With 80+ leftover 2025 911's (base/S/T) on Autotrader, what % off MSRP should I be shooting for? 2026's are already on the lot.
Understandably GT3 would likely be over MSRP, but there are a few available GT's as well.
It's been years since I saw Porsche list their NEW inventory on autotrader/cars.com/cargurus... why the switch back now? Slow sales?

I'm interested in an S or T with a slap stick

 

I got my dealership to come down 4k off the MSRP without much effort. That was the compromise after I asked to to see the dealer invoice pricing, which they basically laughed at me when I asked. Good luck, they know they have the stronger position in a negotiation with a car/price point like this.

 

if you can GT a dollar off MSRP please write about it in detail. You can buy an S that’s a stick?

 

Only way to really find out is to ask...every dealer will be different.

Looking at Porsche Finder or any other dealer sales advertising platform is not really a good gauge of available inventory. Many times, the dealers just use these platforms to show cars that are already spoken for and not really available. Also, those non-dealer site make their money on number of advertising slots sold. Right now, the new and re-sale industry are hurting...so it may be a just a coincidence or maybe dealers got a sweet deal for advertising slots outside of Porsche finder.

As you know, dealers are not just ordering 992 models just to have them sit in the hope of selling them. A buyer needs an allocation just to place an order, and dealers usually don't get more than a handful every quarter. If you find a new car available at a dealer, good chance it was ordered and the buyer backed out somewhere along the ordering/delivery process. So, you would think these cars will be discounted just to move the car after a buyer backs out, but it's usually the opposite. Dealers usually have list of potential buyers, so more time than not these cars sell rather quickly....at MSRP or higher. Another point is the Porsche dealer network is pretty tight.... if a dealer looks like they may get stuck with a car that will not sell quickly (odd options or poor color combos) that car may get traded within the dealer's network for a more desirable easier to sell model.

Although the current sales environment (tariffs) and Porsches wrong market guesses (EV, China sales) have sales and profits overall lower than expected... discounts on new 992's are rare at this time.

But like I stated...Only way to really find out is to ask...every dealer will be different.

 

if you’re in a large metropolitan area like New York Chicago LA or Miami chances are you’re not gonna pay anything less than MSRP even for a car that’s sitting on the lot

 

Most of the 911's look like custom orders where the buyer backed out (based on the very specific options, a bunch of leather everywhere lol, color matched interior items, etc).
I talked to my friend who works at a P dealer in Southern CA and he admits sales are slow overall, so that might be the reason. Im sure most of these orders were 6-12 months ago, and a LOT has changed in the last 3 months and a lot will change in the coming 3 months

 

Just keep bumping around dealerships. I'm in Socal where supposedly you can't get a car without an ADM (off the lot or allocations besides bases/S's) but I've come across discounting off MSRP and ordering a GTS. Every dealership is definitely different as far as what they will do. I already have an allocation and so have really just been checking out color combinations, options, etc but deals do surface. Target smaller/slower dealerships.

 

Be happy with 0%. You can ask for a discount, but highly unlikely you’ll get it. In some markets, you’ll need to go over 0% to get the car. If you’re waiting to buy a car at a discount, by the time it happens (…if it happens again) the MSRP on the cars will have increased even more such that you’re paying more than if you bought now at a 0% mark up.

 

That was my case. I put a deposit on a CPO that popped up within a few hours, and it was on Porsche Finder for weeks until it went through inspection, paperwork and finally they took it off the day the auto transport came to pick it up.

I had the same experience. I shopped around a lot, and you get very different results from different dealerships. I had two contact me after my initial interaction to offer me cars at a discount off MSRP (minor, I think 3%). Also when helping my mom lease a Taycan, the variation in deals were mind boggling.

 

Personally I couldn't fathom spending 170k on something that is a left over and not exactly what I want... just to save 5k.

 

Haven't heard of any discounting here in the mid-Atlantic and at least a few months ago, allocations weren't guaranteed even for base and S cars.

Let's see some objective data. Anyone with a documented discount on a DELIVERED new 911 in the last year? Not CPO, not Taycan, etc.

I could be wrong, but the only minor discount I could see on new would be a horrific spec where the buyer backed out. Haven't even heard of that yet.

 

If a dealer has a waiting list for an allocation, logic dictates there will be no discount.

 

A lot of cars from dealers are customer cars that still end of on CarGurus or Autotrader but they are sold an spoken for. There new inventory gets automatically posted because of their 'system'.

 

that may be true for stock/rendering photos. .. but these are with actual 20-50 images of the car, which they dont post for presold units

also its been years since Porsche listed new inventory on autotrader

any one with actual 992 buying experience that can share their experience?

 

i did buy a new GT4 for $5k under msrp while most dealers were asking $10k over. Desirable spec. This was in Nov 2020 during covid
