porsche.com search until that day. I called and the sales manager Colin answered the phone. A pleasant surprise. A phone call that didn't go to voice mail. We arrived Saturday morning and Colin introduced us to Justin. A fine young man, polite, professional and appropriately attired. No selling was needed. Just needed to drive the car, make the decision and then Justin and I went to see Colin, we negotiated and all was done. It was a trade by one of the customers and everything they said about the car could be confirmed by the paperwork. We left the car there to have the clear protective film applied (full front and full hood) and we drove a one way rental back to Greensboro and Justin met us at the airport car return that next Saturday. Picked us up in the Panamera. Nice ride!
He had the car in the showroom and he took me through the systems, we counted the books, I got all of the service records, two keys and we hit the road with a full tank of gas.
It's an amazing showroom. I say this jokingly, we had to walk the isle of shame past the Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Aston Martins to get to the "poor Porsche house".
We can't say enough nice things about Justin. He did well especially in view of how particular I am when it comes to spending my hard earned cash. He respected that.
