My Review of Pacific Porsche:
I came into the dealership for service on the digital display on my 2001 Boxster, and spoke with Richard, whom I have interacted with on a previous car for sale. We were just talking about available cars, and he directed me to a 2004 911 Anniversary Edition. I told him that I'm not exactly interested in buying a car but I would consider it. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and I had a good rapport with him from previous experiences. He told me that this was a rare car, only 1963 made, and the price was lowered (in the really low market of January 2009) from $50,000 to $42,000 and he showed me actual records of the steady price decline. As the car only had 23,000 miles, I accepted and we made a deal with the trade in of the Boxster.
To this day I am thankful for my experience, and thankful to Richard, who clearly is an excellent salesperson. I highly recommend Pacific Porsche not only for sales, but for service as well.

My Review of Pacific Porsche:
I bought a new Porsche at Pacific about 3&1/2 years ago and recently traded that vehicle in and leased a new Porsche. In between I came in numerous times to explore possible deals and just to see what was new, product-wise, or certified used Porsches for sale, etc.. Every time in between I walked out with time spent by Richard and the other sales staff with no deal done because I was not ready for anything they had available at that time. I have also had the servicing done on my Porsche here (there has just been routine servicing, no problems). My experience with Service has been excellent, the service staff and mechanics are professional but friendly and informative. They have not tried to sell me unnecessary services, and have accommodated my scheduling needs and transportation needs very well. My sales experience has also been satisfactory--the primary salesman I have interfaced with, Richard Presley, is professional, patient, friendly and not pushy. He worked with me to arrive at the most sensible pathways. On the vehicle I recently leased, Richard was out of the office for a while and I worked with another salesman, Mike Tunney, and he also treated me the same way. The two of them seemed to coordinate matters very smoothly also after Richard returned to the store. The General Manager, Carl Tofflemire, has also been appropriately attentive in the course of my dealings there. Also, the F&I office (Angie and Christine) has been professional and straightforward, not pushy, about add-ons such as clear bra, Lojack, etc.

As far as transaction prices, value on trade-in, etc. I feel that Pacific has been fair with me and I have no complaints. I don't think Pacific views itself as a bargain basement type of store so someone looking for absolutely the cheapest deal may find other places more attractive, but again I feel Pacific is very professional, very fair, and has great continuity of personnel and attitude. And by the way, let's not forget that the Porsche Cayman S I had before and the current Carrera S Cabriolet are magnificent sports cars of the highest quality. What a great brand!

My Review of Pacific Porsche:
When I was searching for this particular car, Richard made the car buying experience a joy. We were welcomed in the showroom right on the spot. My brother, and I looked, and test drove our car. To anyone who is interested in buying a Porsche, or any vehicle on the lot make an appointment with Mr Presley.
