I wouldn't say easily, at least not in the Bay Area... Between Reno, and the 5 Bay Area dealers I contacted, only one would talk at 5%

Any tips on how to negotiate for a 5%? I am in Pacific Northwest.

Contact Nick Leader @ Porsche Bellingham and tell him Greg L. referred you. It will be worth your while, trust me on that!

992Sam

the best negotiation position is to be able to walk away and mean it... offer 5% off, and then walk out if they say no

Noah Fect

Good luck. With the economy the way it is up here, to get 5% off you will need to bring something to the negotiating table. Specifically, a handgun and a ski mask.

Why not buy somewhere else and have the car shipped to you?

Or buy elsewhere and have it shipped directly to your local dealer via the Courtesy Delivery Program. PCNA will pay the receiving dealer up to $600 for the PDI and I had set that up when I ordered a Targa 4S last year but when I did not go through with it when I ordered my Targa GTS at a different dealer within driving distance. For example, Florida dealers provide a nice discount (PM me for a contact if you want one).

I second the Nick Leader referral. He’s a good guy and is very helpful and honest.

Noah Fect

True, I know the Corvette people do that a lot, for example... but I can't believe the local dealer is very happy about it, especially when it comes time to schedule service appointments/loaners, or to ask for goodwill on an expensive out-of-warranty repair.

I'm not exactly a stalwart defender of the dealership model, but I suspect it's false economy to try to beat every last pfennig out of new-car purchases by shopping remotely. Especially when ADM isn't in play... which is not an issue if people are talking 5% off in the Seattle market.

Bob Z.

I see nothing wrong with it, especially if you are going to use your local dealer for service and warranty work, which they do get paid to do! And besides, Porsche offers the Courtesy Delivery Program that I mentioned above so it cannot be that bad.

I don't have a local dealer. Mine is three hours away. Fortunately they have a free delivery policy to home; which they have offered to do.

Michael Smith

That's the thing..some dealers are not offering discounts at all in areas. So should people pay more money when they can easily get 5-7%?

Hi Sam,
I am located in the Bay Area. Would you please share any pointer to a dealer who will accept 5% off on a 992 2S order?

992Sam

send me a private message and I’ll share the name of my dealer and salesman’s personal contact. Just mention my name “Sam” when you contact him.

I'm in the same situation in Bay Ares. Have not found any dealers offering more than 1% discount on C2S build with $148K. Can you please share who offered you the 5% discount in Bay Area.
