I have purchased new Porsches before, but this was my first at this dealer and worst car buying experience everIn my perception, this dealer maintains unpublished/non-prior communicated policies that manifest as negative surprises at the point of purchaseThe most significant to me being that they would not immediately accept a pre-approve echeck from one of the largest auto lenders in the country that focuses on serving members of the military It was explained to me that if one uses this lender for financing, one must wait 7-days for the echeck to clear the dealer's bank accountI know many people that have used this lender and never encountered such an issue, however it would have lessened my negative experience significantly had this policy been communicated to me in advance- whether published on their web site, or by the dealer who knew I was using this lender before I came in to complete the purchaseInstead, they pressured me to utilize their own financing which had significantly higher pricing, but would have allowed me to accept delivery of the vehicle that dayIt's not clear to me if this was just a high-pressure sales tactic for the dealer to gain higher commissions, but I expected more from a dealership selling high in carsI recommend getting this dealers policies in writing from them in advanceOtherwise, you may have the surprise of leaving the car sitting on the dealer's lot for the first week you own it
