Default Are you paying MSRP?

I'm getting closer to ordering and have assumed that I'll be paying MSRP. For those who have already ordered, are you paying MRSP?

I'm not ordering one (yet), but I think what you pay has something to do with where you live. There are 4 Porsche dealers within 20 miles of my house so getting something off msrp is a certainty unless you are ordering a limited car like the GT3 RS 4.0. Your signature states you are in Alaska, so there may be only one or two dealers in that entire state which would make bargaining difficult.

i negotiated a discount based on previous purchases (5th new one inside 3 years)... almost 7%

i think 3% should be easy to negotiate, obviously not many dealers in AK to nego with i assume, but i think 3% is doable... maybe 5% is you get ballsy..

remember they get 10% off the car and 15% off the options, 0% off the delivery charge... also they still have kick backs on top of those discounts.

5 new cars in 3 years? No wonder you got a discount! And I thought I had it bad--my family and friends give me lots of grief whenever I get rid of a car after 3 or 4 years. I'm envious.

That is great to know those rounded numbers Riley. These guys stand to make BIG bucks on these 130K C2S's everyone is talking about!

I thought California law only allowed Prius dealers in the bay area?

There is no other question you could ask on this or any other car site that will get you less realistic answers than this one!
Everybody is a brilliant negotiator who bamboozles the sales mgr to give them a deal that the market doesn't warrant....
