Porsche of Peoria

My wife and I have purchased several Porsches over the years. Both from authorized Porsche dealers and from individuals. I saw a used Macan on their website and noticed they added a lojack and ceramic paint protection that added $5k to the price. Like vin etching, undercoating, fabric protects and extended warranties. Does Your Car Need Undercoating? - Consumer Reports < good explanation of the common dealer scams used today these are not necessary. I saw a car they had and offered to pay full price in cash less the lojack and ceramic coating as I did not want or need them. They said both has been already install and refused my offer, so I moved on. A couple weeks or so later they contacted me. I said I was interested in the Macan but as I said the last time I talked to them, I would not pay for the lojack and ceramic and I was told it was already installed. The salesperson said he would talk the GM and I was told a few days later the lojack and ceramic was not added to the car and they would accept my offer. I ended up not purchasing the vehicle and I sent them a letter explaining their practices were a little shady. I don’t want to give a dealer that uses those techniques my money knowing it will just encourage them to continue those practices. I cant even imagine how shady their service department is. I have the option as everyone does to spend their money and give profit to companies that at least try to be reasonably honest. If one part of the business, let’s say the sales department, is willing to take advantage of their customers what would make you think any part of their business would not do the same. This morning I get an email – Under new management. Not a surprise but I would not hang my hat that anything has changed. Under every car a lojack is still included in the price. I would not do business with anyone who forces a customer to buy a product they don’t want and they make about $1000 off every lojack sold. There are much better dealers out there!
