Stumbled across this thread as I went through the, "should I get a GT4 or Spyder or just go back to the 911" after I sold the C4S. Here's Car and Driver's opinion. I just could not justify losing a front spoiler on Michigan roads lol. Back to the 911 for me, but I did call about both the 2016 GT4 and some new ones sitting in FL. No one was dealing back then (summer). https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...18-cayman-gt4/

Or unless you plan to have a flat tire on your CL + pccb wheel in the boonies and hope that the grease monkey at the town garage will know how to remove and install the wheel.
How beautifully simple was the 986 Boxster with 5 lugs and a spare? Back on the road and on your way in 30mins all on your own.

that you trust to be able to do this properly - even then I personally have had a dealer forget to re-engage the safety locks which is "ok" unless something bad happens you could lose a wheel!

Interesting how a feature developed to enable sub 5 second wheel changes in a racing environment requires procedures I see described here. It would make you believe that all these decade s of CL race cars are lucky they haven't spit their wheels off every race.
I'm guessing if I showed up at a track day or a DE with racing impact gun, some aluminum based grease (aka anti-seize) and a large digital torque wrech for final check a lot of folks would have a heart attack.

After pages of CL off topic, anyone else ordered their Spyder with a discount?

For the OP ~ I believe the car in it's base form is a 7or 9% markup from invoice and 15-20% for options. (can't remember the exact numbers) I used to use edmunds online a few years ago and think that's what it was.
While you can still see invoice pricing on a specific build, you can't see each item and the difference in price anymore on that site. Dealers got pissed a few years back because people could research pricing and edmunds succumbed to the complaints. I just built my car on edmunds and invoice is 12% less than my MSRP. As another mentioned, there is a chance some extra incentives for dealers could exist which could create a deeper discount.
I've found it hard to negotiate off invoice on GT cars. Any other model, not so challenging.

I guarantee they will not bite or even come close to that.
You are talking GM level off MSRP pricing. You can get 10% off MSRP on Corvette's and Camaro's after the initial hype is gone, but that will NEVER happen on a Porsche, let alone a GT Porsche.
