Most Porsche dealers would be getting their inventory from auction or trade-in, and the major source of this is off-lease. Of the leases, over 75% or 36 month, so with the '04 being 5 years old, it is reasonable that there is a low volume of these at the dealerships. If you were to look at the '05's and '06's, there would be quite a few more, and they will all be interchangeable in a customer's mind.

This sounds like a suckers trap to me. The dealer I go to did the same thing. Needed to move a turbo by the weekend or they have to send it to auction, but I have to come in by the weekend to make it happen. What I found is they weren't really into discounting the turbo much at all.
I have a CS too and I think unloading it may be the bigger issue. I'm not sure at $30k they will sell on the private market. Unless you have room in your driveway for another car, maybe a trade then auction is the way to get rid it.

You don't mind if I just sit back while you guys discuss this?
I find both sides have merit. Although I am not ready to do anything and have no need to trade in a perfectly good turbo with 3 years left on my extended warranty. Although that marine blue black on turbo body is gorgeous.

As for the gorgeous marine blue CTT, here's a teaser picture.

Nice CTT. What tires do you have on that one? Are those Toyo's?

As said before sometimes shopping is half the fun.

"we want your car" blah blah blah
Just a scam to get you in the door and try to hook you.

Oh I understand the need for ride height on the Pepper, the 993's would never make it through 60+ cm (and mine wouldn't make it out of the garage with 1 cm!).
