Avoid this dealership - Judgmental Sales Staff
Written by 12/15/2021
onOn a whim, based on the elevated prices of used cars (I looked up my vehicle), I decided to upgrade to a Porsche. I found a used 2020 Cayenne with low mileage at Champion. I was well prepared to purchase when I went to the dealership. I had a high-value trade-in, several thousand in cash and preapproved financing.
John Schaefer, salesman, responded to my email inquiry to confirm the vehicle was on the lot. I scheduled a test drive, drove the vehicle, and immediately decide to purchase. I provided John with all my financial items (trade-in, cash and approved financing). An initial offer came back with a low-ball offer for the trade-in; which he agreed was low based on his search on KBB and Edmonds. I realized it was just the beginning point in negotiations. He asked, and I advised, what my comfort zone was. I also let him know I had to leave, and if he could get with his manager and come back with a better offer. I asked him to call me. He responded indicating I had his number, and to call him. I called the next day and left him a voicemail - no response. I called the following day and left 2 voicemails - no response.
At that point I located another vehicle at Porsche West Broward (I highly recommend them). I took the long drive there, and closed a deal later that day for a newer, nicer, and more expensive vehicle.
Advice to potential Champion Porsche customers: Wear a tux with lots of accoutrements or they will not give you the time of day or the courtesy of call back. (I wore shorts and a t-shirt). I guess they can afford to blow off an $80K+ sale. Instead go to West Broward Porsche - they do not have a dress code nor do they judge you based on your appearance.
