i was asking "spoil", if you have a negative comment about something you should state the reasoning, theres always 2 sides to every story.

like i stated, i have bought 2 nice porsches from them and they were great to deal with. had an issue with a taillight assembly on one of them once it got delivered and they paid for a OEM replacement and installation, no questions asked, not many dealers or sellers do that in my experience

take it for what its worth, good luck

if u're serious about buying the car, book a ticket fly out to see it. that would be the best advice.

they seem to have a nice collection of cars but no website to check them out does seem odd. i wouldn't buy it unseen but that's just my opinion.

I tried buying a car from them but didn't work out. We agreed on a price and when I went to set up a PPI they said they sold the car and had a deposit on it. They never returned my calls or emails thereafter and the car sat on ebay for several months after.

what's funny is you sell cars as well...slantnose? it's like the pot calling the kettle black?..Let's get this straight I'm not trying to defend anyone here but if you guys make money selling cars then just be straight forward...Pointing fingers at each other is just childish. If you're a buyer then as stated before, book a flight and go see the car in person. Unfortunately most dealers are full of s*** but that should not shock anyone who has ever purchased a car. Caveat emptor....

I agree, if you are going to spend over $50K, what is another $500 or so for a round trip ticket. I've never understood buying site unseen. That is risky, pictures can be taken at angles where you don't see the damages.

That's sketchy. I recently brought a Boxster S out of state. I had the dealer take it to a Porsche dealership and had it PPI. Had the dealer pay for it first and placed the deposit after I got a copy of the PPI results. I didn't want to pay for somebody else's inspection. B/c I am out of state and there is always the possibility they will sell to someone local w/o reimbursing your PPI. If a dealer doesn't allow for PPI, I would move on.

Nothing wrong on this. 991 was first released as Model Year 2012. Overlapping the MY2012 997 GTS models & Turbo

I've been to their facility in NJ, nice guys, I almost bought a super nice 997tt they had, picked up another one instead. I'd have no reservation buying a car from Sean or Aret.
