John Lee, haven't bought a car from him but I've known him from school and he's always been a big car guy (like me). He had a slammed yellow A4 way back when.

mmmmmmm i wonder... Vincent is a great guy to talk to... As for Jimmy Lin lost my Bussniess coz of his attitude towards "Young kid who know's more than a Sale's Rep about the car He Wants" to Stuart @ Pfaff

Antje at DFC has been incredibly helpful to me and I recommend her highly. She has sold me two GT3 RS and a Cayenne S, and it has been a great experience.

I have found Brad Sinclair at the parts counter of Pfaff to always be super helpful, professional and reliable. In terms of the sales dept., I heard from a close friend that a test drive in one of their used vehicles with a salesman driving can be quite an eye-opening experience as to what these vehicles are capable of doing. The salesman may even brag about how it is quite ok to miss 2-3 gears when upshifting in a modern Porsche. "These cars are built for it." It seems to me that buying a used vehicle could also mean buying an abused vehicle from the sales staff at this Pfaff shop. (My .02 worth.)

Jamie Taylor isn't at Downtown, he's at Pfaff.

He is a great guy to deal with and will have my business for my next car.

I don't know Robert at all from a sales/dealership perspective, but I do know him from the track as an avid car guy with a nice 944 who appreciates Porsches, not just Cayennes.

Now you guys don't know me but normally speaking I'm the last guy people want to f#@k with and someone who's clearly not going to be impressed by attitude, it has it's place and can even be "simpatico" (think Donald Trump) but it is the last thing you're looking for when you're about to drop a sh#t load of $$ !!!!

Therefore I'll only deal with the GM, the absolute opposite from his people!

Same sh#t at the service department...thank God that at least there the Manager and certain mechanics there are excellent!!

Like I said you guys are lucky.

Cheers,

Sid.
When i pull up at Lauzon Porsche in Laval with my 89 Carrera to purchase the odd part i can't find elsewhere,it seems they don't even acknowledge my car as it must be a low value "dinosaur" to them ...\
I would like to kick some of those snotty salesmen in the *** to wake them up !!!

Yeah, i saw that 73 as i was driving by a few months ago ... The problem at that place is they have their VIP lounge with their pastries and esspresso machine to entertain their rich clients and anybody else is a "nobody " unless you bought your car there and gave them loads of money !

Oh well ... lol
