I've been asked what dealers/dealerships I would feel
comfortable recommending. The following are dealers
that I've had some intercourse (of the non-sexual) kind
and find knowledgeable, helpful, and not pushy. I have
not bought from all of them, but do appreciate the
efforts they make in selling their cars, both on ebay
and online. I do not get any kickbacks, you don't have
to say you heard it here, and, again, I have not bought
from them (except Chris). Just that I like them
personally. (Unless noted, these are general
dealerships....will note those that specialize in
Porsches). Of course, there are dozens of dealerships
that I don't include due to pushiness, lack of
knowledge, deception, or just general sleaziness. But I
don't have the time to do a blacklist. Sorry.

Hey, I bought my car from him so you know that he's
ok.

Beautiful showroom, nice selection. No pressure. Just
like I like it. Had a beautiful RSR in the window.
Looking forward to a special get-together later this
year. Will post details. Artie Hoffman's a real
gentleman! And they are a big supporter of the PCA and
our local zone! Huzzah!

Specializes in a general inventory. Good pictures
and descriptions. We talked Porsches and he has a good
handle on them. Likes whaletails. Well, can't win them
all! Me, I was never a fan of the tea trays. Had a
beautiful 993 that I regret I didn't buy. Actually, he
has it back. Too late for me. Speed Yellow 993
Tiptronic. I would jump on it!

Love his listings. Nice interesting stock. Knows
his stuff. I do think he's a bi† high on prices, but
better good cars than cheap bad cars. I am a little
surprised at their re-listing of cars. Guess their
reserves are too high.

Mostly Hi-Line vehicles. But have a selection of
Porsches. Milan is a very nice guy, very familiar with
Porsches and has had many. Great to talk to.
Will add more. Know a lot of places but have never
dealt with them. Like Weissach, Holt, and others. Some
very overpriced but good dealers. I like guys that know
how to present their cars, price them accordingly, and
are not pushy assholes. Talking to sellers is a great
way to see whether they are high pressure know-nothing
assholes or generally good resources.

Actually, I originally listed them but saw many, many
warnings on Rennlist of the dealership. A friend was
contacted by their principal and was offered a low
amount for his car. Considering that they would
probably add at least Ten Thousand Dollars to the price
if they resold (but they are businesspeople, I guess) I
wonder about them. Please check out Rennlist to get
further details. Shame.
