Current pricing
I know this has been covered tons, but just spot checking the current market. What kind of discounts are people getting on 992 orders they are placing in December? I'm thinking about a C4S. I know inventory is tight (esp in metro-NYC).

In this market consider yourself lucky if you can get an allocation at all. Not talking promise of one but an actual Commission number. Then if you can get yourself a 3% discount consider yourself very lucky and then anything above that is icing on the cake
Also consider searching in the midwest as your chances of an allocation and a discount go up significantly but factor in transportation and your comfort level with buying out of area.
If you want the car buy it. For an averagely spec'd 4S the difference between 3% and 5% is going to come down to a couple of $K and not to say that it is not better in your pocket than the dealers but at the end of the day in 4, 5 or 6 years time do you think it will matter. The flip side is waiting forever for the perfect deal might have you car-less for another year or two

I was told 5% at one dealer, MSRP at an other NYC area. This was just with sending email/text asking for 7% off...both said June-July timeframe for delivery. This was for a coupe. I did not ask about convertible/targa.

Got allocation for Targa S4. Discount off MSRP was just under 2% after decent amount of back and forth.
Delivery scheduled for end of April.
Happy to have one. Called 5 dealerships in the area and only one dealer was able to come through. Would have paid full priced, but this small discount does make me feel that little bit better about myself and my negotiating skills :-)

Amelen,
You seem like you are all over the place - pricing, discounts, etc. - M8 vs 911, etc. We probably have all be there one time or another. I would recommend waiting. Take a month or three to consider what you want, forget about a few K as that while not an insignificant amount of money... It is if you do not get what you want.
Why not wait for a month or so, consider getting a nice used 911.2 variant of your choice, and if you do not like it, you probably will not loose much as you bought used and didn't take a hit in depreciation. Better yet, if you are new to Porsche, buy a few year old one with CPO. You get a lot of bang for your buck, and would not regret it. My first porsche was a 1978 911 SC targa, bought my Sr. Year in college (12 year old car at the time) $10K. It treated me well for 7-8 years (not one issue minus oil changes and tires and 30K miles), and I sold it and bought a new one, got more than I paid for it. No harm in getting a few year old model, and see if you like it.

I'm also in the New York area looking to order a C4S and the dealers are telling me the shortage of 911's is mostly because so many cars have been held at the ports awaiting EPA and CARB approval for the new model year. Sounds as if that's about to be resolved and by the end of the month the picture will look significantly different.
I checked with 4 dealers. One told me he has an open allocation for a March build, another told me has has open allocations for both February and March, and the other two dealers said to expect delivery late Spring. I did not even ask about pricing and one of the dealers mentioned a 2% discount. So I'm assuming I can do better than that.
