Buying from a Porsche dealer - discounts?

[rikwynn]

I'm buying tomorrow an '06 with few options. Lists at $47, my price $39,500. Incredible that I can buy a 987 for under $40K. That's 15% off MSRP and on a base car too. Surprised the dealer had that much room to move.

Congrasts! Good job. Post pictures ASAP.

Anybody know when the Z06s will start getting deals like that?

Perfect deal at a perfect time. This is an equivalent of the sub $50k S deals I was talking about, but this one's even better on a % basis. Congrats and do post pics.

Lets say you 've got 2 identical 2006 Porsche Boxster's (non-s), one brand new and another with 4,000 miles on it at the same dealership. Should you expect to get the brand new car cheaper than the used becuase they want that new car off their lot? Should you expect to try to get that used price down to more than 15% off its original MSRP? Becuase these identical cars MSRP around $48K-$49K and we are hearing deals where they are getting them at $40K or less. But that same car used with 4K miles will be listed at around $44K and I assume, you wouldnt be able to talk them down $6K would you???

Also, from the previous post, is there ever a Boxster S that's MSRP is under $50K? I dont ever think I've seen one here in the Chicago area.

There's no way they will sell a 4k miles Box for $4k under MSRP when new ones are being discounted way more. Just consider the $44k as a new MSRP for that car -- same as $48k is the msrp for a new one. Both WAY overblown, especially in winter for a last year's convertible.

Watch out for demo cars, especially with 4k miles on them. Personally, I wouldn't touch a car that has had about 1000 people doing to it what I do on my test drives.

dbth is right. Lowest msrp for an 06 987S is $54.5k (no options). For 07 that's above $55k.

Finally, just email/fax the dealers in your area and ask them for quotes on cars that they have in stock and that are close to what you are interested in. You'll learn a lot from just that exercise. The best way to get a feel for a market is to get into it and ask all players for their best offers -- making them aware that they're all in this together. Dealers have all sorts of reasons to be more aggressive than the competition, so take advantage of that.

I ordered an '07 Boxster that stickered for around $49700, not including destination - I was able to negotiate a $4K discount off of that.

I just bought a Certified Pre-owned (6 yr/100,000 miles warranty) 2006 'S' with 5,000 miles for $51,000.

Options:
Arctic Silver Metallic ($825 option)
19" Carrera S wheels
Rain sensor wipers + auto dim mirrors
Heated seats
Painted wheel center crests
Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys
Wind deflector w/storage box
Bose Surround Sound
Six disc CD changer
Elec power seats
PCM II w/nav
Bi-xenon lights
"Porsche" floor mats

MSRP was $66,800. Asking $52,790.
Almost 10% off Asking price and 24% off of original MSRP.
:dance:
I'm happy with my deal.

That's incredible.. you guys are so lucky.. I'm looking at an '00 or '01 non s for $3,000 more here in Aust..
That's why it's taking me so long to save enough! Another 6 months more at least..

A base new non s costs USD$83,000 before taxes...

I can't believe that Boxster are so expensive in Australia ! Why is that ?

Are all cars more $$$ or just high end cars ?

I guess that's the price you pay for living in such a beautiful country
