Raise it up the chain to PCNA. We don't need idiots in the showrooms. Then negotiate on a car with them including a discount for stupid sales staff, really!

At least he found out there was a GT3 RS race car in Porsche's history...

RC what a surprise. They are very close to me but i refuse to deal with them. Rude,snobbish, and full of ****. Went there to look at a new cayman s when they came out. Salesman spoke to me like i was a dumb 5 year old that never had a nice car. The look on his face when I told him i was a 27yo doctor and that was my 993 in the lot was priceless. I will get a cayman soon as a daily driver but never from them. They also tried to tell my parents that porsche no longer made cayennes with 19's anymore when the lease was up on my moms 04 and she wanted a new 06. The salesman told my dad to check the lot and see that no n ew cayennes had 19's if he did not believe him. Funny another p car dealer had a cayenne that day in nj with 19's. That must have been a special one. F those assclowns buy your car from someone decent. You all know 30 years ago RC owned a junkyard and had a used car dealership that operated out of a trailer. I know this because my godfather was rc's dentist.

Haven't had that with a Porsche dealer, although I have been trying to order a Skyline for myself, and get the same lines. "We can't take a deposit on a car we don't know about." "What's the Skyline? That's only available in Japan."

^Speak with the GM and tell him to start a list for the Skyline and that you're numero Uno...that's what I did with the GT3 (October 2005) and RS (February 2006).

You probably have to call your local nissan and infiniti dealerships to cover all bases unless they have already announced which division will get the r35.

BASIC RULE IN BUYING INTERESTING CARS

Order them throught the manufacturer's press department
You avoid waiting in loine ands don't have to deal with fwitted salesman

A great bonus is the look on the faces of all at that crappy dealership when your car arrives with delivery instructions.......

jeff
It helps if

a. you actually publish something from time to time (not difficult, actually)
b. you go to the races and make yourself known to the bosses of the motorsports teams
c. you go to the press days of the major international moptorshows and talk to the car compßany bosses

See you in Geneva

'Back in the good old days' they didn't BS?
Hardly, I think a bunch of salesman at an audi/vw/porsche dealership (up until 1986) wouldn't know much.
