We have been back and forth. Negotiations have been amicable and professional. Nothing finalized, but i must say Porsche have been great in the process.

+1 ... the demand for these cars is such that if the OP passes - it will sell to another IMO ...

Larry Cable

lets be clear its the dealer and not PCNA that you are negotiating with... right?

thats very unfortunate that you missed doing ED - its well worth it - but once the production is scheduled, the ED dates are pretty much locked in so there is little choice but to ship the car ... they only have a certain amount of
storage for the cars once they roll off the line ...

bet you are excited to see the car when its gets there!

Thanks very much - I am excited- it’s been a long process I have had a deposit for over 3 years. Nearly caved and bought a 2015 V10 Audi R8 manual Spyder in the meantime- last of the mid-engine manual NASP Spyders. And the uniqueness of a V10. But I think the Porsche Spyder will be drivers car I’m seeking to replace the Ferrari 360 gated manual Spyder. And again Porsche have been great throughout the process. 👍

Just looking at this thread now. Interesting proposition. What was the outcome?

From the beginning, it looks like you got a good deal with MSRP pre-COVID full shutdown. I saw you originally posted your question on 3/11 and the world pretty much came to a screeching halt on I believe it was 3/18 so you did well from the beginning. Sounds like you're looking for below msrp at this point. What was the outcome?

From my perspective, I guess it never hurts to ask but it's also how you ask or if you're demanding it. I don't know if I would do it though especially if my SA was able to help me get the car exactly the way I want it and has gone above and beyond compared to some of the horror stories I'm hearing on this forum from other members.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a discount?

I would ask them to take those BS dealer added fees off from the total. Not sure where you are in Canada but here in BC, I’ve seen too much of those nonsense dealer fees. Freight & PDI, no problem; but I won’t be paying those others. Just to name a few, special dealer prep - $500, detailing - $1200, floor mats - $500, wheel locks - $300, gt series doc fee $1000, fuel&cleaning - $350. IMO those are just completely ridiculous.

Its like True Coat, you gotta pay... my all time favorite car dealer negotiation scene.

Interesting when you get a salesman in one profession knocking salesman in another profession. Is there really a difference between them?

ExMB, you are always pokin'. Yes, I am a proud sales person. In fact my business card says I am a "Certified Professional Yacht Broker", as apposed to the the Non-Certified Professional ones, or perhaps even the Certified Non-Professional ones. It also says I am a Captain, a Surveyor, and Appraiser. And, I'm still not done learning so i can best serve my clients. Nevertheless, I can assure you that I have never sold TruCoat to anyone! The depicted stereotypical car sale situation the director of Fargo shows is so sleezy that is both disturbing (like the rest of the movie) and oddly entertaining (like the rest of the movie). The post was not knocking any sales profession. I was just sharing a little levity to make everyone smile. Including you ExMB.
