Default Which dealer? North or South Florida

http://www.porsche-code.com/PNFR6EG9

Main choices are:
Champion (Ft. Lauderdale)
Porsche of West Broward
Porsche of Destin
Porsche of Mobile

I'd rather avoid the Miami-Date dealers.

Leaning towards Champion or Mobile...

The car will live part of its years near each, so warranty service could go either way.

you're covering both ends of a large state, why would you consider a south FL dealership? do they have a specific car that you want? FWIW: porsche Jacksonville has been good to deal with.

For anyone interested…Mobile was the answer. By far.

I bought mine from Naples too and had a good experience. They do a ton of cool car shows/events too, wish I lived closer as none of the east coast dealers seem to do that stuff (at least that I am aware of).

Have you experienced Naples? I won't go anywhere else.

Newish 996tt owner here in the Hwy 30a area west of PCB and my tt is currently at Porsche of Destin having an idle problem addressed. Jury is still out IMO. Hopefully they are adept at this sort of thing. I get the sense their service staff supply isn’t matched to meet demand.

Smith Motorworks of Panama City Beach is apparently the undisputed king of pcars (and Ferrari) in this area but getting a spot in their shop has not been possible.

Very thankful for the expertise on this forum. Once I get a private garage again, I hope I don’t have to pay another person to do the work on my cars.
