Seeking a "Honest" Porsche dealer in South Florida
I am about two months away (maybe 3 if the werewife insists on regular meals) from having the funds in hand to plunk down on a 996. I am looking for any recommendations on honest P-car dealers in the Fort LAuderdale, FL area. There are a ton of places selling Porsches here, but way too many of them seem to be staffed by sleazy used car salesmen who don't think RMS is something their wife gets once a month. If anyone has had good luck witha dealer here, like maybe Champion Porsche, please let me know so I can get started on the hunt. Thanks a lot.

The salesmen at Champion think they are the ones buying the cars, not selling sell-- they don't give you the time of day unless you are buying a car right then and there.
I would suggest heading up to Braman in West Palm (Okeechobie blvd). Chip Davis is a great guy, he'll definately help you out.

I got a screaming deal on an 02 C2 coupe from the New Auto Toy Store. Ask for Doug. Champion is staffed by a bunch of snobs who would do thenselves well to read this board!

This is exactly the advice I was hoping for. Thank you Very Much!
It's best to hear from guys who have "been there"

Mike, Thanks. I think I just spoke to him about a C4 he is geting in.
By the way, I was at a PCA event at The Collection last week, I met the GM and told him I wanted a 996. He told me I "really wanted" to buy a new Cayman. If I wanted a Cayman, I'd be buying a Cayman. Guess where I won't be buying the 996?
That just pissed me off.

only thing I can add is that dealers even buy Porsches at auctions, expecially leased cars. I'd just make sure you had an ownership trail, etc.
