I have sold a couple of the green launch cars for under 80 grand, now that was when there was 10k cash back on them now there is only 8k but I am sure I could sell one for 80k you should be able to get that. The non S launch car is the white / gray car and there is 8k cash back plus you should get 10% off sticker plus the 8k cash back.

Rob,

New Country Porsche of Greenwich, CT has two new 2009 997 S Launch cars with PDK in Porsche Racing. One is listed at $80,995 and the other is listed at $81,995. You might be able to get an additional $2K out of them.

Also, Porsche of Nashua in NH has the same Launch car listed for $79,997.

Porsche of Buffalo, NY has two of these cars listed for $79,999.

So you certainly have better pricing options than what your local dealer is giving you.

Okay...yes I am not above a road trip so I will give these guys a call! I have seen the white car and the green car as well as my dealer has both on the lot. White car is sale priced down to $72k now and the green S at $89k albeit still too high according to the prices you guys have shown me here. Maybe a little comparative bargining is in order as I show my dealer the other options out there for cars at the price point I am looking for!

Okay yes I can see that. I will see what his final "sell" price is later next week and move on from there. But as said and noted a road trip may be in order!

Those prices are a joke, if no one else gives you a better price let me know. Shipping to your door for any dealer is no big deal so shop the country you dont have to take a road trip.

FYI PASM is standard on the S.

Chris did it...found the car I liked and could live with..didn't have 100% of things but had the most important (i.e. wanted black or nordic gold but settled for an oldie but goodie color which was the same color of my 1st car in med school which I sort of liked!)

you can add nav but it's probably about $3k.

in my personal opinion, the only reasons to do this instead of buying a cpo car is to get the pdk.
Drove PDK and liked it. Took getting used to but it does shift faster and the new DFI engine in the 2009 cars is awesome! Also dealer added PSE!

Not many of them left but yes it is. Took a little enlightenment and lets say things are tilting in my favor!

Repeat customer 3 Porsche from them and 4th overall if deal goes thru; pushed for and was offered 21% off MSRP/sticker plus a few min throw ins that I usually want done on my cars. Thinking..hmm

MDRob,

Sweet looking car! If I understand correctly, you got the dealer to add PSE?
