991's left on dealer lot for 1 year

Would people have any hesitancy on purchasing a leftover 2015 C2S that's been at the dealer for over a year? Is it weird for a car to sit that long on a lot? It's guards with a lot of options.

I've got them down to a 13% discount but some others have commented that it should be a greater discount.

It doesn't matter what you say, some guy will have done better or thinks you should have done better. 13% is awesome. But that car is already a year old and worth 25% less than MSRP.

Is this what you really want? Do you need all of those options? Why not configure the exact car that you want, in the colors that you want, brand new, and order it? Because you might be able to swing a decent (6%) discount on a new car, exactly what you want, a year newer, and come out ahead.

I purchased a 2013 Cayenne TT with a MSRP of 128K at the end of 13 for 100K.... 22% discount. It's a used car in my opinion.

If you like the color combo and the options, then go for it and make an offer. You should be able to score a hefty discount. I see no issues whatsoever with the car sitting on the lot for 1 year (providing the paint isn't in bad condition, for which you can probably score a detail, too).

Yeah I think cayennes tank harder than 911's tho. But agreed that it's basically used at that point and the discount should be higher than 13%. Otherwise probably safer ordering new one at a 5-6% discount.

Cayenne and Panamera depreciate much more steeply than a C2S. Especially turbo

I think if you like the car and are going to keep it >3yrs then go for it with 13% discount. It's not the same as a used car because you will know for certain the history of the car.

Also, was it sitting outside for a year or was it garaged? My local dealer keeps all new 911s inside.

I don't agree with this at all... the op is clearly concerned with the depreciation curve and this is not a good start. Already way behind if you do 13% off a year old car... I would rather take my chances with a low mile CPO.

This is strictly my advise but if it was me, I would not take 13% off a leftover car.

Much better option than 13% off a leftover car.... especially new model.

The OP did not provide much detail on his situation or decision making criteria. I agree with your point that if resale within a few years is a factor, then the 13% discount (which I belive is an extra 7% over what most people here seem to report) will mostly be passed through at resale. But he also didn't state his financial context and whether that discount enable him to secure a vehicle he couldn't otherwise afford.

Hopefully these various viewpoints are helpful for him to identify some if the pros and cons of his potential deal.

Not in this thread but in other posts he was concerned about price.

I can afford the higher priced car but I feel like it should be closer to a 20% discount. I can't get them to budge so i walked away.
