Bob is one of our Brand Ambassadors here at Walter's Porsche and a good one at that! That is why he stays so busy here at work but when he slips out the door for some down time he enjoys playing Ocean Sports, golfing, shooting, music and his grand kids. In fact, Bob has a home recording studio and says he spent the first 25 years of his life playing music and fooling with cars. Given a choice of vacation spots to watch a Arizona Sun Devils game, Bob would choose to return to Hawaii where he lived for twelve years but says any tropical getaway will suffice. Listed as his favorite Porsche's are the 1973 Carrera RS Lightweight and the race car 908.03. Be sure to say hello to Bob when you stop in to Walter's Porsche.

Exceptional does not begin to describe the service I received from Ed McRae and Bob McDonald at Walter’s Porsche in Riverside. My experiences with Bob and Ed began in November 2012, when a new Boxster received from Ed McRae and Bob McDonald at Walter’s Porsche in Riverside. My experiences with Bob and Ed began in November 2012, when a new Boxster S was delivered to an event I was attending. I had been interested in ordering a 2012 Cayman R from another dealer, but the experience was so unpleasant that I postponed doing anything. My November conversation with Bob and Ed was encouraging and I asked to be notified when the 2014 Cayman S would be available. A short time after our meeting I received and email from Bob McDonald inviting me to Porsche’s invitation only world reveal of the new Cayman/Cayman S before the LA Auto Show. At the reveal, Ed explained the steps necessary to order the Cayman S of my dreams – a remarkably simple and reasonable process. On December 25th Bob McDonald sent an email saying Porsche was accepting orders for the 2014 Cayman S. After a couple of conversations to explain options and administrative details, Bob submitted my order for a Guards Red Cayman S. The car was anticipated to be at Walter’s in late April. During the four months waiting period, I received email updates from Bob McDonald and had a couple of conversation with Ed McRae. As anticipated my Guards Red 2014 Cayman S arrived on April 26. It is particularly impressive in all of my conversations with Ed and Bob; they were always on the same page. The details were always the same whether Ed or Bob was talking. This continuity of details was particularly appreciated when completing the paperwork. The paperwork took a reasonable amount of time and everything was clearly communicated. When everything was done Bob spent approximately 20-30 minutes explaining the features of the car including importing the phone book from my iPhone into the phone system of the Cayman S. Bob’s communication style was unhurried and thorough. It has been nearly 2 weeks since I picked up the Cayman S. The 2014 Cayman S is more than anticipated at any time during this process. The service received from Ed McRae and Bob McDonald at Walter’s Porsche was exceptional. If you are considering a Porsche, talk with Bob or Ed. More

I've now leased or bought 5 Porsches from Walters since 2007. I've dealt with Bob McDonald every time. He's the best salesman I've met in 40 years of car buying. Friendly, knowledgable, and low ke since 2007. I've dealt with Bob McDonald every time. He's the best salesman I've met in 40 years of car buying. Friendly, knowledgable, and low key. He answers every question but refrains from any degree of "pushiness." Sales manager Pete Laban and General Manager Ed McRae are also outstanding. When I walk into Walter's I don't feel like I'm a customer - I feel like I'm a friend. Their prices are competitive and their customer service is exemplary. More

I just purchased a 2013 911 S cab from Bob McDonald at Walter's Porsche in Riverside. I can honestly say that Bob made it the best car buying experience I've ever had. Not only did I get a great price (be Walter's Porsche in Riverside. I can honestly say that Bob made it the best car buying experience I've ever had. Not only did I get a great price (better than other So. Cal. Dealers) but Bob assisted me in selecting options, kept me informed of when my car was built (I ordered it) and when I could expect delivery. Once it arrived, Bob spent about two hours going over the car with me. If you're looking at buying a Porsche, you won't find a more knowledgeable and helpful salesperson than Bob McDonald. More

In my search to buy a 2013 911S, I contacted via e-mail 6 dealers in the Southern California area and asked if they would submit an offer for the car and options as I had listed. Many of the dealers respond dealers in the Southern California area and asked if they would submit an offer for the car and options as I had listed. Many of the dealers responded that they don't do business via e-mail. I explained that I had a very busy work schedule and needed to narrow down the list of dealers that were willing to work with me. One dealer told me that I was located in their "Area of Responsibility" and that I had to buy from them. Another dealer told me to go and knock myself out and get my best deal and then come in and sit down and they would let me know if they would match the deal. Kevin Smith at Walter's replied to me and said that he appreciated my limited time and that he would be happy to work with me via e-mail. He quickly priced out the car and gave me the price which he would sell me the car. No other dealer came close in price and matched his professionalism. I called him to set an appointment to come in and get my order entered. Kevin was very helpful in assisting me configure the optiions to better meet my needs. Kevin then kept me posted via e-mail as to the build progress and notified me when it shipped from Germany. Upon its arrival, Bob McDonald e-mailed me to to set up the delivery. Bob was very proficient and knowledgeable. In no time, I was driving my new 911S home. Walter's is about 35 miles from my office. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about a new Porsche, check these guys out. I have bought many cars through the years and many performance weekend cars. This was one of the easiest deals. More
