$3K Off MSRP On 2008 997TT Good?

So I've been offered $3K off MSRP, '08 build. Is this a good deal or no? Thanks in advance.

I would say yes as the are more limited than last year and pre-ordering and gettting a discount right now is not too bad. I have asked but I they said no - keep your 07 order So I did - hope to get it this month!!

Anything off MSRP is a great price. Closest dealers to me don't discount since they only get a few allocations.

As of right now $3,000 under MSRP on a '08 is a great deal. Keep that deal and enjoy it. If anyone is interested in an '08 turbo we have a couple allocations that are not spoken for yet.

I don't think that's anything special at all. I got more than that off 8 months ago and the car is a heck of a lot easier to acquire now. If it was me I would keep shopping!!

07 vs 08 discount is very different, 08 Coupe production is small vs. 07. While the changes to the car are for all intents zero dealers with 8-12 allocations will sell them at MSRP easy enough in SoCal so any discount is great around here.

I'm exchanging emails with a dealer here in the Seattle area and they are reluctant to give any MSRP discount. Dealer has a black 07 TT coming late July or August, and they don't want to give me a discount.

I haven't negotiated very hard yet, but I feel I may eventually get a discount (if not..I'll look elsewhere).

i think that $3000 off of an 08 is very good-just to comment, i observe this type of conversation repeatedly on this forum. let's be honest-you are talking about a car that will cost between 130k to 145k, that is going to be made next year in quantities less than this year (coupes). so you were offered 3k off-what do you want to do, spend 4 hours negotiating and possibly waiting 3-6 more months to save another thousand on a 137k car? if the thousand was so important, you wouldn't be buying the 137k car. and please-save the "well, if you want to waste your money, that's your business" argument. come on guys, this is a very expensive car-is it the victory of saving a grand that prompts these "should i save 3 grand, or hold out for 4 grand" arguments. i could see if this was a buyer's market on this car, but clearly it isn't. my advice-buy your car, drive it and enjoy it, and be happy that you are driving a car of this caliber.

I agree. Also, if you are from LA, then this is a great deal for 08 car ordered to your specs. I called a lot of places and felt lucky to get 1500 off. I took it immediately because at this "level," as mentioned below, really the wait is not worth another couple thousands. Just my opinion.

huskylawyer, if you're dealing with Barrier, I'd be VERY surprised if they gave you a discount! Probably one of the other two?

Err...I got a 2% discount off MSRP on an ordered 2008 TT @ Napleton. I can only speak about my experience, but I have only had outstanding experiences @ Napleton. They are very fair.

Of course, I have also bought 3 cars from Napleton previously since 2002.

Try telling them that when you go to trade it.

In '07 they were "new".
In '08 they are "limited".
What will '09 bring?

Go for double that.
