I had a terrible experience with Porsche Tysons Corner - marioec
I had a terrible experience with Porsche Tysons Corner and would not recommend this dealership to anyone shopping for a Porsche online.
I found a 2019 Porsche Carrera T listed on the official Porsche website as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle it also showed on there website as Certified Pre Owned. After two days of back-and-forth negotiations, mostly about the trade-in value of my 2018 BMW M3 (they were lowballing me), I asked for a written quote. To my surprise, they added a $1,985 “ceramic coating” charge — something I never requested and that was not disclosed earlier.
We went back and forth another day trying to get that unnecessary fee removed. When we were finally close to finalizing the deal — only about $1,000 apart — I called my local Porsche dealer in Miami to verify the certification status. They told me the car was not certified, even though it was clearly advertised as such and both Manager Nick Oneal and sales associate Kley had told me over the phone that it was. Carfax also showed the vehicle as “Certified Pre-Owned,” which is why I trusted the listing.
I was lucky to have called my local dealer before closing otherwise I would have bought under false pretenses. I encourage anyone considering purchasing from this dealership to do your homework: verify certification independently and watch for undisclosed add-on charges.
Between the false advertising about certification and the sneaky $1,985 ceramic coating fee, I feel completely misled from the beginning. This dealership was not transparent and wasted a lot of my time.
I will never do business with Porsche Tysons Corner again, and I strongly recommend others avoid this dealer and the shady manager who offered false advertisement and wasted my time.
