987 Discount on MSRP

[drburton]

Just curious, for those who have purchased a new 987 in the last year or so, how much of a discount were you able to get from MSRP?

Seems like the dealers around here are very stingy about going more that $1000 below (seems pathetic to me).

Mine was a custom order. I saved just about 10%. MSRP was just under $67K.

Whilst ordering mine, the dealers in Houston were stuck
on MSRP.

So...

to the internet, Robin!

Of ten or so dealers to whom I sent emails,
most offered $4,000 off or 5%.

So I would send an email to your nearby (or not so
nearby -- they can mail them right to you these days)
dealers with a specific option list and ask them for their
best price. Tell them you are shopping other dealers
as weil.

See what you get.

Best,

MSRP discounts on Porsches, like many other brands, has a lot to do with what you're buying and when you are buying it. If you are buying an 07 in December of this year and it's on someone's lot, you're going to get a heck of a discount... the 08's are already being ordered and delivered.

With this obvious stuff stated, I've been watching it carefully as I dream about buying a brand new Pcar one day :ah:

I see a typical 5% off MSRP, and 10% off MSRP if the new model year can be ordered.

My good friend Mark (Houston_C4S) and I are starting a new business and hopefully I'll have enough income from this new venture to buy myself a new S just like he did in a year or so. If the venture goes really, really, well, I'll bump that model choice right up to a new 997TT, thank you very much
