That's a great deal on the Cayman and I agree that its an excellent time to buy. I found out that Porsche has quietly slipped the dealers some significant cash ($5-7K per vehicle) to encourage them to sell all of the '08 Caymans and Boxsters before the '09's begin to stack up.

On Saturday I picked up a new '08 Boxster with an MSRP of $53K for $39K and received a generous trade allowance to boot. Without the trade, I'm guessing that I could have bought the car for $37K.

In my opinion, I think the '09 Caymans and Boxsters are going to be tough to sell without big discounts. Plus, the initial batch on their way to the dealerships all have the new PDK trans which drives up the price and may be a tough sell to the traditional Porsche guy. Like me. Hope I'm wrong though.
