I really don't understand it. If I was a car salesman I would make sure to very knowledgeable and helpful because in the end word will spread and I will get tons of sales. There is a guy at the corvette dealer nearby who use to be like that but now that he sells like 300 corvettes a year he's lost some of that helpfulness and has a bit of arrogance to replace it.

To answer both questions for the RS5 and c6zo6 it is because the performance makes up for a little of the styling shortcomings


But anyways I have decided what I will do. I will save a bit longer to try and put a larger down payment then I had already planned on my next car, and try to get a 991 turbo new. I found there is a 16k profit margin built into the turbo so by next winter I am sure I can get one for around 10-12k off. Maybe more if my dealer really likes me.

If I can't manage that I will go for the c2s/c4s unless I test drive a GT3 or at least ride in one.

 

So what do we all think about the turbo plan?

 

I think it's a good plan, but in the end, only you can decide. For us, it's very easy to spend your money! Haha

The question is then to get the turbo wheels or turbo S wheels. I really like the center lock design and for 3k extra it seems like a no brainer. But it seems so many people hate the center lock and idk why?

 

"Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans."

Tell us in a year if it worked out.

BTW, there are currently a number of Turbo S in dealers' inventories and sitting on showroom floors. Just one of my local dealers has three available. A 190K+ price makes some folks stop their drooling, think and take a deep breath. Try to find a "leftover" that's been sitting for a few months and you may be able to get a great deal.

 

You'll know if you ever have to remove a C.L. wheel. Hope you've been working out

 

Yea sure I can look into that as well. As I said it may not take a full year. All I need is to save a tad bit more and be offered at least 10-12k off and I'm in. Right now I'm in the process of getting a relationship with my dealer and my uncle since he always leases 911's and I want to use that as leverage to get a deal on a turbo . Damn that would be like 5 cars I have sold for this dealer in the last month all above 130k. I should sell porsche myself as a weekend job.

Good thing I work out then lol. But I probably won't bother with it. I rather have the dealer deal with that mess. I'm more likely to scratch the wheel in the process but at least if the dealer does it, they have to pay for it.

 

+1 on the center lock wheels... I'd pay extra on the Turbo S to NOT have them (if needed - I haven't researched enough yet).

 

Really? All of you work on your own cars? None of you leave it to the dealer? lol

For a bunch of people who like race cars it is very interesting none of you like center lock wheels. It is a much cleaner look.

 

I'm starting to think I don't want to stretch myself for a turbo and was thinking of going back to the c4s/c2s or cayenne turbo. Both come out to 146k or 136k for the c2s full price with all the options I want and I can build both exactly the way I like it.

Also Suzy really got me considering that RS5. I wouldn't mind driving this car in black and also the downpayment I would put on either porsche would pay for the RS5 in full and I wouldn't even have debt. So that is really tempting too.

 

Don't forget the new BMW M4 !

 

No if I got BMW it would be the m6 but even then I think that car is too big.

 

Couldn't resist ;-)

 

lol. Idk the cayenne turbo I optioned out which looks very nice has about 30k in options. I'm sure that 30k is going to go out the window the second I drive it off the lot.

 

I heard my salesman once say that the average Porsche they sell at that dealership has at least 1/3rd of its baseprice on options.
