I am working on a deal for more than 7% off an ordered base C2 with a dealer I have never done business with. Don't ask since the deal isn't done yet.

Sales on the 991.2 are like 1/2 what they were this month last year. Even taking into account whatever variables you want (economy, election year, not naturally aspirated, etc), the .2 is not selling very well. I considered looking at a newer 991.1 but after trying the new infotainment PCM in the 991.2 I knew that wasn't going to happen.

 

 

I test drove a .2 S yesterday and tried to negotiate 5% yesterday softly. My local dealer said nope but instead gave me the old "we'll make you a good deal" and this is my servicing dealer and the dealer I bought my .1 from. I think I'm going to have to look elsewhere...they seem to love their cars a bit too much even for someone who wants to be a loyal customer.

 

I do pretty much the opposite by going in with a Porsche code generated at another dealer. They get the message.

 

Yup - dealers are struggling to get inventory and allocation.

I salesman ay my local dealer says they pretty much lose negotiating power when they see customers shopping out of town as there is much incentive from Porsche. Besides - in todays market, buying a car remotely; price really is the sole differentiator with identical product.

 

I was getting my car serviced at the same time and the car had just arrived on the lot the day before. Got the old there is so much interest in this car we couldn't possibly do 5% ...blah blah blah...yeah ok.

 

Yes

 

allocations were hard to get, my florida dealer could only get me a euro delivery allocation because they get an extra US allocation to make up for it then.

my one ohio dealer couldnt get an allocation, went with another and got a little more than 6% and happy right now.

excited for the car, and excited to get the turbo6 up to 450-500hp and have a fun fast reliable manual "turbo"

 

Do you actually use that watch in your icon?

 

wore it yesterday actually. alinghi team carbon.. the pic in avatar i took in...... 08 i believe tho. have a rose concept chrono tourb on today.

 

On a 991.2 build totaling $110k, I was offered $5k discount from two dealers in central Illinois. I tried for 5%, but was turned down. As this car will be for Euro Delivery, I didn't want to press more for the discount as I knew this deal was going to be a PITA for the selling dealer with more work needed before the car finally arrives back in the USA on their doorstep.

 

I believe it's a extra check box.

 

This will be my 5th Euro Delivery, 4th with Porsche. Trust me, getting the car you want delivered in the time window you want, is a much bigger chore than checking a box. I changed my order from one dealer to another because after 5 weeks, the first dealer hadn't made any progress for a delivery next June.

If you have no demands on the delivery date, it gets simpler. If you do it with BMW or Mercedes, it gets a lot easier. With Porsche AG, they'd rather not do it at all.

 

Yep easy peasy with BMW and so much more included. I may have to continue with 1 Porsche and 1 BMW just because of it.

 

Would love to hear more if you have more than the usual (Apple etc).

Any of the other electronics (driving assistant etc) you found wanting?
