Thomas is no stranger to high-end automobiles. Having bought and sold numerous cars in his lifetime, heโs well-acquainted with both the thrill of the search and the pitfalls of the process. But recently, while hunting for a 2025 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, he hit a wallโone made of market shortages, inflated markups, and dealers demanding $35,000 to $50,000 over MSRP.
Thatโs when he discovered Car Concierge Pro (CCP) and Chief Negotiator Neel Mehta, whose tailored, professional car buying service has helped over 700 clients across the US and Canada save a combined $4.2 million in actual negotiated value.
In this detailed blog, we unpack Thomasโs journey, what makes the 2025 Targa special, and how CCP is going the extra mile to get him behind the wheelโwithout breaking the bank.

The Targa Dilemma: A Porsche Loverโs Challenge in 2025
Thomas was clear from the beginningโhe wasnโt just after any Porsche. He wanted the 2025 911 Targa 4 GTS, specifically because of the hybrid fuel injection system that boosts horsepower. With the added bonus of the classic open-air Targa roof, itโs a rare blend of performance and aesthetic appeal.
But Thomas, like many luxury car buyers post-pandemic, found himself cornered by a frustrating reality:
- Dealers playing gamesโfinding a โbarely drivenโ car with 100 miles on it and jacking up the price by $50,000.
- Limited transparencyโno real way to confirm condition or ownership without doing detective work.
- Harassment from sales repsโcalls, emails, texts flooding in after every inquiry.
โIโm just exhausted. I donโt need a car. I want this car, but I refuse to pay insane markups just to beat the line,โ Thomas told Neel.
He needed help. And not just any helpโstrategic, well-informed advocacy from experts who negotiate for a living.
How Car Concierge Pro Approached the Mission
Neel, CCPโs founder and a seasoned car negotiator, immediately understood the nuances of Thomasโs concerns. The solution wasnโt just about finding a carโit was about cutting through the noise, curating real options, and negotiating like a pro.
Hereโs how Car Concierge Pro laid out the strategy:
- A Nationwide Search on 45+ Platforms
While most buyers look at Cars.com, Autotrader, or DuPont Registry, CCPโs reach spans over 45 curated vehicle platforms, including lesser-known but high-quality listing networks, dealer-only portals, and private owner groups.
Neel and his team would build an extensive curated list of 2025 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS and GTS Cabriolets, taking into account:
- Dealer demos
- Low-mileage units (under 1,000 miles)
- Non-registered inventory
- Color and trim preferences
- Verified ownership and documentation
- No-Nonsense Pricing Transparency
Thomas was adamant: he wasnโt paying a $35K or $50K markup for a barely-used car.
CCPโs promise? “Clean pricing” only. That means:
- MSRP + taxes + required fees = final price
- No โdealer prep,โ โmarket adjustment,โ or โconvenienceโ charges
- Transparent breakdowns in writing before the buyer even walks into the dealership
- Daily Tracking & Communication
Neel showed Thomas the custom live dashboardโa tool that tracks:
- Number of cars identified
- Dealerships contacted
- Negotiation attempts
- Latest odometer readings
- Photo confirmations
- Vehicle history and title status
The team communicates daily, with stand-up meetings to update inventory status and share new leads, ensuring Thomas stays informed without being overwhelmed.
โWe amplify your search. You donโt lose controlโwe make it easier,โ Neel explained.
Understanding Thomasโs Preferences
During the call, Neel took the time to clarify every important vehicle detail:
Preference Category | Thomasโs Choice |
Model | 2025 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS (1st choice) |
ย | Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet (2nd choice) |
Condition | New or dealer demo (< 1,000 miles), unregistered |
Drive Type | Targa GTS = AWD (standard) |
Must-Have Feature | Front axle lift system |
Exterior Colors | Flexible; prefers lighter tones, avoids wild colors |
Interior Color | Preferably tan or brown; will accept black if necessary |

This deep understanding allows CCP to act with confidence and speed, knowing exactly what to filter forโand what to skip.
The Pricing: Simple, Transparent, Performance-Based
Thomas asked the important question: โWhen do I pay you?โ
CCPโs answer reflected the trust it builds with its clients:
- $500 upfront upon starting the engagement
- $500 upon successful vehicle delivery
- $998 total, all-inclusive
Unlike traditional dealerships or brokers, there are:
- No hidden fees
- No markups for searching multiple vehicles
- No extra charges for additional models or trims
โYouโre not paying us to sell you a car,โ Neel emphasized. โYouโre paying us to protect you from overpaying for one.โ
