Ordering A New Boxster

You might be able to negotiate a little. But with a custom ordered car, you really are between a rock and a hard place with negotiating. If you were buying an older '07, or '06 new from them and clearing out there inventory then you could negotiate.

I would respectfully disagree with my fellow Forum Member, Rick3000, here. I ordered my car in August of 2005. My requested delivery was late March 2006. I was able to negotiate a 10% discount.

That's fine, in my experience though. It is harder to get a discount on custom ordered cars.

I have to agree with bmussati, the quotes I'm getting on a custom ordered car are all about 4k below MSRP.... but that still leaves another 3k above invoice that I plan to chip away at

Yes, very true!

My experience is that you get a better deal when you order. The dealer does not have any carrying cost. It is never part of their inventory as it is sold when it comes in. Of course, I have never ordered a Porsche before.

I am going to give myself a deadline of around mid January. If I can find what I'm looking for at a dealer in the states using the Porsche website then great. I will look in all 48 states. That way I still have time to order and get it by spring.

The inventory of Boxster S is slim. Much more Cayman S. I was told that Porsche is making 1 Boxster to every 3 Caymans. The inventory seems to confirm that.
