Default Sorry...another price question

Sorry guys...this is my first post here and I'm looking to get my first P-Car, a 2006 C4 Tip. The Tip is for the wife. I'm coming out of a BMW M5 and looking for an all wheel sports car. I was considering a used Audi RS/6 BUT I always wanted a Porsche. Well, I finally have my opportunity, my wife gave me the go ahead as long as she gets to drive it. She doesn't know how to drive a manual and I KNOW how she drives so teaching her how to shift is out of the question.

BOTTOM LINE: I have lined up two new 2006 C4 Tips, one at MSRP $99K and the other at MSRP $94K. I don't want to squeeze the dealer from all profit, but I do want to get a good deal. At this point, what is a good DISCOUNT from MSRP?
(BTW- The big difference between the two is that the $99K car has PASM and NAV.

I am going to buy this week so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

For the 06, I think at least you should get around 10% off MSRP. Good luck

I think you should have your wife learn to drive a manual on a beater (or rental).

Once she learns how to drive a stick then decide. For me, and a lot of enthusiasts, driving a stick is more rewarding.

Was your M5 a manual?
If so, then you're gonna be bored driving the tip very quickly.

Yes, I may get bored but I may also like the Tip as well. I'll have to live with it for a while before I know.

Any other price suggestions?
