Congratulations! That is a fantastic deal and you got an incredible car! I drove the turbo S and was blown away how much better it was than my 997 Gen 2 turbo. I thought the 997.2 turbo was the best ever and could not be topped but the 991 turbo S is in another world! Congrats!

 

Thanks. It is the perfect car for what I wanted -- power with comfort and the most acceleration out there in an easy daily driver. I don't really track my cars. But I sure do drive them on the streets of New York City and surrounding areas. I need some ground clearance and some ride comfort. And massive acceleration when I want it. Always wanted a 911 Turbo since I was a kid. I'm 43. Not getting any younger so it was time to pull the trigger.

And I am going on Goldrush Rally 7 this June. I thought the 991 TTS would be perfect for that. Super fast but comfy enough for a cross country drive.

 

The turbo whoosh is addicting. Its explosive power is incredible. I sold it for the GT3. It was amazing and in all honesty, if I had the room, I would have kept it.

 

I get it. 3 911s is a lot unless you are Jay Leno. LOL.

 

It is staggering to see the lack of product knowledge some Porsche dealer sales people have. I was in Porsche of Newport Beach and the salesman there was an embarrassment. He could not answer questions he should have been able to answer regarding the GT3. I guess in-depth product knowledge isn't necessary.

 

Perhaps I expected too much. In my particular case at the Newport Beach Porsche, I wanted to make sure I was speaking with someone who knew the product. Maybe he does and maybe my questions were too difficult. I wasn't trying to catch him out but when I asked him how many gallons the extended range fuel tank was he didn't know. I am ok with him not knowing but he could have offered to look it up. When I continued to ask him stats on the car, he said he didn't know. I get it that perhaps not all sales people are as passionate about Porsche as everyone on this site but I prefer the person selling the 911 has some product knowledge especially when it comes to a GT3. Maybe I am off base and wrong.

 

Most but not all car salesmen are not worth a cup of warm ****. Most have little product knowledge and just want to move metal. At least that has been my experience in the BMW and MB worlds. I have only met one or two car salesmen who knew more than me about the cars I wanted.

The most knowledgeable car salesman I ever encountered worked at a BMW dealership and did not stay a salesman. He became a Sales Manager: Richard Marcus of Maserati of Bergen County. A complete car nut. Wish there were more like him.

 

Mr Hyde joined Dr. Jekkel in the garage this weekend!

Thrilled to say the least!

 

Just STUNNING

Congrats on the GT3!

 

I appreciate your reply. I agree. It would have been nice if he had put some effort in. His lack of professionalism helped guide my decision not to buy from the dealer.

 

Do they happen to have a White one for 30k off? Since we're in California, I believe were limited to purchasing from In-state dealers due to our strict emissions?

 

All new Porsches are 50 state legal regarding emissions and have been for over 10 yrs, so no need to limit yourself to CA

 

No doubt. I wouldn't buy anything car related in CA...they are silly on pricing. Save 10's of thousands--buy out of state.

 

Gt3...save 10s of thousands? LOL!

 

Of course not on GT3. HOWEVER, those silly CA dealers mark up a GT3 $10k over and you find an out of state dealer offering at MSRP, then yes, you just save $10k.
