Hi. My Carrera GTS arrives this week. Super excited to pick up the new car, first Porsche. Wondering what to ask the dealer to throw in for free? 1st service or accessories? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I got a free tube of K-Y jelly before I went in the finance office to pay for it.

Ask for free stuff? Really?? Does your company give free stuff away to customers?

If your dealership gives you a bunch of free stuff, it's a sign you left too much money on the negotiating table.

Before my purchased, I negotiated a free first oil change. Before the deal, not after. I supplied the oil. They supplied the labor and filters.

When I picked up my car, they gave me 2 very nice Porsche key chains and later sent me a COA. Very nice. Much appreciated.

I don't ask for free ****. I negotiate a deal. And pay my way.

Negotiate before you sign the papers.

Asking for "free" stuff after the fact has no class.

You're spending over 130K on a car. Really that excited about getting a free pen, clear side markers, or t-shirt?

You'll be lucky to get a full tank of gas.

Only thing I'd expect is a "thank you for your business" from them.

LexVan

We all pay for the gas in the delivery charges. FYI.

Pro Tip (not directed at you specifically):

NEVER say "free". "Free" has NO value. Say "no charge" instead.

Ask them for a place where you can remove all the delivery wrap and detail the car yourself before driving home. Ask them for a free DO NOT WASH sign to put in the window in case you bring the car in for service. Ask them for a video of the Porsche rep in Stuttgart saying, “for American customers, we must recommend you to keep it below 4200rpm, for everyone else we suggest use it as you normally would: careful while cold, then flat out.”* That should just about do it.

Gotcha! Ok, a "free" hug from the salesman then. Ha ha.

Chuck991's pharmacy must be closed again. TROLL!

I'd ask for a Boxster

I got my dealer to throw in at "no charge", a 1 night hotel stay in 4 star hotel, 2 Taxi vouchers, a factory tour, a special tour for kids 12 and under at the Porsche Exclusive factory floor, lunch for 4 at the "casino cafeteria", tickets to the Porsche museum, 2 weeks of road hazard insurance, and a COA along with several photos of the family and the car.

All I had to do is pay $5400 for airfare to Stuttgart...pretty good deal eh? Oh..and the cost of the car...and several weeks of lodging, food and entertainment...and 2000mi worth of fuel at ~$8 a gal.

Sadly there was no free pen...although I did take one from the Schlossgarten hotel...ball point...not very spectacular...

I got a calendar! Its hanging in my home office

Yeah, negotiating at delivery is not the best idea...

You can ask for anything you want. What I'll bet you'll get is a key chain, a calendar and a smile. And maybe not even a key chain.

sracer

I got a really nice genuine Porsche key chain...in leather...without asking!

Archimedes

The $50 one or the $200 clip in one you actually paid for as an option?

I got a sweet deal on a leftover Cayman S and it came with the leather key pouch, which was... a $200 option! It's useless. I threw it in the trash.

Archimedes

Seriously though, OP, there is a new owner package they used to give to first time buyers, called a handy. So when you pick up your car, remember to ask your salesman for a handy.








On the off chance you don't get the joke, please don't actually do this.
