Do they come with spare engines? Can't seem to go a single weekend without seeing a Z06 pop a motor. New car looks nice, but I can't see them being any more reliable than the last gen.



People that buy Porsche are not exactly budget conscious. They'll have no problem selling at these prices.

My 2002 996 cab has a sticker of 100k. So the prices are not really out of line considering what they sold for 10 years ago. With that being said, I bought mine in 2004 and paid $65k for it with 7k miles on it. Retail is for suckers

I'll wait till Mooty buys 3 or 4 of them and pick up one of his at slightly used pricing.

 

Right, about those cheap engines..
We blew a few Mustang engines, lowly 300HP V8, you say cheap, but by the time the shop put it in, tunes it bla bla bla its 12K.

I guess if no warranty each time you blow a Corvette engine it will cost you 15-20K by the time you get the car back.

If they honor 100K drive train warranty, now we're talking! Thats like owning a CPO Porsche!

 

You may get 1 engine out of them. Probably stops there. Better have your checkbook handy.

 

You can already see the depreciation in used 991 prices. If you spend a little time hunting around it is not hard to find '12 991 S cabs for $25-30k off sticker with 3-5k miles on them. Park Place has one with a few hundred miles on it and they are ASKING $20k off MSRP. I understand PCNA had $5-8k in dealer incentives on them thru end of '12.

 

RE: 991S price points.

A buddy of mine just bought a new 2012 991S with a 7 spd. manual. MSRP was $118K. He got it for $95K.

 

Have had several new corvettes in the past. One major reason I will not buy another is the hassle they put you through to get warranty work authorized. Then, they give a grease monkey some OJT on your car so he can get experience fixing drivetrains. In a nutshell, the stealerships are notorious for screwing both the customer and GM.

 

Bernanke Bucks have been a boon for luxury goods makers. Let's see what happens after the anticipated ~20% tax hit (fed, state, local) coming down the pipeline....

 

I just saw used non cpo 991, CS w pdk with 3k miles or so for 98k... Don't know what msrp was originally... Not heavily optioned but I think we will see more flooding the market. Paying retail msrp is for suckers.

Now I rather keep my gt3 for that price... Unless my back can't handle the car anymore

 

Hennessy had one the other week....991 C4S coupe...MSRP $168k !!!!
Oh and it's sold

wsh

 

 

+1

 

May be Hennessy is living up to his name! Drinking too much .... Cognac.

 

BTW, he does have another C4S / 2013 for $160+

 

There's an *** for every seat.

It is GT Silver, so I can see why it is so much
