It was a great buying experience, great people to work with.

As I understood the owner just wanted to move the remaining 04's.

They had 4 left and all sold in two days. There was 2 S's ( 6sp & Tip ) that had MSRP of 62K+ that were selling at 45-46k. Probably could have had either for 43-44k. Unfortunately they were both black and I promised to never own a black car again because of upkeep.

Short term it might hurt the value of older cars, but there is a huge market for thirtysomething thousand dollar Porsches. That is why to move them he dipped the price into that market. It is hard to sell an 04 next to an 05.

It doesn't have anything to do with the going price. It is just like selling your ragtop in the winter, you arent going to do well. I was looking for a 99 miata to race and I swear they went up 3000 dollars from december to June. That is like 30%.

Wait till those new 04's are long gone, and the only choice a buyer has is pre-owned or 55k for new.

Some times you have to just be there when the Sales Manager says F%$^ it, let's move em.
