OP have you talked to dealership about your situation and your profession?
How far is the dealership from your place of work?

Why don't you reach out to the finance office either on Friday or Saturday before delivery and negotiate the final price as well as after purchase products. Think of Friday or Saturday as same as your pick up day. If they agree to your preferred pricing accept the terms. If not, decline it and ask for the final amount. Take the final cashier's check or draft or whatever they need on the day off delivery. You can also discuss the items remotely. I think the negotiation power would be the same either way.

 

My apologies. I did not mean to offend anyone.

 

I don’t think what you said is remotely offensive. Maybe just inaccurate. I don’t need anyone’s permission to take time off work, but I have so many scheduled obligations that I restrict myself from doing it. I basically need permission from myself and I’m an @sshole of a boss when it comes to myself 😄.

Spontaneously taking time off work is an incredible pain in the ***, if it has not been planned literally months in advance since my schedule is booked that far ahead.

 

Same. Cancelling clinic is a nightmare and I feel guilty unless it’s for a damn good reason.

I used an agent for my last car, but it was someone I’ve known for awhile - sometimes salesmen will act as agents and charge a small fee for the service. It was a huge convenience, I have to say - well worth the money.

You can always negotiate over the phone, wire the money and then have them bring the car to you. You don’t *have* to go to the dealership

 

I did all of my negotiation via email and text. SA sent me the estimate. I checked their TVM calculations - which were WRONG, and then agreed to the add-ons and prices for those. Then went into the dealer to close on the loan through Porsche. You're paying cash, so then you could wire that over on a weekday.

 

Pay in advance, and I would think that most dealers would bring the car to you a reasonable distance.
We arranged for delivery at PEC Atlanta (we were supposed to get European delivery) and all had to be paid for to the penny in advance.
The car was buffed and ready when we got there. (They kept it hidden from us to increase the drama).
We didn't go for any dealer add-ons.

 

This exactly.

The Porsche dealer should be willing to do a white glove delivery to your home (assuming you are within the same county). Wire on Friday, have it delivered on Friday or the weekend to your home (or your preferred location).

Taking delivery of a car should be the least of one's concerns when buying a Porsche.

 

I think OP should just parachute into the dealership with a suitcase of cash.

@Triathlonkid were you able to pick up your car? Pics?

 

not yet still at port hopefully soon

 

I paid for my car with my Amex. Had to do in two transactions since their merchant facility couldn't accept the whole amount in one hit lol.

Was worth it for the points since im planning on more travel in the coming years.

 

Wow I wish I could do that. I can't believe your dealer accepted amex

 

That's crazy! What dealership let you do this? They did you a huge service and ate at least 3%.

 

I paid 1.3%
