Any forum members have experience buying a car from Momentum Porsche in Houston, Texas? Any replies would be appreciated. Thx in advance.

I bought my baby from there! They gave me top dollar for my trade site unseen. gave me an excellent deal on my 08. I would recommend them. I never had service done or had any further dealings with them.

Good luck

 

thx so much for the info, pm sent

 

They totally mis-represented a used 996TT I was looking at 4 years ago.....and even when called on it, kept doing it looking for a sucker. Service is so-so.

I guess I'd be OK buying a new car, not a used one.

 

wow thx for the info...i have tried to contact them by email and had it undeliverable...left a message with the appropriate person yesterday with no call back yet

 

it's amazing this stuff goes on in a Porsche dealership; you MIGHT expect this from Chevrolet, but definitely not Porsche! sign of the times i guess?

 

I often hear this. If it is a domestic dealer or a lesser of a product than it is ok to expect a sh*tty service.
I can say that It is not OK to expect anything less than what you should get from anyone if they want your business.
I would love to own a GTI for example but most of the dealerships in my area have a terrible customer service so i have not owned one. I also love the EVO but the same issue... It all comes down to the service after the sale.

 

the industry is know for these types of problems, whether it is a chevy or a ferrari

my main interest is in knowing whether i can trust this dealership to give me info re a used car that i would have to buy sight unseen

 

I went there to test drive a few used Porsche's a few months back, and the sales guy redlined the engine 30 seconds after starting the car from cold. So, don't buy a used from them...

Momentum is a big dealership with many brands, so you should be getting pretty good trade in value from them.

GL!

 

wow that is good information, thx for the reply

 

Apparently there is a big difference between the West (I10) dealer and the South West (I 59) dealer... I would not recommend at all the later for many reasons, but I was told the former is pretty good and decent...

 

West Houston is my dealer, they have always treated me well, the service dept is outstanding. Having said that I would be cautious with all used car dealers in Houston.

 

lots of sage advice

i left 3 messages for the pre owned sales manager since saturday

no call back

they are off my list despite my curiosity and like of one of their cars

i will look elsewhere

thx to all

 

It's a bit of a haul, but I'd recommend going up to see the guys at Porsche North Houston.

I went to both Sonic-owned (Momentum and W. Houston) and got marginally knowledgeable salespeople. In fact, one of the guys at Momentum was selling Land Rovers just 2 months ago! One other guy tried to convince me some standard features on the S and TT were paid options. I had him pull up the build sheet and he finally admitted he was mistaken.

I ended up going to N. Houston and will make that drive 100x to deal with these true Porsche enthusiasts that know their stuff. The price I got there was MUCH better than the prices for lower-spec cars at the other 2 Houston dealerships. The guys are nice and know their stuff.

They are the only Premier dealership in Houston (Park Place in Dallas being the only other one in TX, I think).

If you are looking for new or pre-owned, go up there. They are a smaller dealership so their pre-owned inventory isn't as extensive, but they can probably get anything you want. It's worth the wait, I promise!

 

Also, go up and see Rodger Gay in sales. He sold me my car this last Saturday and it was an exceedingly pleasant experience.
