Bay Area (CA) Porsche Sales Folks--Recommendations

I already have someone at Rector, can you guys share your positive experiences with sales folks at the other dealers? There are quite a few around here, and I want to make sure they have my name in the queue for cars that are about to be traded in etc. I've done a search, but these things are not static.

Many thanks,

Seth

I absolutely cannot give a stronger recommendation than for Terry Erdei at Porsche of Livermore. After much hunting and working with several dealers, I bought my Turbo S with Terry. It's a bit of a drive over there, but Terry is one of the best dealers at any dealership I've worked with, period. You can tell him Arash sent you.

Agreed the Livermore crew is fantastic. I have not purchased a car from them but have met everyone in sales, they are very knowledgeable and honest. As for the service department, I can not say enough good things about them. They are very mod friendly.

This is a little off topic, but can Bay Area members chime in on the reputation of Sonnen Porsche in Mill Valley (Marin).

Agreed. The crew at Livermore is by far the best. The sales manager, Kevin, and the whole crew were a pleasure to work with.




STAY AWAY FROM PORSCHE OF STEVENS CREEK!!!!!!!!!!!

Perry Eyges at Michael Stead was great when my girlfriend was looking for a Cayman R.

I'd hate to contradict with my experience though, in fact, I was not able to find a "good" salesperson in the Bay Area and I ended up getting my car from LA for a much better discount and very good service.

However, I do concur that the Service department at Livermore is superb. Much better than Stevens Creek which I used to take my cars to.
