FWIW Dept.....After buying cars for fifty plus years I have a system that seems to work for me pretty well. I try my best to get the best deal I can, take delivery...then FORGET ABOUT IT.

Why beat yourself up? It's a losing deal every time we buy one of these things. Just enjoy the car and forget about it.

Crystal ball...and probably scarcity, given PAG uncertainty.

99.9%?

I was being conservative

So a car that isn't selling for msrp new is going to all the sudden be worth more to the next owner?

You can buy mine now for only $100k, a bargain for a collectible. LOL

This week, I picked up a 2018 Cayman GTS (GT silver on black, PDK) in Chicago area. 3,024 miles on the clock, CPO, $102k sticker. I was able to purchase for $72,500. I spent some time shopping since end of August, made a few offers that didn't get done. I'm awaiting delivery...so I haven't seen my car yet. Hopefully it doesn't smell like BO.

Never said "all of a sudden", but given some patience, I think so, depended on what PAG finally does with new Cayman offerings.

Oh, ye of little faith

LOL, I’m excited like a five-year-old on Christmas morning. Of course, your hatred makes it even sweeter.

Seriously, if you find yourself in Indianapolis, look me up and we’ll go for a drive.

Delivery is allegedly queued up for tonight or tomorrow.

Very nice car, like the color and the wheels. The silver looks so good. And doesn't show dirt/dust as bad as darker colors. Congrats!

Thanks. I agree it's a great color. It wasn't my first or second choice, but the spec is otherwise perfect and the deal was great. Personally, I love agate grey and night blue.

I dealt with Troy Vail at Napleton Porsche. Fantastic, first class service from him and Napleton.
