As with all things, we know there are good dealers/salespeople out there and bad ones. The stories are endless and often times as to "what are they thinking". I'd rather focus on and highlight the good ones. After all, we both need each other into acquiring our toys and maintaining them. Most of these bad experiences can be traced to bad management and the higher ups at these dealers. Geez, look at all the GT cars with allocations, flips, and huge mark ups. Issues like that go higher than the dealer level many times to PCNA/PAG.
Many times, there can be great relationships to be had. Some sales guys that I've had the pleasure of chatting with and staying in touch with and true enthusiasts just like us. It's just their career as we have our own to be able to afford cars, raise a family, and have a roof over our heads.
As we all know, work and careers are not easy many times. The ones who stand above the competition prosper more. The same as it is in most businesses.

Just remember:
So your homework here on the buying experience.
Shop around the USA for a great used deal.
Judge the vehicle on its own merits and not the dealers reputation.
Each car has its own story regardless of what Porsche dealer is selling it. Just saying, even the best dealers get cars with stories. The better ones don't keep the drama cars because they'd rather be more selective in the inventory they like to sell.

Burning Brakes
I called and made an offer on this car sight unseen...$65k. Mike, the salesman called me back and said someone was local, in the dealership, working on a deal with them on this car. He called me back a few hours later and said the other party purchased the car for full asking price. Kind of bummed i missed out but I felt Mike Pardini seemed like a good honest guy over the phone...
**** Hey guys. Here's a contact at the dealer and pics! ****

I'm starting to look for a 991 coupe to add to my Boxster and these prices are getting close to "why not?". I originally wanted to get a third 993, but the prices just don't work for me in the current market.
Thanks.

The defining factor on whether or not that's needed is the PCM software version. Press "INFO" and "SOURCE" together on the PCM to display that info.
SW V3.X = Modification Required
SW V4.X = No Modification Required
As far as price goes, a backup camera without modification should land around $1,200-$1,500 and a modified version should be $1,500-$,1800 — parts and labor. Of course that all depends on who's performing the work and what the labor rate is.
Hopefully that gives you the insight you were looking for.
