Discount from MSRP on 987

[longislander1]

I could be wrong, but I believe someone on here has posted that the Preferred Package on the S includes power seats, so that would explain the price difference. Of course, it doesn't say that on the Porsche web site, but we know how wrong that can be.

I registered this morning and stumbled on this thread.

I'm 3 weeks away from delivery on a new 05 Boxster S at Hoehn (Carlsbad, CA). They are offering me $2500 off 59k msrp as the first offer. I want to get around 3500-4000 off. I have emailed one other dealer in LA who has not yet replied.

Just wanted some input on if this is a fair offer in CA and any tips on getting a good deal in the Orange County/LA area.

FYI, I did not order this boxster. It is one that was scheduled to arrive.

Thanks!

It is always hard to know these things in advance and market dynamics move form week to week. Hey, if you are ready to sign on the line and have your dough in hand, make them the offer you want to make them.

If they let you walk, you know the number was too low FOR THEM!

Another way to do this is to send emails to dealers all around SOCAL with a firm offer to buy at your price. You might be surprised how many respond!

I will try that. I'll make them a firm offer and see if anyone bites.

Thanks for the advice.

You bet. Keep us posted!

Good luck.

I emailed an offer this morning. MSRP was $57,745... I asked for $58,300 OTD.

Their response was $58,800.

I'm trying for $58,500.

Also going to talk to Hoehn and see if they can beat that.

You are pretty close.

Good luck!
