I have a bead on a new Cayman GTS, built earlier this year. Only has Navigation and park assist for options.

Sticker is about 85k, which is what they are asking.

Seeing that we are going into 2016, is there much negotiating power on this?

Thoughts on anyone purchasing a similar car with similar time kinda thing, i.e. a new 2013 bought in December 2014?

Thanks!

Dealers in my area-Boston, routinely discount,I'd look for 5k +- off esp if they have had it a while

a year old experience on a GTS... not much movement, say 3% off.
Some people have claimed more, one dealer offered me a lot less.
But with no more allocations left -- I wouldn't be surprised with a firming market.

A 2015 that's still on the lot should be $5k - $8k off.
There are also a number of low mile pre-owned cars for sale. A handful are former Porsche executive cars.

Wouldn't pay sticker for a 2015.

That is what I would think, I should check back in the middle of January if the car is still there. I did look around for used GTS same year with less than 1000 miles and they were asking a little below list. Plus lux tax has to be paid on new cars here.

I ordered a 2016 CGTS, MSRP was $85k and received 3% discount. I'd ask for $5k off but think $3k off would be fair.

There are no more GTS allotments available and there would be no more 6 cylinder GTS builds. So there is some rarity to the car and there may be little or no discount available....

What makes a CGTS rare? Seems like there are a number for sale out there. Trying to decide between a CGTS and an allocation I have for a GT4.

I'm not sure about the rare thing either. My dealer has a 2016 sitting unmolested on the showroom floor, that could be had at a discounted price quite easily.

I just took delivery of my CGTS, ordered the first of November, and the dealer gave me 6% off before I even began bargaining with him. I got a few more little perks and think I got a very good deal. They told me it was their last GTS allocation. YMMV.

Hi, new potential 2015 Cayman GTS shopper, some questions:

It's now currently May 2016, and compared to when this thread was started in 12/2015 I'm sure the nationwide inventory of new manual 6 spd GTS cars in Porsche dealerships all over the country have shrank somewhat. I live in Southern California and unfortunately supplies in local dealerships here are very few, majority being PDK cars. I am pretty dead set on a manual and the nearest example is up in Santa Barbara (I live in Los Angeles). I have been extending my search throughout the state and several neighboring states dealerships.

Also I have been doing inventory searches thru a sales guy at a local dealership near me and I've found some desirable spec and color cars but for the most part they are being listed between $88-92k regardless of location. I'm going to try and negotiate a deal with my local salesman first, settle on a price and then have him do a dealer swap. My target price is as close to paying $90k out the door as much as they will allow. I know this is likely impossible but what I am pushing for and willing to meet halfway.

If he doesn't play ball then I will have to contact these other offsite dealerships individual and try to bargain with them on an individual basis. I've been keeping track on car inventories so I have a sense on wether they are moving or not.

I'm more used to negotiating price on higher volume seller cars and I know most of those tactics won't apply towards a more limited production model like the Cayman GTS, especially in the NA 6 cylinder and manual 6 spd. Any tips or suggestions from more experience Porsche shoppers is appreciated.

I think you could get into a lightly used CGTS for around 75k. The GT4 canabalized the CGTS market. At least that's my impression.

Porsche is no longer manufacturing this model. They've moved on to the turbo four 718. There may be a few "new" cars still in dealer inventory. I would expect little or no discount off MSRP. You may have better luck in a pre-owned car. I believe you'd have a better chance of finding a PDK car than manual.


Good luck with your search.

edkown, I was in a similar position as you. Live in LA, looked for a new S or GTS manual in the LA area and surrounding 100 mile radius. Nada. I didn't go used because there wasn't much discount to be had (plus no manuals anyway near me). I went the opposite direction and recently got a new black edition. A little over $60K out the door with at least 80% of the fun factor of the GTS. The engine / exhaust notes, free revving nature, and value won me over. Good luck in your search.

window closing/closed on 981 cay gts, similar to 991 gts

maybe in a nook or cranny of the country small dealer will still think the one they have on hand is an orphan leftover unit to be cleared out cheap, but not in most major metro areas i don't think dealers are that stupid

time of year working against u too

may be smarter to look for a cayman S with sport chrono plus and spasm if there is one so equipped
