Default Is 5% off of MSRP a good deal?

5% seems to be the best I can do I was shooting for seven. Dealer Who I really like and I’ve done a ton of business with told me at auction they were going for MSRP.
What’s the number most people are seeing for discount ? the car was ordered for me. Thanks carl

Its a sellers market still. Take the 5 and be happy if you ask me.

Are they offering an actual allocation or just an order? 5% is really good right now...if it comes with an allocation. Places in my area that would do 5% for allocations 6 months ago are not discounting at all. Later this year the supply demand imbalance could correct making a higher discount possible. Or...allocations could be as hard to come by as they are now.

5% is phenomenal right now. I've purchased 6 porsches (incl 4 911s) since 2016 and I;m not getting 5%.

The car is built and on a boat Rcc Asia
should be at the dealer in two weeks I ordered it in November. 992SMT Carrera white 124 MSRP. This is the 18th car I’ve bought from them in addition I referred 16 more over the last 20 years. So I guess it’s not like I just walked in off the street. Thanks for the input. Carl

So what was the purpose of your question?

My original question was about the discount. My last reply was a reply to some of the other comments. Hope that’s OK . Carl

5% from MSRP sounds pretty good right now. Hopefully that's not a figure you're being quoted based on something you're trading in. That'd shed a whole new light on it, or maybe shadow would be a better word.

Considering dealers make tons of money on options and your C2S is a relatively skinny build (hard to believe a C2S at $124k is skinny), that’s an outstanding discount. You’d be hard pressed to get 5% discount on a car with $30k more in options right now.

No trade just a straight up deal. I do need to figure out what I’m going to do with my GT 4. I love the car I just don’t drive it now @8700 miles:in 4.5 yrs. A broker offered 79 its yellow with buckets full leather . I think retail is mid 80s? .Carl

I had a dealer try to tell me I can order it whatever way I want, but that the typical Porsche range for a C2S is $148k-153k, and that anything below $140k might affect resale. Hint hint wink wink nod nod. Let's just say I started talking to a different dealer.

Now I'm sure I could option a C2S for $124k but you are right, that is skinny, and tough to do. I was originally at $133-135 and have settled near $138-139. This is not a short term car for me, and I figure I would regret skimping on a few options in order to bring it lower. And for a discount, I got nothing.

$138k gets you a VERY well equipped S. Upgraded wheels, Premium Pkg, Sport Pkg, Full Leather, Metallic Paint, Glass Power Roof, RWS, Upgraded LED headlights. What else do you need? That dealer is full of ****.
