In my recent shopping/buying experience I felt like I had little to no leverage as the buyer (IN JANUARY). It went basically like this, here is the car and here is the price. Take it or the next guy in line will. Ultimately, I got the seller to lower the price some because some things came up in the PPI, but even then it was just shaving a little off the price but not enough to risk motivating the seller to talk to the next guy in line.

Its a crazy time for the market on 911s. I don't see that changing much either.

I also think this is part of why the Boxster market is so soft right now. Everyone who is a Porsche nut and not content with the Boxster wants to trade-up while they can still afford to. The 986 Boxster is still an amazing car with timeless lines and an amazing entry level P-Car. I just don't see it ever shaking that stigma of being "entry level".
