No official ad's for the recently announced trunk money here.
I had one dealer quote the wrong percentage split, and one not even acknowledge that it exists.
For the most part they have either low optioned spec cars, or test drive sleds. The two semi-well optioned 997's around are 4S's and have some sort of double secret probation sale price.
The '11's are rumored to hit the ground in June/July. Maybe Deja Vu all over again in September.
How do you say "zero down and zero percent" in German?

Think US sales are low now - wait until next year this time, we are likely to have a US value added tax on "luxury" goods, put in place sometime between November and January 2010. Mark it down.

I agree. Europe has some economic problems with some of the smaller member economies. The US has major problems with the largest states ( California, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Florida) and very significant problems with many other states. Asia is growing and Europe is doing "OK", relatively speaking. The US will need to start charging ( taxing) US citizens more going forward to pay their way and, additionally, to pay for what they have not been paying for over the last decades ( the last decade, in particular. This will done through increased taxes or debasement of the currency..... more likely, both. Europe and Asia won't be sending as much money here in the future.

I remember early this year the parking lot of Stevens Creek Porsche was shockingly empty, I thought the dealer was going under. But 2 months later its lot was full again. I asked them about it and they said they were just clearing the older models and later have the 2010 models in. They said their sale moved quite a bit of inventory.

Supply may be low, but demand is even lower. When they offered the huge incentives last year on the stock '09s, PCNA pulled a bunch of future buyers into the present with strong prices. A lot of us who bought then were probably in the 6-12 month time frame, but moved up because of the deals.
Now they're waiting for demand to catch up again.

i was sitting at suncoast waiting for my 911 in service one day and this guy was writing a check for a 140k+ C4S and i was saying "what the hell!" in my head... he pulled up with wife in a toyota and he just kept saying how he waited all his life to get a porsche and his wife finally said yes... thats all well and good but dropped 140+ on a C4S custom order when u could easily pick one up for under 100 and more than likely find one in the system the color combo and with options around what u wanted.... the guy taking the check kept reassuring him that paying msrp was a good deal and no incentives/discounts were available... (after i just received almost 29% off at another dealer only months before)

This link will list every Porsche dealer in the US by state. I did my "quarterly" tour today (about 3 hours of daydreaming). There are lots of new (08-10) cars spread out over the country, including GT3s and turbos/turbo cabs, although the majority of turbos are PDKs.

Talked to a Suncoast budy of mine yesterday. They're doing fine. Had a good month of March. The low inventory is due to two things he said. A deliberate cut back of cars on hand and fewer cars available by Porsche.
