It's pretty telling, also looking at some of the specs, it would seem that a lot
of these cars are "dealer spec" i/e fully loaded with PCM etc etc, there are
a couple that look like minimalist customer spec cars that someone has
backed out of ...

none of them though are particularly attractive, I didn't see one spec'ed with
the GT2 seats for instance, or excluding PCM, ...

these are going to be tough to move ...

So what's this, around 5-10% of the '10 allocation(s)?

Carlsen is looking for a $10k mark-up as well. Unreal. I guess the froth of the bubble days, both high-tech and real-estate, are still forefront in thier minds?

If you don't shop around, you are a moron. It is sooooo f'ing easy to buy from anywhere in the US, and have your car shipped to you.

That's typical Carlsen for you; I agree with this sort of inventory sitting in
Ca, paying anything over MSRP is plain nute ... 31 cars on lots in one state
alone ...

somewhere in the US there is a dealer with a car on the lot, who will sell
it at or below MSRP.

If I were in the market for a car off lot, I would show up with that inventory
count printed out ...

they can always say no ...

I recall someone a long time ago posting a search url that would suck all the
dealers inventory from the Porsche site, but I could not find reference to it,
so I'm afraid you will have to visit each dealer site and look at their
inventory ...

unless someone else can recall what the magic was ...

at a glance suncoast and champion both have 1 each, didnt look at the other
dealers ...

I have already talked to one dealer that is below sticker for a low MSRP car. Just does not have sport seats

This is why if you want to buy a new Ferrari you can only buy it from your local dealer.

Then there are still the people who walk in, dicker down the +15 to +9 and think that they got a deal...

It's no wonder why dealers persist in "market adjustment"...someone will buy the car.

Isn't there a way to check all dealers together versus going to each site? These site are typically not current.

Hoehn has a white and a black, highly optioned cars - oh, and they also have my former Guards 07 in case anyone's interested. Missin that car, but the time was right to move to a better street car (for me)!
