I’m being told by dealers in Ca, Nevada and Arizona that they are not offering any discounts to MSRP. I asked 6 months ago and some were willing to negotiate and i was getting calls and emails back. Today, nothing. Anyone out there experiencing same? I’m looking at about 5K in options. I haven’t received a call or email back when I mentioned discounts. One dealer actually offered me . .025% (LOL) a whopping $260 off MSP. They say demand is back. I’ve dealt with approximately 19 dealerships. Just curious if anyone out there has received any discount off MSRP on a Boxster GTS.

 

I ordered a GTS 4.0 and got 0% off. I paid MSRP.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

You snooze, you looze.

 

Discounts are going to be very difficult for the GTS 4.0. There is simply limited allocations and no reason a dealer will not hold and just wait for a buyer willing to pay full MSRP.

I will caveat, if you don’t live in SoCal or the NY metro area. You should contact your local dealer. I have heard and experienced first hand local dealers are willing to discount. Granted it’s not the 6% you normally see (best I got was 4%, but decided to go for a Spyder/GT4, instead). Good luck and if I had an allocation, I rather just pay it to have a car before winter.

 

Thanks for the info. I live in Las Vegas, only one dealer in Nevada. I’ve talked with So Cal dealers but they’re all saying straight MSRP.

 

True Dat!

 

I ordered a BGTS and got 3% off for a 2022. But I am in Canada so might be different

 

Ah at this rate, just email blast dealers in flyover States. Should take just a few minutes, but at least you can go forward knowing you tried. And if you’re unable to get a discount at least you will know you’re happy paying MSRP.

I personally expected discounts on GTS. But you may have to wait till next year for that.

 

That’s pretty much what I did. 4 states surrounding Nevada. All saying about the same. My local won’t have allocations until end of May, 1st week of June.

 

I thought there were 2 dealers in Nevada
did the Reno dealer go belly up?

 

I'm typically used to 6% off with anything non-special (GT, Targa, Spyder) cars, including GTS. However, I've used the same dealer forever, it seems. Also, right now, there would be little to no discounts. The market just doesn't support it. The alternative is to pay near MSRP for a 1-2 year old 4 cylinder GTS, where 6 months ago they were a steal.

 

So I just did a search of new BGTS within 500 miles of Vegas on Car Gurus....PDK and manual...5 came up, and three of them don't have real pics, which means they are likely in transport or not yet at the dealer...so basically TWO vehicles? I know that's not scientific and likely may not be perfectly accurate...but ballpark estimate there are two BGTS's within 500 miles of you...why would they offer a discount? I wouldn't...
For perspective, I think MANY, MANY will share their stories.....but I'm betting the majority of people on this site paid MSRP and did it happily to get a vehicle. I paid MSRP and pick my CGTS up in the next 30 days....(it's on a boat heading towards the Panama Canal). I could barely get a call back from local dealers and had to buy from a dealer 1500 miles from my home....I think demand far outweighs supply at this point my friend....

 

I remember a post somewhere on rennlist, in march 2020 someone in Europe, netherland I think, bought a gt4 or a spyder 718 new for close to 5000 or even 10000 euros off msrp I think.

That was at the peak of the covid crisis and histeria. Bodies where piling up in Italy. France was on lockdown.

Everybody tough that the economy would be in shambles forever ( look at dow jones values at that time around 18000 today 33000)

1 year later, the economy is doing fine. Nobody is going on vacation outside their country. Saving a few grands a year. What do they do with that money...blow it of course.

And a sports car is a great way to do that.

who could have predicted that?

Good luck with your Boxter GTS.

Glad I didn’t back out of buying my gt4 in July 2020 😅

 

I agree with this. There are just no new Porsches right now. The market is crazy. And, it seems the GTS's are a lot of car for the money for the current lineup. The GTS's have always held their value well anyways... especially that 4.0. I don't see that tanking anytime soon.
