On a plus note my salesguy at the Porsche dealership that I bought my IS-F and 911 from knows his stuff. He said all the sales people are sent to Porsche driving school regularly and get to test drive various models.
When I was test driving my 911 he was giving me a bunch of driving tips and showing me what all the buttons and stuff do. Now that was a great salesman! No BS, no hassle, knows his stuff  |
I can believe that, as I've had a similar experience. Porsche is truly a different breed of dealership. I was talking to the salesman about working for Porsche and he explained the training he had to go through. I believe he said there was even a Porsche specific school/course he had to attend? You definitely won't find a run of the mill salesman working at one of those dealers. The Porsche people know their product. And like you had said, there was no pressure at all. When my mom was ordering her new Cayenne, the salesman went as far as explaining what options she didn't need or were a "waste of money" versus ones that would be worth the additional cost. As I'm sure you're well aware, with Porsche, you literally pay for EVERY additional option..the vehicles come with basically nothing!
