Best Dealers and Pricing in Northern California
I'm about to take the plunge! The 2000 996C2 will be replaced by a Cayenne S. We need more space. What can I say!
Any way, where should I go to buy my new Cayenne?
Who has the best reputation and pricing?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I learned. Some of this is obvious, but bears saying.
1 - Buy on the last day, or two of the month.
2 - Work with dealers with large inventories.
3 - Work multiple dealers. If they are hungry (end of month and large inventories) they will readily increase discounts. I received follow-up calls from two dealers yesterday, both ready to beat the best deal I had at that point.
4 - Don't forget 2003's. There are a few of these out there. In fact, the first offer I got was a $5000 discount off MSRP for a lightly loaded 2003. I didn't have to work a bit to get to this discount.
5 - The starting point for 2004's was $3000 off MSRP at several dealers. All it took was a moderate push.
6 - I ended up at $4500 off on a 2004 Sand White with Havana/Sand Beige smooth leather, 19" wheels, Porsche center caps, and variable assist steering. Had others to choose from, including bi-xenon lights and comfort seats, but most had options I didn't want (PCM, park assist, etc.).
E-mail me off-forum and I'll tell you what dealers I worked with.
Oh, and last but not least, all dealers were very professional. No "bait and switch" whatsoever.

Phil,
No, Cutter Motors doesn't do the volume to have either a good selection or great pricing. I went to LA Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills. Great selection (I think they had more than thirty on hand) and no BS.
