Having nearly arrived on a configuration for a 4S; I now need to work with a dealer to get it ordered.

Are there any tips on choosing a dealer, and then working with them to order the car? There are 3 that are reasonable distances from me - should I go with the closest for any reason (should I service with who I buy it from for any reason)?

I contacted a sales rep at one that said they have an allocation and for 4k have an estimated delivery of 12/15. Would other dealers have the same dates and costs?

At this point I don't feel I have a lot to ask the dealer on the configuration, besides going in to see some of the color options in person - thanks to all the good information here.

I'm in Boulder, Colorado so the ones I could pick from are Prestige Imports in Denver (4.1 stars on Google), Porsche Littleton (4.6 stars on Google). or Porsche Fort Collins (4.4 stars on Google)

Thanks!

I bought my ICE Macan from a dealer 500 miles away and have never been back. The local dealer has been more than happy to service it. That's where dealerships make their money.

Can you please explain to use newbies what is meant by your sentence…,

“If you order a Porsche experience delivery - it won't matter where you order your car from.”

TU.

if you order experience delivery - you get to pick up your vehicle from either the porsche experience center in Los Angeles or Atlanta (your choice) - it's a day of fun, food, experience and personalized care for your vehicle delivery. You then get to take your vehicle from the experience center and drive it home,

I'm doing it for my Macan in Atlanta - and I've done it before for my wife's Cayenne and my 911 GT3 in europe - I had a fabulous time each time and highly recommend it (at least once).

buy it from any dealer you like or can find- and pick up your new car in Los angeles for example. And they will do a better job answering your questions during delivery than a clueless dealership sales man that doesn't know anything about EV's. And food at the restaurant is excellent, and the on track experience is super super fun.

not on an EV - old guard dealerships are learning this and they don't like it.

tires, wipers, and cabin airfilters, ,and the ocassional brake fluid flush - other than that it's repairs only (which we all hope are rare/infrequent).

Excellent; thank you. PECLA is in our latest configuration.

Can I ask what makes Steven's creek special if you are taking delivery in Atlanta. Do they have better pricing?

Awas

I didn't think Porsche prices are negotiable on this new Macan. I tried, but they didn't budge.

No success on my end either.

What I have seen is people recommend dealers because they do not charge ADM - which seemingly is relatively common in California (based on posts, no first hand experience).

daveo4porsche

they've alwasy been fair with me and nicer than other dealers - pricing has been fair and they have worked to get me a car - other dealers seem too busy to deal with me and treated me like crap

I won't say steven's creek is not a car dealer, they are - but of all the Porsche dealers in the sF bay area they seem the most reasonable - YMMV

at the end of the day I prefer Tesla's "sales" model - the dealship network and having a go between is pointless middle man IMHO.

but if we have to have dealers I prefer ones that don't treat me like dirt.

man it sounds like some of you guys have had some trauma on previous sales experience.

we have 2 changeable Macan 4S allocations FYI

I would also buy a car from CJ and look forward to doing so one day - Fresno Porsche if I remember correctly CJ? Edit: ahhh I'm blind - it's there in his signature…

Respect! for buying a car from a dealer than can drive it faster than I can and know more about it than I do.

and yes you'd be amazed at what some sales people have told me when I was trying to give them money to purchase their product.

are there any updates to delivery expectations you can share for the first batch of Macan's in USA/California - is Sept. 20th still the "official" date - have any of your customers taken delivery?

I am _NOT_ asking for any "secret" info - but I'm very interested in any updates on any official words…

Bellevue (WA) Porsche said all 4 of their test drive units are slated to arrive on September 20th as well.
