Good experience ordering and receiving new vehicle We ordered our Macan through the dealership back at the end of December, with a scheduled delivery at the end of March.

The person (Bart) who helped us with the test drives and ordering left the dealership in the interim (Bart had been very helpful to us). During our wait for the vehicle, the responsibility for our account moved to John Bassett - who was also helpful, keeping us informed of progress (eventually the vehicle turned up 3 weeks early - while we were out of town). When we returned to pick-up the vehicle we met John, and he guided us through the remainder of the process - perhaps 2-3 hours to complete the paperwork (Gary Miller) and a short overview of the features of the vehicle (John Bassett).

My Porsche purchase involved both a good and a bad side! In general, I have long been very satisfied with the service I've received from, and my relationship with, the staff at Porsche Monterey. My one excep In general, I have long been very satisfied with the service I've received from, and my relationship with, the staff at Porsche Monterey. My one exception to that has to do with my dealings with the current general manager of the organization. As to my recent purchase of the 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S, all went well with the current staff I was involved with, with the exception of the General Manager, Aaron Zielinski. John Bassett, Director of Internet Sales, with whom I worked directly with in my purchase of the vehicle, was very helpful, personable and professional in the handling of the upfront purchase price negotiations, with approvals from Mr. Zielinski, and in the delivery of the vehicle to me upon consummation of the transaction. However, upon arrival at the dealership on February 16, 2017, to consummate the purchase transaction, Mr. Zielinski had reneged on the previously agreed to purchase price for the vehicle, and he was attempting to charge me in excess of $14,000 more for the vehicle. After subsequent heavy face-to-face verbal pressure from me, I was ultimately able to get that discrepancy corrected to my satisfaction. It would definitely be a pleasure to again work with Mr. Bassett in the course of any future car purchases from Porsche Monterey, or from any other car dealership organization with whom he might be associated with in the future. However, I can't say now the same for Mr. Zielinski. More

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would go 11. My car buying experience was everything you need and nothing you don't.

John knows the products he sells and he deals with his customers in a very relaxed and informative way. I joked that I was ready to buy a second Cayenne but was a little short on cash. It was the kind of car buying experience you want but don't always get. Thanks John. I would recommend you to anyone who has ears. More

Great Purchase Experience at Porsche of Monterey I went in to try to Porsche of Monterey just to extend the warranty on my 2012 C2S Cabriolet. Unfortunately, there was no program available from Pors I went in to try to Porsche of Monterey just to extend the warranty on my 2012 C2S Cabriolet. Unfortunately, there was no program available from Porsche to extend on a CPO vehicle; so Ray Ramsey told me the solution was simple: buy a new one! I said that was a possibility, and expressed interest in the new 718S Caymans and Boxsters, so Ray allowed me to go look at the inventory. I very much appreciated that there was no pressure, no hovering and a very relaxed approach. Ray also pointed out a 2016 Cayman GTS, one of the last of it's type (naturally aspirated) with 800 miles and a CPO vehicle, on the showroom floor. I looked at all of them, and told Ray I would have to come back with my lovely wife to look again, and to drive the picks of the litter. When we went back the next day, Ray wasn't there, so we worked with John Bassett, an enthusiastic, energetic and knowledgeable salesman. Again, no push or pressure, except to drive and experience the cars. The Cayman GTS was the one that struck our fancy, partially because it was so unique...but it was buried in the showroom behind about 5 other cars. No problem! In a few minutes, they moved them all, and let the two of us take a drive in the GTS. What a phenomenal car! The best driving experience I've ever had; and all thanks to John, who has racing experience and also knew Melody's uncle Olaf Andersson, a racer at Laguna Seca, 50 year resident of Monterey, and former owner of Scandia Volvo dealership. They gave us a great deal, and we bought the car on the spot. It's the first car that I've purchased with never a moment of buyer's remorse. We both love it; and our hats off to Ray, John and Aaron for actually making it a fun experience, and reducing the process pain as much as possible. Great dealership to buy and service your Porsche. Tom p.s. never thought I'd own a GTS...a truly amazing beast of a car! So much fun! More

We drove down from San Francisco so he made sure he had everything ready for us to maximize our time there and get us back on the road as soon as possible with our new car.
