Porsche supposedly stopped that now, but the dealers got used to driving a hard bargain. Some years ago I had to pull in a favor just to get a 911 Turbo S with Euro delivery at MSRP, after 4 dealers told me either "no" or to come back in a year. Toronto is a much more saturated market, so I'd definitely ask for something off.
Exporting Cayennes to China I'm sure was quite lucrative. I stopped by the dealer in Beijing last Jan and they had a Cayenne Turbo for the equivalent of $449,000 CAD.
Are you not seeing a cooling down with the luxury tax? Also reading about property values dropping there. I mean foreign cash probably isn't impacted all that much, these things help some of that foreign cash get clean.

Is there anyone that can check with a Porsche source and get some advice about the Thermal Glass in particular?
Thanks,
Rob.

I have this issue on my '18 Panamera with the thermal glass. Getting toll by mail emails. Going to try another location on the windshield to see if that works. Unfortunately and ironically, what would be helpful is an old school toll booth with a gate. I could move the EZ Pass around until it went up. Unfortunately the only ones I know of that are still like that are at airport parking lot exits. Not convenient to go check lol.

I posted a thread inquiring about this and remember some saying they had no issues with either. We have the suction cup version of SunPass, no issues ever on our MB S Coupes with TG but if it becomes an issue on the CY and if the pano roof location doesn't work we would just hold out the window as we pass through the toll area.

I am still struggling with my EZPass in NJ. It randomly works. I replaced my EZPass thinking it was an issue with the pass itself. No luck. Now I am considering an externally mounted solution.

In the Panamera at least it would interfere with the sliding shade. My transponder and sticky tape are a little too bulky to fit, and I have the newer, smaller transponder available in our area. Does the Cayenne not have a sliding shade?

If it will not cause an issue, it is still an odd place to mount it. Do you remove it if you decide open your sunroof?

In Southern California, thetollroads.com just sent us a letter saying they are replacing transponders with a sticker in June. So a sticker shouldn't affect the shade at all. Even my small transponder is attached to the sunroof on my MB E300 and doesn't interfere with the operation of the sunroof or shade.
But coming up- really hoping those of us in CA won't have issues with the sticker being read either through the 2 "magic" spots on either side of the rear view mirror mounting or the sunroof.
