2006 Boxster S discounting? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

MotoFanatic · 09-28-2006, 12:36 AM

Well, all is done now. I drove home with a new '06 Cayman S in "pull me over" red. I'll post pics as soon as I take some. I have never spent so much on a vehicle (not even half as much) but it seems worth it. What an awesome car and thanks everyone here on the forum for all your help.

Now my next question is, are there any other good websites I should know about that has good Boxster/Cayman info like this one?? I can't seem to get enough of reading about it!

Thanks!

Moto, congratulations and enjoy it!
What colors, options, and price did you get?

This forum is probably the best one that's Boxster specific. You can also try:

I went with the basics (stone grey interior and guard red exterior). The only real options it has is the PPB package and body colored spoiler. I haven't calculated what the cost of the car was as I only negotiated OTD pricing (ie. all inclusive taxes, tags etc). By my estimates though, I'd say I paid ~$500 above edmunds invoice. It didn't seem like anybody was willing to go further except a few bucks and I wasn't planning on doing the nickle and dime thing. Some dealers were willing to offer bigger discounts if it had more optional equipment but it was still beyond my price range.

I can't wait to break the sucker in!!!! My g/f said she hates the color. She said there was too much orange in it. I was thinking, I guess I'll be the only one driving then....eheh....

Thanks for the links! I guess I have some reading to do!

Good job. Enjoy it and post some pics. What's a "body colored spoiler"? What color top?

I got the Cayman S so the top is the same color as the body. Originally, I was looking at the Boxster so that might be the confusion. The body color spoiler is the front lip. Instead of matte black, it's body colored.

I couldn't be happier and thanks everyone for their help!

"I got the Cayman S so the top is the same color as the body."

My mistake. All this time I had it in my mind that you got the Box S even though you said you got the Cayman S few posts back. I'm glad that you were able to get the car that you really wanted from the beginning.
