Guys- I am a former employee of Northlake Porsche + Audi- just to clarify a previous post-Northlake was purchased by Jim Ellis in 1982 & remains one of the top dealers in the country- the deal about selling their last Turbo for $100K is close to true (I think it was more like $75K) with an explanation- Porsche made a limited edition run of their last 50 cars coming to the US & had the dealers compete in a contest to see which of the 200 or so dealers would get the last 50 cars- Almost every dealer that was getting one put an ad in Autoweek & the phone rang off the hook-Northlake's car was Red/Tan & bought by a guy named Ken Dorfman from Chicago- he wired the money & sent a truck to pick it up. Peter Gregg did buy the former Taurus Porsche + Audi as a result of the previous owner,Elwyn Tomlinson (Capital Cadillac) being killed by a drunk driver & requiring his wife to divest the dealership since she did not meet their ownership requirements. His widow sold it in the early 90's & it eventually morphed into Hennessey Porsche reopening the second point in the Atlanta market.
