987 Discount on MSRP

Mine was a custom order. I saved just about 10%. MSRP was just under $67K.

Whilst ordering mine, the dealers in Houston were stuck
on MSRP.

So...

to the internet, Robin!

Of ten or so dealers to whom I sent emails,
most offered $4,000 off or 5%.

So I would send an email to your nearby (or not so
nearby -- they can mail them right to you these days)
dealers with a specific option list and ask them for their
best price. Tell them you are shopping other dealers
as weil.

See what you get.

Best,

- Mark

MSRP discounts on Porsches, like many other brands, has a lot to do with what you're buying and when you are buying it. If you are buying an 07 in December of this year and it's on someone's lot, you're going to get a heck of a discount... the 08's are already being ordered and delivered.

With this obvious stuff stated, I've been watching it carefully as I dream about buying a brand new Pcar one day :ah:

I see a typical 5% off MSRP, and 10% off MSRP if the new model year can be ordered.

My good friend Mark (Houston_C4S) and I are starting a new business and hopefully I'll have enough income from this new venture to buy myself a new S just like he did in a year or so. If the venture goes really, really, well, I'll bump that model choice right up to a new 997TT, thank you very much

I ordered a well optioned '07 987S in September '06 with a list price of $62K and negotiated the deal at 5% over invoice. With 6% tax it came to $56K, the car was only $53K.

Thanks for the responses. The reason I ask, is that I was thinking about trading in my 05 for a new 07. My initial hope was to pay approximately a $16K differential between the new car and the trade-in. The MSRP on the new one is $63K and my car is in perfect condition with only 5K miles on it.

I thought I would have a chance to get about a $58K purchase price and $42K trade-in value. Didn't work out that way.

I talked to four dealers and the best case scenario is a $21K difference . Seems pretty unreasonable to me ($62 purchase, $41 trade). I have the option to sell the car, then purchase, but I'm not excited about paying a bunch of sales tax.

Anyhow, I decided to keep the car I have and buy new wheels :dance:

Raddoc, this was a very-very good deal! Best I have ever seen on a new, custom ordered P-car. This is a 14.5% discount ($9,000). Someone would be lucky to get this amount of a discount on a hold-over from a prior model year, and you got it on a custom order for the new model year. Good job!
