If you have not moved on a car yet, a word of caution. 5/29/09 I took delivery of our 42 wedding anniversary present/bucket list, which took me 30 days and in excess of 350 phone calls to purchase. As a semi-retired auto broker with 20 years experience, I assumed I was in familiar territory, not so with Pcars. I have sold just about every brand that rolls, floats or flys. In my quest I contacted just about every Pcar dealer in the US informed the sales manager of my experience with the intention of not being "worked". A few were respectful, although the majority were oblivious or either turned me of to liner, who couldn't sell apples. For the reader's digest version, you have a budget: $5,000 down/lease term 36 month at 12K mi / Payment 1,000 month. Now you need the depression for 36 month and interest rate. Work backwards, go to your bank, now the goal is set, walk into the dealer as a cash buyer. In your responses you did not specify the year, an 08 is a noncurrent with a blue book value. Select the equipment that is essential to you, find a car that fits your needs. In my case I have the contacts to buy wholesale and make installations myself, you may not have that capability. Additions on the retial make will be more expensive, so get what you want or must have with the car. A word of caution: the Gallery attempted a bait and switch with me, I drove 550 miles to look at 5,000 mi .1 C2 with price quote, be very careful with these guys. I purchased a new 997 with 64 mi for $1,000 more than a used one. If your were interested in a 08 Cab 4s I was offered one for $50K off MSRP, there is inventory out there. Try Carlsbad, their sales manager is a genuine, and worked his way up from the bottom. Good hunting. OH, I purchase mine from Cascade Porsche, Akron OH, a small family owned dealership.
