Great experience purchasing remotely. Porsche Bellevue in the Seattle area has a great, great service department. Brett Payne from Sonnen has been great to work with as I look to complete my search this time around.
recently got my GTS from Scott. Great guy to work with.

Need to clarify this one for you Spyerx....Walters is GREAT for service but their sales department sucks (wouldn't even let me put my name down for a GT4 or an RS earlier this year).

Here in the nations capital I have no less than five dealers in a 10 mile radius and another 4-5 in a half hours drive to Baltimore/Annapolis but most of my cars come from out of state. That said, most recent car came from Wallingford by way of my local, Porsche of Rockville. After 5 porsches, i finally bought one from my local. the sales mgr Michael was very helpful and transparent. very aggressive pricing. i'd do it again. Tysons historically have been difficult. my business partner has had good success with Porsche of Silver Spring.
Years ago i did a deal with Princeton porsche and Braman, but both of those Sales/General managers have moved on

Try getting a GT3RS or GT4 at msrp. The dealership that gets you that will be by far the best one to buy any other car.

Porsche of Destin is unmatched.

I was also impressed with the brief service I had with Braman Porsche of Palm Beach, Florida.


On the other end we should also call out the scum. Porsche of Arlington, Virginia has the biggest scumbag service department imaginable. They tried to scam me out of $12,000 dollars while I was on my way to another combat tour in Iraq. Luckily I sensed the scam and pulled my car immediately out of their garage before they "repaired" it.

Yup Porsche of Destin just offered a GT4 allocation at MSRP yesterday to locals - said they rather sell to us than some car flipper in California. I like that.

Wow - Porsche of Arlington did that. I went there once recently, no one came up to me to say hi - I do wonder if they got scared of my friend (he is in beard phase at the moment - has long unruly beard) with me who is a Marine.

But I do drive by them regularly - for years they didn't even have a real sign. I mean Toyota Dealership next to it has a real sign. Sure now the dealership has a building and all, but makes me wonder on how they get Dealership award (unless the award is given out to increase more sales etc). I always got the uneasy feeling about them from a distance, and I won't do business with anyone who tries to scam our Service men and women.

I know one shouldn't judge a book by a cover, but scam for $12K is crazy

not surprised. Porsche of arlington used to be Heishmans. in the old days they were topnotch, chick stanton was a stand up salesman. totally third rate dealership now. years ago they tried to sell me a 911rsa that not only wasn't on their lot, but had been damaged in transit. looking back i should have bought it and held on, but who knew back in the 90's.

i can agree with your experience at Rizza. my GF got 2 from them in the last few years and Aaron is great to work with, as is Paul. they also have a very good service department that has taken excellent care of her.

my GF had 2 similar fantastic experiences at Rizza. Aaron and Paul were great, and Bob in service has also been fabulous. she got 2 great cars at excellent prices and has a solid relationship with them now.
