Terry's job v3.0

[TerryBPP]

I was just offered and accepted a position at the new Porsche of Fort Myers openening December 1st 2010!

I know the team and should be a great place. Very low pressure, friendly guys. Love the idea of be part of a brand new store. The focus will be on low mileage preowned as well as new Porsches. The Store is gorgeous.

......did I mention Derek Bell (thats right LeMans baby) is a part owner and will be there all the time! Met him Wednesday, super nice guy.

What happened to the used car store? That seemed like a cool gig.

Private financing drying up plus change in priorities by the owner, basically came down to my own income potential. Plus I get full benifits and 401k.

The new Pcar store will have 3 times the inventory, plus performance service & the benefit of inventory exchange with the 5 other highline stores the company owns (Bentley, Ferrari, Aston, Rover). So our inventory will include more than just pcars.

It was a no brainer for me.

Totally understood. Sounds like a lot of fun, what car guy wouldn't love playing with Porsches, Ferraris, etc on a daily basis?

A guy who likes to make enough money to play with his own

Congrats on the move up!

Terry, I don't know what you were doing before you decided to go out on your own, but it seems like in 2 years or less and you've earned a good spot.

Terry's approach is slightly more realistic, not many of us have the means to afford a new Porsche or Ferrari. At least not without selling my house, wife and kids.

With any luck I'll be able to do both.

What? Sell your wife and kids?

good luck......personally i like playing with the older air cooled 911's, i doubt you'll see much of them at a dealer......but, give me a few more years at this game and we'll see what direction i take with it, i've really gotten good with the 996's........and am getting familiar with the direct injection cars

I'm in sales not a tech. I couldn't imagine doing mechanical work on the 997s and like.

I've heard that the 996s are becoming more DIY. Would be neat to see some hot rodded version come out soon.

Oh ok.....for some reason I thought you were wrenching.....
I got to get up close and personal with dereks lemans 962 years ago, it was in a private collection in pittsburgh......let me dig through some pics......
