order 987 -or- buy 986 (heard any trunk money rumors)

[janzenms]

So its almost decision time. I'm either going to go out and get a 2004 986 or order a 987. I work in San Francisco and live near Sacramento and there are about 10 dealerships within a reasonable drive. Their lots are loaded with new 2003 and 2004 Boxsters. Lots to choose from.

I'm assuming Porsche will secretly offer dealers some trunk money (incentives, etc) to help liquidate their 986 inventories. We all know sales have been soft and now with the official 987 news its bound to get softer unless they do something.

1. Has anyone heard any rumors about Porsche offering trunk money to dealerships?

2. What would you do? Buy a new 986 now (assuming a good price break) or order a 987 and wait?

...or is it foolish to even consider ordering a version A car this soon?

My gut tells me to go get the deal on the 986 and wait for the 987 to be on the road a year or so before even considering it.

Thoughts?
