Question New 09 Cayman - Thoughts?

Took a drive down the Porsche dealer today in anticipation of my next buy. Fell in love with a silver Cayman in the lot, though it is a new 2009 with 20 miles on it. Sorry i do not have a list of the features, though pretty basic with "S" wheels. The sticker was $55k though they are asking $49.6K.

There is no special offer or financing (1.9%) like on the 2010, so a 5yr loan would be at banking rates. I need to do the math on this, though what do you guys think about 2009 vs. 2010; Cayman vs. Caymen S... and is a $5K discount a deal or not?

Near NYC there is a new 09 CS that is available with a strong discount. If it's not too far from you, pm me.

A 2009 is over 1 year old and will be 2 years old as soon as the 2011 models hit the showrooms in a month or two, so $5K off is not that good imho.

A year ago last April I bought an 08 Cayman S new for $12K off sticker. Now a year is a long time in the car business but still $5K off a nearly 2 year old car?

Get on www.autotrader.com and www.cars.com and punch in the info to search on cars for sale and see what 2009/2010 Caymans you can find and see what other dealers around are asking for these cars.

Sincerely,

Macster.

I don't think that is a great deal on a new '09.

I just bought a new '09 CS for 16% off MSRP.

I think you can do better out there.

Kevin: That was also about my discount last year on my 09 CS. I did have the impression then and now, however, that Porsche is diverting product out of and away from the problematic occidental (setting) markets and transferring it into oriental (rising) economies.

The standard deal here in Florida is 10% off MSRP. Any model. $5K off off of an 09 Cayman is not enough.

The '11 models are out. An '09 should be a much better deal now.
