2010 TT Pricing - ?
All..curious if anyone has heard of any dealer(s) offering discounts on new 2010 TT's as yet. Not sure of the rationale given the novelty in the market yet and what the latest strategy is on alotment and production slots for dealers - I would like to know if any of the guys got some incentives to move forward given the (still) reality of the NA economy. I am reading on some of these threads crazy pricing on 09's with glove box money et al...
I had ordered a car and the dealer now in my opinion, just starting to play games, and now re-thinking of a new 09 - or even 08 with low mileage -rather than a 2010..? My biggest obstacle is when you start paying that kind of money for a used car (08) or in the case of an (09) a soon to be 1 year old car - do you just suck it up and order the blasted thing. PDK would be my only concern as it is an option very desirable to our family and the one thing pushing me to pull the trigger in the first place - but we both drive a stick.....

Don't expect much, if any, discount. This, in the eyes of the dealer, is a revision/new model, though nothing much changed other than the tail lights and the engine got weaker.
They will want full pop when they start showing up in Jan. When they don't sell, they might discount. But due to Porsche reducing production, there won't be as many as years past. Tough time for a new one.
Do what I did - find a new '09 sitting, the deals were spectacular in September.

As for price, I'm sure the "first kid on the block" status will come at a premium (probably full msrp or close to it, give or take $10K in options.)
I keep hearing of unheard of discounting, so I think the reality check will come quickly -- ordering a Turbo w/PDK today would surely attract a descent discount (I'd say $10K for starters) and a shrewd buyer might hear of another of these unheard of discounts once the Turbo is in stock and unsold.

When I got mine on Aug 31st, there were 10 coupes left - 5 tips and 5 6sp. Half of the cars had weird options and color combos, so there you go!

Reconciled with the dealer...Basalt Black on Black, PDK, PTV - bunch of nice options....deposit given - back in cue and on the way - March or so after they can deliver the car with the lower lip painted...

I know some would say the Nissan GTR.. LOL The maintenance costs on that car would make any Porsche owner cringe.
So please don't pull the old "Porsche's are overpriced" card. Just because you can't afford one at the moment.
Don't forget this is a Porsche forum.

Over priced?? The 997 TT is one of the most affordable "Super Cars" around.. What other cars have this much power, standard options, reliability and pretty darn good gas mileage. For under a $150k? Heck.. Base msrp's for Lambo's and Ferrari's start at $200k

On that same note would like to know what the markup is on the Lambos, Ferraris and others including big automakers like Chevy for the Vette, ZR1 of course and the Nissan Skyline, wait I mean GTR?
Do Ferraris, Lambo and Porsches have similar Markups? Something inside me tells me that the Porsche isn't marking up their offerings as much as others. THough I think it is much more than what the big automakers are marking!
True, I cannot afford a brand new out the door 997.2 at the moment. That is why I'm always mulling over getting a used 997.1. But my woman wants me to get a new one. Truthfully I don't want to take the hit in depreciation; when I know I can take that difference get her that Panamera we test drove. The 4S not the Turbo on that one.
