Cayenne U.S. sales are holding essentially flat at 2997 units for Jan-Mar 2006 verses 3093 for the same period 2005, so it seems the sales decline for the Cayenne has halted and the Cayenne will likely end up with 11 to 12 thousand units for 2006.

What did you base your "lack of sales" statement on?

IIRC, we had our Cayenne launch event on March 16th or 17th of 2003. IIRC again, the 2004's were at port, or approaching port, on that day. THey were released on or about april 1.."makes alot of sense" but it happened.

BTW, the titanium info is correct, IIRC(having fun with IIRC today)

 

Finally, somebody that I have some faith in.....ALFIE. I have no doubt (and never did) about the Ti edition coming. What I do NOT believe and will NOT until I see it is the intentionally skipping of a model year. They can have 2007 from August through March and then early release the 2008 in March/April.

I'm done with this thread. Done arguing with naive believers. When it happens, if it does, I will the first to own up to it and say, you guys had some credible info. But how many times have people come on here (including "connected" people) and made claims that never happened???

See you next March

 

I understand it makes little sense at this point, but, if i'm right, you buy my first night at the venetian next time i am in town...deal?

j/k lol

 

Won't have to wait until March. We will know if there is a 2007 model year by August. Or sooner since dealers won't have any 2007 allocation months prior to August if the no 2007 model year rumors are true. We are almost at that point now since to get August production you would need to place your order within the next month or so.

Assuming for the moment that the rumour of the Titanium Package is correct, would it be a better deal than negotiating to buy the current model at near invoice? Based on history, would a special package have any collector value?

 

I wouldn't expect the Titanium Package would have any "collector value". The upside of the package would be that you are likely to get bundled options for less than if you purchased them separately. So compared to a current 2006, the special package versions are likely to be a better value (assuming you want the options they are giving with the package). The downside is the Titanium Package models will be showing up right before the refreshed 2008 comes out early next year. That could hurt their value right after you get them. You should see what kind of pricing you can get from current inventory. If someone comes up with the right price you can start enjoying a Cayenne now.

Alfie, I'd take that bet but I am heading out of town in 2 weeks for good. Heading east! But I'd definitely buy you a beer

 

makes perfect sense. find a 98 mazda miata, there ain't no such beast. they ran 97 through to an early intro of the 99 model year (complete update). there are other examples. suppose they could do a run of '06s and badge them 07, but then someone would notice the build date.

I think you are confused between making perfect sense and just finding an example. Congrats on finding an example.

 

dell, are you heading east as in Ohio, or as in Boston/NYC?

 

East as in NC

I wish we were heading back to the NE! But the winters I could do without and I am still a short flight away from Boston for when I need to get my BoSox fix!

 

I just bought a CS this weekend, sticker was $68.4K. They initially offered it to me for $62K, I ended up buying it for $60K.

Catena Porsche up the road had a similar CS that they offered me for $59K, basically the invoice price, but it didn't have the tow package, which was a necessity for me.

 

congrats...post pix

 

As reported in this month's Pano, all Porsche models sales were up, except the Cayenne; so I would expect that discounts/price negotiations will continue or perhaps increase.
