Sam's Auto Consulting


Hear what our clients have to say. 


"Sam helped me find the very best deal on a new vehicle because of his connections.  I could not have been able to find this deal without his knowledge – the very essence of value from a broker.  His value has gone beyond connecting me to a good deal however – he has helped me understand how to import a car from a different state without running into any roadblocks. Thank you Sam!"

-Simon T.



​"I went from knowing nothing about a Porsche, other than the brand, to purchasing a new Cayenne and having it shipped to me within a few weeks.  This was only possible with Sam hand-holding me through the entire process, providing me his deep experience to help me through the dizzying array of options.  In the end, we found the car I wanted at an LA dealer, and Sam negotiated a 9% discount off the MSRP.  Furthermore, he helped arrange the shipment up to NorCal.  Finally, he smoothed over many of the bumps-in-the-road caused by buying the car sight unseen from a distant dealership.  I highly recommend acquiring Sam’s consulting services to be your partner in the exciting but daunting car-buying journey."

-Alan T.



​"I had the benefit of enlisting Sam’s assistance with my Porsche Cayenne purchase. He was instrumental in guiding me through some of the key options I should consider, and weighing the trade-offs since I couldn’t justify all of the options I had wanted. Sam’s patience in helping me understand the buying process was instrumental to my finding the exact vehicle I was looking for. His rolodex of Porsche sales associates across the country whom he contacted on my behalf to negotiate the best price was the reason I got a great deal. Thank you Sam, for an incredibly pleasant purchase experience of my first Porsche."

​"The process was made easy by Sam’s thorough communication, quick response, and attention to details. Highly recommend."

"When I was looking to purchase either a CPO or new Cayenne I found it very difficult to negotiate with my local dealerships and went to Rennlist to help determine what a reasonable price to pay was.  It was through that search that I found Sam.  I contacted him, and for a very reasonable fee, he helped me secure a significantly higher discount on a new Cayenne that I could actually spec myself.  He put me in touch with a dealership I would have never considered on my own and he also helped guide me on using PEC to both have a good time and decrease my shipping costs.  By using Sam I was able to save thousands of dollars and get a car spec'd the way I really wanted."

"Sam is amazing. I love cars, but the process of purchasing one can be pretty draining. Insert Sam here! Sam is an absolute enthusiast which makes the process that much more entertaining, yes I said it: entertaining. Being picky with the specs I like, I always seem to be hunting for a unique configuration that isn't sitting on every dealer's lot. Sam has searched far and wide to help find exactly what I'm looking for and better yet, at a price that makes sense for all parties (though a bit more sense for me!).

​I've so far done three deals with him, and he was indeed able to secure a trade value--for all transactions--that exceeded my expectations and goal amount. His reply time, care, and attentiveness is also second-to-none. He even arranged shipping for my last transaction of both the new car and trade, with my new Macan Turbo arriving at my door in a mere two days. I'm a strong believer in him and a client for life at this point. Can't wait to order/buy a new vehicle with him whenever I get the next "itch". Thanks Sam!"

"I found Sam as I was just starting to shop for a new Cayenne, and I am very fortunate that I did. He saved me thousands of dollars on my purchase and saved me a ton of time searching for the car I wanted. I ended up buying from a dealer out-of-state and Sam made it a seamless experience. He is patient and answers questions in a very timely manner. I was new to the Porsche brand and the model. He provided very good advice to guide me to a car equipped the way I wanted. I highly recommend his service and will definitely use him again in the future."

​-Dave F.


"Sam blew away my normally high expectations. From start to finish, he was both a coach and a fierce negotiator, and always prioritizing my best interests. He is always quick to reply and full of useful info. After an exhaustive search, he found my 'perfect' Cayenne. But even better, he closed the deal! You will not find anyone else as knowledgeable, connected, and as hard working as Sam. He is a unicorn."

​-Daren M.
"I started my search for a Cayenne E-Hybrid and was getting nowhere close to finding one locally.  When I started to broaden my search to cars out-of-state, I didn't know what to expect. I needed some help with the negotiations, as the dealers I was in contact with had no interest in giving discounts. I remembered Sam from Rennlist and contacted him and started my search. Within a couple hours, he was able to find very appealing inventory from where I would have not considered looking at.

The entire transaction, including my trade, was very smooth with him, and given I switch my cars every year or so, I know how stressful it can be talking with sales advisors. With all the legwork and advice Sam gave me, I was able to get the E-Hybrid well below what I was going to pay for and am very happy with the whole experience. I will be reaching back out to him once I am ready for my next car again."

​-Bryan S.

"Negotiating with dealers for a new car can be a harrowing experience, especially when it is a high end sports car like a Porsche. Fortunately I found Sam. He made the buying experience a joy and not a chore. He negotiated a great deal that would have been impossible for me to do, always on the ball with detailed information and advice on certain available options, and an absolute wizard in communication.

Everything turned out smoothly and stress free. What more can one ask! A sincere thank you goes out to Sam for a unique and wonderful car buying experience. I will be back!"


-David R.



"Sam was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable and made the entire process smooth and easy. I was looking to order a Porsche Macan, but my local dealer told me he couldn't give me any discounts right now. I'm pretty experienced with the car buying process, and knew I had to venture out of my local market to get a good discount.

Sam was able to find me a dealer not too far away who gave me almost an 8% discount right away, with earlier delivery than my local dealer. Don't hesitate to use Sam. Well worth the small fee for the time I saved. Thanks again Sam!"


-Chong K.

"I reached out to Sam after having difficulties securing the level of discount I desired on a 2021 911 C2S. Sam has relationships and a vast network to draw from. He is professional in his communication (i.e. proactive, responsive, flexible, transparent...) and seeks to understand your needs/desires to ensure success while offering valuable insight every step of the way.

It was easy, I didn't have to do anything as Sam made it all happen even during a very challenging time where allocations and discounts are extremely challenging to secure. I purchased out-of-state which adds another level to things, especially with delivery/transport logistics. Sam can assist with many aspects of your luxury vehicle acquisition. Just ask of share what you want to accomplish; he has done this many times over and can provide value.

I am very happy with the level of service and professionalism provided by Sam. I will absolutely refer others and leverage him again with my future needs. My only regret is that I wish I would have found him sooner.

Sam, thank you for your superior service and for saving me time and money with my 992 C2S acquisition!"


​-Allen M.



"Sam did an excellent job locating and negotiating for our new Porsche Cayenne. Given a shortage of available cars, Sam searched a multitude of dealers to find available options that met our specification requirements. His communication emails were timely, concise, and informative as to the exact status for each vehicle we decided to pursue. He was able to successfully negotiate a great deal and used his communication channels with the dealer to provide instructions that made closing the deal effortless. We will definitely use Sam again for our next purchase."

​-Kris P.



"I found Sam's services when I was going through a number of Rennlist forum questions about Cayennes and specifically pricing. I contacted him regarding my interest in a 2021 Cayenne E-Hybrid Coup´e which are extremely hard to find due to very low allocation numbers and delays in delivery Pricing on these as I contacted a number of dealers throughout Southern California offered very little discounts off sticker, and some were at sticker only.

Sam researched the request with his Porsche connections and was able to find an allocation for a custom build within 24 hours at a great discount compared to all the other offers I received. The transaction was completed within 24 hours with the dealer and the car should be in within 3-4 months. Great service and great to work with. Thank you, Sam!"


​-Hugo F.
"Sam was simply outstanding! He knows the Porsche market very well, has an impressive dealer network, and brings all these resources to you in an efficient manner. You can purchase your exact vehicle at a significant discount all within a day or two! He simply makes the car buying process fun and a breeze.

Once we settled on the build for our 2021 Cayenne and gave Sam the green light to engage his network, we had an agreement for our order within a day at a significant discount. First, I never would have received the discount he was able to negotiate on my own in this tight of a market. Second, it would have taken me weeks to get within 4-5% of the discount he negotiated on my behalf in one day. Sam also introduced us to the Porsche Experience Center (PEC) delivery option where we are excited to take delivery. I will definitely be a repeat customer!"


​-Don H.



"During our research for a new Porsche Cayenne, we started to narrow our search down to a 2021 GTS. Through Rennlist, I found Sam's name numerous times as a passionate contributor and as someone highly recommended by others for his services, so I contacted him via email for help.

Sam was very responsive, courteous, and detailed in his feedback and emails. Besides guiding us through the myriad of options offered by Porsche, he found the vehicle that was the best fit for our family. On top of that, he obtained an incredibly large discount, almost five times the amount our local dealer offered. Here in the Bay Area, we have about 10 Porsche dealers within a 75 mile radius, but none of them could deliver like Sam did.

The entire process worked out great; once we got a deal, Sam connected us with the dealership and within a week we were on our way to Los Angeles to pick-up our new Cayenne GTS! We highly recommend Sam and will for sure use him for our next car purchase. Thank you, Sam!"

"Sam is the most knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and professional person I've dealt with in a very long time. It just so happens that he knows everything there is to know about Porsches: how the option packages work, whether each option is worth getting, and of course negotiating the best deal.

He literally saved me thousands of dollars on my Cayenne S custom build, and this is not my first Porsche purchase. He is a class act through and though, and I highly recommend him to anyone seriously considering a Porsche purchase."

-Phil Y.
"Sam saved me 10% on a Cayenne that we ordered exactly the way we want it.  His network delivered - our local dealer could not come close to the savings he found us!  He is very responsive and will be my first stop for any future purchases."

-Tom A.


"I came across Sam on the Rennlist Porsche Forums while doing my research on a new Macan GTS purchase. I made contact with him and asked if he would be able to assist in securing a discount and allocation for a GTS order.

I have to say that once contact was made, Sam was a complete professional to work with. He advised on realistic, current market discount amounts based on models and trims. He worked his magic and got me connected with a dealer that had available build slots at the most attractive discount.


Sam kept in touch almost daily while my build was finalized and submitted for production. He even provided clear information on the abundance of options and features to help me with ticking the right boxes.

I could not be more satisfied with the service and assistance that Sam provided in my new Porsche purchase. I highly recommend that if you want to be connected with a dealer that can provide the best balance of discount and availability, you owe it to yourself to reach out to Sam."


-Daniel C.


"Sam is the man! --

He saved me so much time and seamlessly got me in touch with contacts for the best deals on a Porsche order, in-state or out-of-state. Even at the same dealership, there are differences in the discounts given, and Sam seem to knows best! Sam also knew the specifics of the lease terms, like Money Factors/Residuals, and told me whether or not specific dealers would honor these numbers with no mark-up. The transaction went very smoothly, and I was able to make a deal within 30 minutes of getting the Sales Associate's contact from Sam. Only 
regret is that I wished I knew of him sooner! I'm definitely a happy customer!"


-Ken C.
"Sam was a lifesaver when it came to purchasing my first Porsche. Coming from BMWs, I was used to getting a 10% discount by just asking! But Porsche dealers were basically saying "pay the sticker price," which is crazy. Sam secured 10% off for me with an out-of-state dealer with PEC Los Angeles Delivery. Everything went super smoothly, and I'm a happy Cayenne S owner!  You can't go wrong with him."

-Eugene K.


​
"When I was looking to buy a new Cayenne, I wasn't having any luck with the dealership closest to me, so I went to Rennlist to help find price comparisons and the pris/cons of which model I should buy. There, I found Sam. I emailed him, and for a very nominal fee, he helped me secure a significantly higher discount on a new Cayenne E-Hybrid than I could get for myself. He put me in touch with a wonderful sales associate at another dealership that was very pleasant to work with. Without Sam, I wouldn't have known how much to ask for, what to counter with, and what realistic timeline expectations should be."

-Lee S.



"As a first time Porsche buyer, after several months of unsuccessful negotiation on my own, I ran across Sam's information on a Porsche forum and emailed him cold not expecting anything.

Sam was beyond amazing
. He immediately responded, and within a matter of days, he advised that I may be better off with a custom order than getting a deal on an inventory vehicle that included many features I did not want. Through his vast network, he was able to secure me a better deal on a custom build than I could have ever achieved on my own, and more importantly sooner than I would have been able to procure a car in normal course.

Due to the unavoidable supply chain issues caused by the semiconductor shortage, as a result of COVID-19, the timetable ended up being prolonged by a couple of months. Despite this, Sam was super responsive throughout the entire process and way more helpful, knowledgeable, and insightful than most sales associates.

I am so happy I found Sam! I am in love with my car and couldn't recommend him more. I'd work with him on any future car purchase in a heartbeat."


-Sonya L.
"Last year, I was in the market for a Panamera and having difficulties negotiating with dealers, so I reached out to Sam. Sam was very genuine and explained how much of a discount I could expect. Due to the pandemic worsening, I wasn't going to need another car, so I decided to put things on hold.

A year later, I'm back in the market, this time for a Taycan 4S, but it's now a seller's market. I called 8 dealers and all of them said they can only do MSRP on custom order, and that I need to wait 6-7 months for delivery. I reached out to Sam again.

Sam was not only able to find a dealer that had an allocation with delivery in 3.5 months, but he was also able to negotiate a discount. Knowing where the market is at today, this is truly unreal. I was able to complete the custom order and received confirmation from Porsche today. My experience with Sam has been all pleasant, and I am not just saying this because I received a discount with quick delivery. Sam's communication is very genuine. He responds promptly and he never pressured me. Even when I decided to put things on hold last year, he never once tried to sell to me. I also really liked how he connected me to the dealer. His email clearly stated what has been agreed with the dealer, including all the fees I should and should not expect. It's so good to have it in email, so that there is no misunderstanding.

I will definitely work with Sam again, and I highly recommend him to anyone."


-Sang L.


"I worked with Sam to order a Cayenne and would not buy another Porsche without talking to him! Sam got me a deal on a custom order in days that I could not have gotten on my own in months. He helped me refine my order and select options that I am thrilled with, he knows the market, and he was completely transparent throughout the entire process.

Sam's network of dealers across the country can't be beat, and I would recommend him to anybody looking to buy a Porsche.
