Gents, Seriously contemplating trading my 2010 Chevy 2500 HD crew cab pick up for a diesel Cayenne. I'm going to drive one tomorrow. Of course I realize that I'd be better off selling my truck myself, which I am prepared to do once they tell me how bad they're going to kill me on a trade.
Is it too early to expect a (decent) discount from my selling dealer? I previously purchased a new '10 911 from the same dealer.
I'm thinking 8% off sticker. Am I expecting too much since the diesels are just arriving on our shores?
Thanks for any input you might have.

5% is all the dealer I spoke to would move. Too new, too few at this point.

Heck guys I want to order mine for my wife, with Euro delivery, and it is an assurred deal for them.
My offerred discount is Zero point 0 per cent . Zippo nada nothing.
That is what really put the Mercedes in play here. We have looked at the range of SUV's for the first time ever, but the Porsche really was the first choice. That was confirmed once we looked at the Range Rover and ruled that out for her.
The Mercedes dealer did not get our last business 2 years ago and is putting their best foot forward all the way around for a ML 350 Blue Tec. He is working out a discount, plus throwing in the Mercedes scheduled A and B services for as long as I own the car, which is at least $4-5K or more, conceirge service with them picking up and returning the car to you at the services, free loaners, ... so it separated from the Cayenne by about $20,000 less for the same options. The euro delivery is not in that as of course that is my decision.
I like my Porsche dealer and all of that but he is 40 miles away one way and the MB dealer is 5 miles away. 5% on this car is significant enough that I better call a few dealers.
$1000 would not make me change from my Porsche dealer, but $5000, or the $20,000 in the case of the MB is enough.

I'm in Canada and just took delivery of my new Diesel. Got 2% and they claimed that was only because thry wanted to bring me into the Porsche family (my first P car). I am also told that people are loving these cars ( I certainly love mine) and that the lineup is forming.

I know what you mean but it is still a MERC.... (sorry merc owners out there but i am sure you see my point)
It is more $ but it would be worth the pain IMO.
Here in Oz a new porcshe turbo with a few options runs around $250k a diesel is around $160k and our dollar buys 4% more than your USD. so dont feel to bad paying MSRP.

BTW, MB is blowing out their GL models, bluetec, 450 and 550 models. If we were looking for a 3rd row SUV, it would have been tempting with $13,000 off (18% off msrp) a well optioned model with 2 year lease and 18 month opt out with no penalty....

Texas, if every dollar counts (and why shouldn't it), you can try re-negociating the Cayenne without ED. The dealer has to pay $3000 for ED (although they get allocated an extra car), so if you are bargaining under MSRP it seems the cost basically comes out of your discounts from threads I have read elsewhere.
I read from some angry "New Boxster" buyers in another forum, that they negotiated good discounts on that brand new in demand model ... but then were refused either ED, or the discounts. I.e. they could not get both.

I am a "Porsche" guy and I like Porsche and the Porsche style and a lot of that . But I am not blind to Porsche as this is much more of a truck than a sports car. Mercedes was building trucks and diesels before there ever was a Porsche. I have used their big trucks all over the world in tough conditions too.
So the Porsche is first, and I like Porsche, and the all guys and help here. For $5,000 I would not bat an eye, for $10,000 I would smile and just go with it, but at $20,000 and knowing Mercedes trucks it deserves some serious consideration from me.
As I said to someone else, I saw a nice CPO Cayman S for $35 at the dealer. I could almost order her ML and have a Cayman S back up car LOL LOL!
Ouch on your prices - Thanks though.

The Cayenne we built with options would have priced out at $69,500 so the 5% discount offered (which based on what everyone else is saying is pretty good) would have put us at $66,000 plus tax and license.
BTW, MB is blowing out their GL models, bluetec, 450 and 550 models. If we were looking for a 3rd row SUV, it would have been tempting with $13,000 off (18% off msrp) a well optioned model with 2 year lease and 18 month opt out with no penalty....

Ours is about $80 vs the ML diesel at $64. Then as I put above, the MB dealer put ALL the scheduled maintaince in it. I told him it could be 4 or 5 years and he said Ok, even if it is 10 years we will cover the A and B MB services.
So I will get $3-4 or so off at least, say the service is worth $4 as it is on the MB option list. That is getting near $25,000. I have to decide if I really like a Porsche high depreciation SUV truck that much, and it has to provide something else too, like driving fun From here in Texas to the farm in Nebraska, there is at least 2 turns. LOL LOL.

A little background.. I initially looked at a VW Touareg TDI. The dealer had a Exec model that the owner had driven for a few months, with 4600 miles on the odo. I drove it, and I was very impressed with the power. Yet, even with 4600 miles, they wanted full MSRP for the car, and their offer on my truck was insulting. I walked.
On the way home I stopped by my Porsche dealer (it's less than a quarter mile away) and mentioned the story to my sales guru. He said, 'why don't you buy a Cayenne?' That's when I found out that Porsche was going to begin importing diesels into the U.S.
I need the diesel because I have a small enclosed trailer that I occasionally put a couple m/c's in and head to the mountains. The gas V6 simply doesn't have the torque that the diesel does.

Very good point Steve. The Euro delivery had not come into the equation when we started on the pricing, nor were we set on the ED until we could drive the diesel and see when we could schedule the ED on both ours and Porsche side. I just put that in to attract the wife more and of course it would be fun.

Mercedes might have tempting deals, but just look at how many of them are on the road. If you ever plan to resale in the future, surely that's going to take into play on its resale value compared to Cayenne.
I test drove both and based on the driving dynamics, the choice was obvious. Not blinded by the Porsche brand of anything, but seeing how the Cayenne took a fast turn on highway on-ramp, I was sold.
