As I said I am not mad at the dealer at all, I service my BMW there and they always take care of me. I am annoyed at Porsche who apparently thinks that they are the only game in town, guess they need to look at the sales reports to date in the USA. I was wrong about the $ 800 increase on my MSRP, it was actually an even $ 1000. I do want the car and plan to buy it as planned but of course will not pay the extra $ 1000.

I think he went about this in the right way and got screwed .
He ordered a car exactly the way he wanted , worked a deal which at that time was acceptable , and waited patiently . He even stood loyal to the agreement .. but they changed things .
If a car depreciates 12K in one year then two months is 2 grand added to the 800 dollar hike lets round up and say 3K plus he has no car still.
So he wrestles .. cancellation hassle vs car that he wants .
But is it the car that he wants?
Or is the the car he wanted two months ago that they screwed him on ?
He will know that answer when he goes to sell it and he is told it's an 09 when he's taking delivery nearing model year 2010 .
In my opinion that dealership needs to
a) offer a full refund immediately
or
b) take 3 grand off their original price and if it's another month late sell that car at cost to retain his business and respect as a future customer .
I am leaning towards choice a . I don;t care how great the car is . I don't like a business who takes money in one hand and jerks him around with another .
In my opinion --they need to come down off that high horse and realize he can negotiate any item he buys --even a piece of gum.

You can always cancel the deal, wait a few weeks until the car arrives, and the dealer has been invoiced and is paying floorplan juice, than make an offer less than your current price. The market is really soft and the car will probably be sitting on the floor for some time if you don't take it. Also, what is the real price of the car? On most cars the dealer is getting all sorts of concessions, ad allowances, etc. off that invoice, so to some degree it is meaningless. The "invoice price" is an old dealer trick, ignors alot of other funds/perks, etc. the dealers get.
