Looking for a "good" Porsche dealer

May be a little far out of Long Island, but Princeton Porsche is quite a nice dealer. My father is in the market for a new car (Possibly Porsche) and him and i went to check out what they had. The salesman was very nice, brought up some great deals, gave us his card, and sends frequent emails. They do have a load of Cayennes as well.

 

Porsche of Fairfield, Fairfield CT. Ask for Al Ventresca. Been there for many years, knows the brand unbelievably well. Bought several P Cars from him. Great service department. He even likes my 458.

 

Call Mark at Porshe in Huntington. He is good guy with no ego. Probably going to have to wait for a Cayanne.

 

Princeton Porsche seems to be pretty straight forward, just loved the close nit feel they have there. Also Ray Catena Porsche is great, got a few names there for you if needed as well. Best of luck

 

I've dealt with Ray Catena over the years and always found them helpful. I've never experienced any ego issues, regardless of the model I was looking at or even if was looking at some of their pre-owned inventory.

Manhattan , ask for Robert. Great place, its NYC no pretending.

 

I bought my GT3 back in '06 from Eric at Roslyn, which must be one of the dealers you didn't like. I contacted him last fall when I was looking for a 360 so he should still be there. I was very happy with the experience with him and the sales manager. They didn't exactly give me the car but nor were they dismissive of my various lowball offers during negotiations (which spanned about 4 weeks!) and the ultimate deal was fair all around, I thought.

 

I just walk in off the street with no appointment at Roslyn. It was a Saturday and they were busy. Waited around 10 minutes and spoke to Eric. He couldn't be more helpful. Test drove a Cayenne S. He followed up with a call and sent me pictures of the two tone interior. I understand how It can piss u off, It has happened to me at another dealer. Maybe just bad timing . Good luck in your search.

 

Paul Gavel over at Paul Miller Porsche in Parsippany, NJ is the best. 973-227-3000

 

You can always give Storms Porsche a try as well over in Southampton, if thats not to far for you.

 

Had a similar experience at Huntington, as have friends. Clearly we need them more than they need us!

 

Ace, give Lyndsey Goodale a call at Manhattan: not only is she very knowledgable and helpful, she is the Event Director for the Ferrari Owners Club - NorthEast Region. Perfect fit for a Tifosi looking for a Porsche, lol

 

It was Sept 2000 and I walked in to Paul Miller as a 30 yr old w my buddy to look at Porsches. The sales guy could not have been nicer! Told us to check everything out and sit in the cars.

When we sat down to talk with him we said we were surprised that he was so cool about talking to us and letting us poke around... he said 'you never know who walks in here... I assume anyone who talkes the time to walk in is a potential buyer'.

I walked out of there with my order written up for a $100k 2001 C4 Aero with GT3 style rims, wheel spacers and a Tech Art exhaust!!! They had the car delived to me in Hoboken via flatbed because it was snowing on the day I took delivery.

I loved that car! Sold it to a buddy who still wons it a few years back.

Unfortunately I don't think that sales guy is there any more... his name was Paul but the last name escapes me...


Wait... I just read one of the posts above... it was Paul Gavel!! Great guy!!!

 

Storms was terrible to me. Given i was looking at audi's at the time if that matters they wouldnt even give me the time of day....twice. Went the first time and pretty much got blown off, figured it was just a bad day. Same thing on the second go around. And i literally mean i was the ONLY person in there at the time

 

I bought a 2 year old Corvette. (I know this is a tread about Porsches). The sales guy was so excited for me to actually buy the car that he would show up at my house and help me wash it. And he was selling a lot of Corvettes at the time.

 

My father bought a Porsche from Jack Daniels back in the early 80s, he liked it then but I'm not sure what its like now.
