Just an FYI.
Thanks....I was looking for that....pt

Not to be confused with Trunk Monkey

As I said in another thread our inventory got picked clean and so did a ton of inventory around the country. I have been selling most cars around 20 to 21 % off. If you're worried about what the car is worth in the future then dont buy a car, they're all worth less in the future. The cheap finance dollars ended today.

Well then I'd bet the $10K is still available as well!

If you have cash budget (or external financing) to absorb costs - it is a once a lifetime chance to jump on a great PDK+SC '09 car with up to %20 off MSRP.

Everybody say this will never repeat as soon as current 09 overstock will be sold. But now may be a bit late - most of nicely optioned cars is gone from what I see. Dealers still have a lot of 6sp manual and PDK without SC left - but it is not exactly what '09 car is hot about.

Where did you see that? Not according to PCNA or PFS in fact I had a new rate and residual sheet from PFS in my mailbox this morning. The trunk money is still there but the cheap rates are gone for now.

The question is, if someone was really in the market why would they have taken a chance on when it may or may not come back? Not to mention its not on the 2010's and the 2009 inventory got picked clean of the really good stuff.

Wow thats typical Porsche, the memo they sent to us dealers today didnt mention it. I'll put in a call to our rep. THanks! Looks like the 1.9 is extended but not the lease rates.

Aha! It does say that, although inventory availability will be scarce.

I think that question has been answered, the 1.9 is back the cheap lease rates are gone. My opinion is that now in Oct Porsche basically has to lower residuals and that makes leasing a 2009 less attractive so they just did away with the cheap lease money.

The 1.9 is really no big deal on 911's since the trunk money is always a better deal. If you're a cayman or boxster shopper its still a good deal.
