I've ONLY been given 5% off MSRP "because I ordered it". I told them the price has changed because the 2011's are out. After a very heated exchanged they knocked an extra $2k off. Not sure I'm going to take it since I've been waiting since March and there attitude blows!!! Really leaning toward walking away to be honest and buying from another dealer.
The dealership I dealt with was just the same. "Jerks" and basicallly ruined the experience. If you get the car you want you will eventually forget the Jerks, but I won't forget them for the extra cash I had to pay for shipping to get me a car from another dealership and PCNA was useless and willing not to help. I fell for the "Planned Production" BS as well. Thanks PAG for that misrepresentation BS.

But, back to you. If you can get the 11 for 5%off, I would take it, if you like the car. That is key, getting what you want on the car, then give the dealership your piece of mind, it certainly made me feel better! Just make sure you can get it serviced elsewhere!

Do what makes you feel best, driving a Pana will make you feel better.

Why would you want to support an organisation like that? Alternate vendor/ dealer would be delighted to take a shot at your business I am sure. If you make a call to the guys here on the thread to who and where you should contact and I am sure many would be glad to pipe in.

Spoke with the OWNER...I called the dealership and got his cell phone #...Called him and introduced myself...explained that this is my 5th car since 2005!!! And that his Sales Manager and Salesman are about to blow $150k+ deal...He told me he would chk into it and get back with me soon...He called me back and said if "they have to swim out there get that car it will be at the dealership on Saturday"...I told he that I understand that he just added a Porsche dealership to his portfolio BUT this group is the worst F'N group I have EVER dealt with!!! And as a fellow business owner there is no way this dealership will ever make it with these guys running it.

Is it black with PCCB? I live in Seattle but grew up but grew up 3 miles from Saint Vincent's. Black and yellow for me out here and it drives the Seattle Sea Chicken fans (both of them) crazy. Plate: FECITY6

Congrats on the car. I love every Porsche I have owned.

I really don't understand people who make these kind of comments about someone's new car. It seems rude and mean spirited to me.

If you don't like the Panamera, why do you bother reading and posting on the forum?

It's a true Porsche..understated and timeless design.... when I first saw images I thought it was ugly...but now that I have seen them in the "flesh" a couple of times it grew on me and reading the reviews it is a perfect driving machine.

the rims and Ceramic brakes are a great addition!
