My dealership experience

[911boost]

Interesting, I had to look up and read what PSCB brakes were. Shows how much I know about newer Porsche technology.

For my 997.2 with PCCB's I picked up a like new set of rotors (1,800 street miles) for all four corners for $10K a few years ago and have them stored in a wooden crate in my basement in the event I ever wear our the ceramics on my car.

I still use the local dealership for my annual oil change and look over, but it has been sold to the Indigo Auto Group and I am betting this will be the last time i go in there for service. I am curious to see if I will get the same kind of service all of you are mentioning from the big dealers. Ryan my service writer is still there, so there is that.

This package seems like a good deal especially considering air-cooled Turbo calipers are $1200 each.

Yeah that's a fair price I wish it was 5x112mm

To answer Masaum's question on what type of dealership. It is a large and diversified dealership. Multi location. Mostly domestic but they have some luxury brands as well.

Nope. It's always something isn't it!

Ok, so it's one of those family things where they've been successful enough that they now have several locations and are selling a bunch of different Makes. And the high margin is across all of the makes, I guess. Wow!

Local dealers are our best marketing tool, and its free for them to market for us....

That said, we do spend a ton of $$$ with the local Porsche Dealer parts department.

They run the Audi/VW bolt pattern.

YIKES.

That is a number that stuck with me.

That is pretty common for the industry. But I think he meant GP not Margin....
