Has anyone in the tri-state area dealt with either Pepe (White Plains) or New Country (Greenwich) Porsche dealers? I'm trying to decide which one to do business with and would appreciate any input - good or bad. Thank you.

I think I recommended Manhattan Motorcars to you when you asked about NY METRO dealers a couple of months ago. I like Manhattan Motorcars as well. They have a great allocation too which is key. I've dealt with them and have been there many times and have always been treated right. One of the main draw backs is their location though. Having to deal with driving your new car in and out of Manhattan is a big bummer. And although the facility has some of the greatest makes around it's floor on top of each floor without any room outside to drive up into a nice parking spot is another big negative. For me anyway.

I have gotten 3 cars thru a man named Aldo Cammara at New Country Porsche. He is a very good guy and a straight shooter. Curtis is the sales manager there and gets involved in every sale and is a supper nice guy. They take care of returning customers very well also. Annie in service is the best! Although I will say as hard as she works there service department is still under staffed. If you feel like you want to call them tell Aldo that Josh Weisman told you to call. I have bought a C2s and a Cayan thru him and been very happy both times.

i've delt extensively with the dealers in this area.
the sales departments in this area are genearlly tough to deal with, its much easier to get discounts from new jersey dealers.
here is a short description of each dealer from my dealings, free free to PM me, im happy to discuss them in more detail.
* pepe are especially aweful they are incompetant and can't do their jobs properly.
the parts and service seem slightly better than the sales, but not by much. ive had nothing but bad experiences, and it has made me hate this dealer.
(PM me for details)
stay away from pepe at all costs.
buid a relationship with a dealer that actually cares.
i cannot stress that enough, i know at least a dozen people who have been screwed by them, and not just on little things.
* new country - greenwhich are alright, their sales are willing to do some bargaining, but again, not as much.
service is all outsourced and is low quality. - beware of people who have no idea of what they are talking about, esepcially when its their job.
* fairfield is genearlly the best for service in this area. i get all my pcars serviced there and will continue to do so for years to come.
their sales department has been revamped lately, and the new staff are much better than the old.
the new sales manager is a great guy, john resnik. transfered from new country recently.
fairfield is the best in this area when it comes to service
* danbury porsche is OK, they have a spanking new facility, very nice, but the service and sales are mediocre at best. they overcharge on parts. their sales department is unwilling to deal, except on used cars, but are very friendly...

while there are enthusiats here, i will go out on a limb and generalize that many people walk into the dealers around here, merc, bmw, etc buying status cars.
so the dealers themselves don't have to be too enthusiastic or have extensive expertise. in many instances, the guy in charge of ordering cars just orders cookie cutter cars, and when you need him to do something special, he has no idea about the intricacies of the system.
this sort of imcompetance is everywhere, up and down the dealers' chains of command. however, after sales, and when it comes to service. i have no complaints about Porsche of fairfield.
