I ordered my 2009 C2S last May and just picked it up a couple of weeks ago. I received $5k off MRSP, but this deal was before the economy changed. It may be possible to get a better deal now.

plz

Assuming the web site is kept up to date, they have almost as many 2008 cars. Wonder what the discount is on the 2008's?



Edit: just realized I was looking at the used inventory -- only 4 new 2008 997's. Still, you would assume the discount on the 2008 will be even more than the 2009 ?

Yes. Given the current economy, if you can't get at least 20% on a used 2008 then let 'em keep it.

I have not completed any deals since it just keeps getting better and better. I do believe that a 10% discount is possible for the 09's based on my shopping experience but a 20% off on an 08 is tempting. Is 20% off really possible?

10% is possible. Whether it is likely is another issue. Obviously they wouldn't be able to justify selling a lot of cars at that kind of a discount, but in the slow months, it's possible they would be willing to take it.

I doubt that any dealer is going to be jumping at an offer of 20% off an 08 though. That is going to be a big loser for the dealership. But hey, if you can get it, go for it. I'm just saying I wouldn't expect a lot of dealers to offer their cars that far back of invoice.

Likemystoppie?

Enjoy the deep discounts while you can. They're coming to an end with PAG announcing another 25% reduction in production.


Dealer Reps are taking CARS away from dealers.............

Cars will be in MUCH shorter supply.

plz

Stoppie, taking them away and doing what with them, crushing?
Not sure there is any market where they can be sold these days?
Or will they mothball the cars til better markets return?

I'm thinking they're shutting down the production plants and cutting staff to reduce overhead.

Likemystoppie?

No, taking cars that are 'allocated' to dealers. Meaning they've NOT been produced.


I should have clarified.

plz

Thanks Stoppie, that makes way more sense.

Sorry Chris. Just caught up to your question. Honestly, I can't remember. I think it was $500 open, $900 closed trailer. Mine was an open trailer because that is what was moving soon. Had two oil drips from the mini above mine. No worries. If it can't survive that, I bought the wrong car.

This production cut strategy can work for a while, its also going to mean that smaller/weaker dealers are going to go under, they won't have anything to sell. That has to happen at some point.

Of course, the other option would be to produce cars and offer 2% financing to see how many potential buyers that would shake loose. Maybe PCNA could get in line at the Fed window, like everybody else.

I have been shopping around for awhile now calling dealers all over the east coast and just got an quote from a dealer in FL. I will be ordering this car. What do you guys think?

Payments will definetly change but selling price will not. I can sell you a 911 carrera with an MSRP of $83,750 for $73,224.01 Thats my best deal. Based off a lease right now you would be looking at $898 + tax a month 12K miles per year with $5000 total out of pocket for 39 months.

in trading, this is called talking your book.

In the money selling game Porsche is not all that motivated and their new rates reflect their lack of desire to do a whole lot of financing.


Watt, after spending so many years as a trader most of them as a MM I look at managing inventory in much the same light as I managed my positions as a MM. Inventory can decay just like options.
