I am about two months away (maybe 3 if the werewife insists on regular meals) from having the funds in hand to plunk down on a 996. I am looking for any recommendations on honest P-car dealers in the Fort LAuderdale, FL area. There are a ton of places selling Porsches here, but way too many of them seem to be staffed by sleazy used car salesmen who don't think RMS is something their wife gets once a month. If anyone has had good luck witha dealer here, like maybe Champion Porsche, please let me know so I can get started on the hunt. Thanks a lot.

 

The salesmen at Champion think they are the ones buying the cars, not selling sell-- they don't give you the time of day unless you are buying a car right then and there.

I would suggest heading up to Braman in West Palm (Okeechobie blvd). Chip Davis is a great guy, he'll definately help you out.

 

I got a screaming deal on an 02 C2 coupe from the New Auto Toy Store. Ask for Doug. Champion is staffed by a bunch of snobs who would do thenselves well to read this board!

 

This is exactly the advice I was hoping for. Thank you Very Much!
It's best to hear from guys who have "been there"

 

The Collection?

 

Call Tom Towle 941-923-1700. He sold me my car, and is very knowledgeable, and fair.
You are looking at a 3 hr 15 min drive from FTL. Good luck!

 

It takes me 3.5 hours from St.Pete to Miami so 2.5 hours tops from FT L. I too agree with the Suncoast suggestion. Great group of guys over there.

 

Guys, thank you all. It looks like I'll have a good selection of dealers to work with.

 

I wholesale High Ends. 954-661-1990

 

Alpine,

I'll give you a call this week.

 

honest dealer...oxymoron.

 

Don't limit your search to local dealers. The best deal on a used car can probably had elsewhere.

 

Ask For Jim P @ Champion He Is The Sale's Person I Have Bought From, Braman Will Charge You 15% Over Sticker ON MOST CARS

 

Mike, Thanks. I think I just spoke to him about a C4 he is geting in.
By the way, I was at a PCA event at The Collection last week, I met the GM and told him I wanted a 996. He told me I "really wanted" to buy a new Cayman. If I wanted a Cayman, I'd be buying a Cayman. Guess where I won't be buying the 996?

That just pissed me off.

 

only thing I can add is that dealers even buy Porsches at auctions, expecially leased cars. I'd just make sure you had an ownership trail, etc.
