On sale.... - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

That's a great deal on the Cayman and I agree that its an excellent time to buy. I found out that Porsche has quietly slipped the dealers some significant cash ($5-7K per vehicle) to encourage them to sell all of the '08 Caymans and Boxsters before the '09's begin to stack up.

On Saturday I picked up a new '08 Boxster with an MSRP of $53K for $39K and received a generous trade allowance to boot. Without the trade, I'm guessing that I could have bought the car for $37K.

In my opinion, I think the '09 Caymans and Boxsters are going to be tough to sell without big discounts. Plus, the initial batch on their way to the dealerships all have the new PDK trans which drives up the price and may be a tough sell to the traditional Porsche guy. Like me. Hope I'm wrong though.

'09's have already hit the dealers. Been watching to see how they go, but Porsche must have made a HUGE run of base boxster's with red / tan and blue / black S models.

Seems like the dealers are around 56k for the base and 71-72k for the S models, but you have to read between the lines to check their individual option lists....and YES, they all seem to have PDK.

Just me, but I would not get the PDK. Not an automatic fan no matter how "cool" you can market it and $4000 plus for it is just too much.

Huge discounts are out there for new or slightly used '08's.
