thanks - confirming mileage but it is not listed as a demo. Agree it seems odd it hasn’t sold given demand -

 

Given the lack of available cars AND difficulty in getting allocations; I would say maybe NOW 7.5-8% since many are now seeing MSRP or around 2-4% depending on the dealership and location. Otherwise I'd say 10-15% IF the car has been sitting that long for almost a year and is indeed a 2020. Bottom line..if you like it and it has the perfect options buy the car not the deal/discount! They are great cars!

 

Totally agree as long as buyer is intending on keeping the car for a reasonable amount of time. If like many of us he is fickle and will jump into something different within a year or two then the deal does start to matter a lot as a bad deal will make the depreciation hit hard when you trade in in two years although truth be told this dearth of cars will also help to hold resale values up there for a while to come. I saw this even with my 718 Boxster which I traded for the 992. Even the Boxster levels are holding beautifully as there are no cars coming out and even the second hand car market is really strong

 

Looking to order a TT or TTS. What kind of discount should I expect? Please pm if you have a good sales person you would recommend and would deal.

 

Look on the 992 TT/TTS forum. There is a thread on that question.

 

I am between a C4S and a Targa 4s. Has anyone been successful getting a discount on a Targa 4s order?

 

Allocations on Targas are so scarce, the dealers in the Wash DC will tell you full MSRP on them AND you will wait 10 to 13 months to get one. I just bought a highly optioned C2S Cab 2021 Manual Trans yesterday, there are none around. Dealer said full MSRP for the first hour we were there, then came off $ 4,870 on a $ 159,340 sticker. Not much of a deal, but there are none of these cars around so its a sellers market right now.

 

It's really hard getting any discount on the Targa 4s. I was able to get a small discount; however, i do not have a actual allocation as of yet. Deposit paid and commission # VO70. Supposed to be getting actual allocation within the next 30 days or so. It all depends on your sense of urgency. I imagine in 12 months from now it will all be different. If you want a car/ allocation right now, you are going to pay close to MSRP. Dealers trade allocations all the time so if you can work out a deal with a dealer, they should be able to find you what your are looking for but it's not going to be at much if any discount.

 

FYI, V070 just means your dealer has put in a vehicle demand request. It isn't a commission number. You will get that with a real allocation. I personally wouldn't give a deposit unless it came with a real allocation. That way you can keep shopping other dealers and especially if not getting any real discount.

 

FWIW, i have a commission # on my build sheet they gave me. Small deposit down. He was up front with me that they do not have the actual allocation as of yet. Correct "V070- Order demand released for order" offered me 4% as well; so that is something and to me and worth the wait. The haggling with dealers is not the fun part of this process.

 

congrats. tried to pm you for dealer info, but wasn't working. could you send me a message? thanks in advance.

 

I'm raising the B.S. flag.
I don't owe a car salesman a wage, living or otherwise, unless I'm the guy who owns the dealership. If someone selling cars doesn't think they're making enough money, they should ask their boss for a raise, not me. Or, maybe they should study a book on marketing and salesmanship. Or do what the majority of people on this forum did; i.e. go to school, learn a marketable trade, be careful with money, and put aside enough to buy a Porsche, a Ferrari, or whatever else they want. But don't tell me a car salesman "deserves" a higher wage unless you are comfortable with me saying you can't buy that new pair of shoes you have your eye on and you have to give me some of your money because I "deserve" to own a Porsche which I can't quite afford at the going price.

It's called capitalism and free enterprise, the greatest economic system the world has ever known. It's what makes it possible for some people to own a Porsche, and that includes most (if not every) person on this forum. I've got money and you have some goods. We can agree to trade a certain amount of one for a certain amount of the other. If either of us doesn't like the exchange rate, we can just walk away and do business with someone else. I'm taking delivery of a new special order Porsche on Monday. I made an offer to the dealer and we agreed on a bit better than 9% off MSRP. I didn't see him crying or complaining that he wouldn't be able to pay the rent this month. The word "deserve" did not enter into our conversation.

Hint: Venezuela and Cuba, (where people are given what they deserve) are not exactly hot markets for Porsche and it ain't because of the pot holes.

 

If you are leasing a car, you have already given up your best deal. You are paying not only the cost of money (financing) but scheduled depreciation. And you are paying sales tax on the whole portion of the vehicle (as well as personal property taxes if your state has that) rather than the portion you are using. Leasing is absolutely the worst way to get into a car from a financial perspective.

 

Looks to be approx 3% off not bad and on even a cab probably normal/average from what most are reporting here. Would expect much less on a Targa given current allocations avail and inventory to dealers. Maybe will open up a lil more by Spring 2021?

 

Not quite true as it is all about the numbers...back in the day I used to lease my BMWs because their residuals were hugely subsidized and with multiple security deposits it was possible to get the MF well below 1%...also taxation varies by state, most states just tax the lease payment. So running numbers could show the total cost of leasing much less then cost of owning...especially if putting 15K+ annual miles on car where used value tanks.
