Has anyone bought their Porsche at the end of the lease through Porsche Financial? If so, is it possible to negotiate a price lower than the residual? Some manufacturer finance firms allow you to do this if market price is lower than the residual and some out of policy do not even if the wholesale is lower than residual.

 

Yes I have, at one time you could negotiate some butnot anymore.

 

Reason I ask is it may be better to lease if you have a second bite at apple to negotiate price down at end of lease in particular if you have a heavily optioned car.

 

Really not sure if they negotiate..

 

they have been mostly non-negotiable, at least based on few friends' experience. i believe they are all insured anyway. PFS will get their money even if the car is worth less than the buy back value.

 

I don't think they negotiate -- really no incentive for them. If you're thinking of keeping the car, keep in mind that the car you know is worth a little more to you than market value.

 

I have been able to negotiate on other brands as their alternative is to sell the car at wholesale.
