I'm almost more curious about which dealer he went to (we have 3 in the GTA, all with varying reputations) than the car itself.
Great question. I checked out all 3 - Pfaff Porsche (Woodbridge), Oakville Porsche (Oakville) and Downtown Porsche (Downtown Toronto). I bought my previous Boxster and Cayman at Pfaff Porsche from the same salesman. I live 5 minutes away from Downtown Porsche and was curious about Oakville Porsche which is brand new.
Oakville Porsche: Brand new HUGE dealership. Gorgeous inside with lots of stock on the floor. Pleasant salespeople. About 50km drive from my home. Liked them a lot and almost bought from them. They were friendly and very responsive to all my questions.
Downtown Porsche: Georgraphically it should have been where I bought it. The dealership is only 5 minute drive from my house. I could walk home if I had my car in for service. But, they're a real mixed bag. I used to use them for minor service stuff with the Cayman and sometimes you got good people and sometimes you left mad. Stuff like, they won't plug a tire and insists you buy a new one (Official Porsche policy, yet Pfaff and Oakville have zero problem safely plugging.) Or they couldn't fix a problem in 3 tries that Pfaff would fix on the first. And when I went in to test drive a 981 and 991 I was told there were no 991s available for test drive (bullsh*t!) and to come back to test the 981 when I was
really serious.
Pfaff Porsche: Where I ended up buying from. Really friendly atmosphere. Great sales guy. He facilitated the flow-through nicely and didn't make me do any running around at all with paper work. He even dropped off documents and plates at my house. My 3rd Porsche I bought from him and it felt good. He gave me a very good price (won't say because TCL will always say you got ripped off no matter what you paid) and was just a pleasure to work with. They are also 50km away but have a free valet service and loaner for any time the car needs to be serviced. Also test driving - he would just hand me the key to Porsche after Porsche and just say yeah, take 'em out see what you think. In total I test drove a 981 manual, 981S PDK, 991 manual, 991 C4S manual, and two different 991 PDKs. Each time just by myself or with my girlfriend out for 30 minutes at a time. Very cool of them.
