987 Discount on MSRP

[longislander1]

It seems the dealers are overstocked with Caymans this year and not Boxsters. I've seen '06 Cayman Ss advertised at 17%+ under MSRP. I recall seeing something a while ago which said Porsche was cutting back on Boxster production.

I could probably find a reasonable price on a 05 or 06, but I really wanted to order to my specifications and also might as well get the extra 15hp.

The explanation I heard from more than one dealer is as follows: They only can order a limited number of vehicles from Porsche and since they are getting customers paying MSRP, they aren't willing to give up one of their slots at a deep discount. Not sure if this is true or not.

...I have already moved on to the excitement of new wheels so no big loss. Maybe in two years I'll get a white 911 Carrera S, then I'll get the car I really want and my wife will get her color

The dealers do have limited allocations. So the statement seems reasonable.

bmuss,

Since you pretty much have the car I was going to order maybe we could just trade cars and I would pay you a premium

Do you mean this one:

Umm no. You know you always really wanted silver and blue, what a great combo. White is so out.
