I went to my local Porsche dealer and in our first casual conversation -- no negotiating yet -- he said he could do $2K off an ordered car with a sticker around $59-$60K. Based on the 6% off that I read about in another thread, it seems like I should do around $3600 off. I live in the northeast, on Long Island. I'm willing to travel to a dealer further away, but only if I get an added incentive to do so. What's your take on pricing?

I'm also trading in a '95 968 cab with 56K miles (original owner) and I'm wondering whether I'll do any better on a trade-in price from a Porsche dealer rather than, say, a Chevy dealer where I've also been looking at C6 Corvettes (although I'm leaning toward Porsche). Sometimes I think there's no difference. The traded car ends up with a wholesaler regardless of make.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
