Need Advice on a New Boxster S purchase

[Brucelee]

You have a problem of sorts.

Now is a great time to buy a leftover Boxster and a lousy time to sell your C6 (esp in your area).

Tell me a bit more about your C6 and I can develop some REAL prices and strategies for moving that car.

Regarding the Porsche, the absolute best time to buy this type of car is between 12/26 and 12/31.

Your bargaining power will never be better.

On the C6, the same thing in reverse holds true. Your Porsche dealer does not want that car right now and his offer will reflect that indifference.


Good luck.

Thanks for the advice guys...I visit the dealer on Saturday to talk about the purchase. I now may have a private buyer considering the Vette. So fortunately I may go that route and negotiate my deal on the Boxster.

The help is much appreciated...

Edmunds now has option prices loaded for 2005 Porsches on their site. You should be able to get the car at or just above invoice this time of year, maybe even cheaper if you wait til December.

Now on the Vette...gonna be tough to get much on trade due to season and the natural depreciation on the car. Have them show you the Manheim report to see the floor on what your car's worth. If you're not willing to take the $10K hit (with the tax savings and offset by the amazing deal on the 987) sell it privately.

Net, you will end up with the better car at a decent price (even considering the loss on the Vette). I got 6% off on a 2006 last month, but would have taken an 05 at cost if I could have found one with my specs.
