I'm missing having a Porsche so I'm back in the market for a new 911S, anybody got any advise on about what sort of discount is reasonable for an ordered 2010 911S (Lightly optioned)
Back when I ordered my last car (2008 Cayman S ordered in mid 2007) I was able to get 6% off MSRP. Now that the sales are in the tank do you think I can get better than that?
(BTW, I'm in The SF Bay area)

 

I was offered 6% off MSRP on an ordered C4S. I'm still in the process of negotiating with them and see if I could get them to bump it up to 9%. We are currently at 7% off.

 

10% off is standard practice for '09 911 Carrera's (this is per PCNA). If it's a strange color/combo optioned '09 I think you could see even up to 15% off MSRP.

I haven't heard of any dealers discounting 2010 Carrera's yet - they still have an inventory of over 1,500 '09 models to play with. Dealers actually were forced to remove their '10 inventory from their websites due to PCNA trying to sell the massive overstock of '09s.

'09 and '10 are the exact same car - get an '09, save more money, get a better deal.

If you want 10-12% off an '09 911, PM I'll send you my dealer's info.

 

Plus if you're really a deal seeker vs. having the latest and greatest, the dealers with any 08 cars left are doing up to 25% off plus Porsche Financial is doing 1.9% APR.

 

It looks as if they won't be offering 2010's for a while:

The 09's will be hard to find. Your best bet may be to custom order a car and ask for a discount during the customization process.

 

25% off really? The clueless and out-of-touch-with-reality dealers around here won't budge off 14% on 2008's (and this is even on a car that was "punched" July of 2008!).

 

I guess since OR only has 2 dealers in the whole state, they kinda have a lock on the whole supply/demand thing up there... or so they think since the smart buyer will just buy out of state and ship.

 

That could be it. However, they better hope there are a lot of out of state of Oregon buyers coming to their doorsteps to buy a car or they must be shipping a lot of their cars out of state as we have the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the country (behind Michigan). Not a lot of local buyers dropping $60k - $150k on a car around here.

I was ready to spend but with their HORRIBLE attitude and customer service (and the great help I got from this forum), I found my perfect car OUT OF STATE.

 

For a '09 well optioned C4S, I was able to get off 14K with an MSRP of 114K off without negotiation. It was a WA dealer that is willing to transport the car from SoCal to WA for me. The discount includes transport and they are offering 2.9% and pretty good trade for my M3.

 

When you go out of state, what do you do to get the car to you? How much trouble was this?

Thanks!

 

For me it was pretty easy as I live in Oregon and the car I found was in Northern California. My wife and I flew down, looked the car over, bought the car (after it went through a PPI/DME check at a Porsche dealership), and took two days to drive it home (could have done it in 10 hours but the wife and I kind of made a romantic getaway of it).

 

10 percent is standard in a high volume region and better can be had on high optioned cars .

The bargain shopping CPO market has taken an abrupt change . Less cars are part of it but I speculate that the strong CPO sales data of recent times has sparked a bit of used car sales greed .

My advice is to wait . In October -Dec the 2010 models which are already on lots will have to be mingled somehow into the massive new car inventory and with end of the year sales numbers looking awful the deals will come. Even with used cars too .. just wait .

 

Speaking of clueless Dealers. I walked into a Michigan dealership and asked about a new 09 997 turbo. Salesman said he'd sell it to me for MSRP and not more since they don't gouge their clients. I sort of said, in clueless manner, "wow, on any one of two dozen or so? Even the non turbo's?" I don't think he got my sarcasm.

 

10% off MSRP is actually a PCNA mandated discount. They absolutely must discount the cars at least 10% as per PCNA.

I agree, in October - December the 2010s models will start filling up the lots, Porsche's numbers will absolutely not improve and will continue to gradually and steadily decline. PCNA July sales will be worse than the already record-awful June numbers, but that's the economic situation we're currently in and people simply are not buying $100k cars, probably not buying any cars!

Although I haven't heard of any 2010s on lots yet, I do know that there are a couple dozen on the ships headed for the U.S., but one thing is for sure: come September, October, November - there will be a surplus of brand new '09 and '10 Porsche's ready to be picked up with a great deal in hand.

 

should easily get 14% if you're a serious buyer...i was offered up to 17% but car was not the right specs (no sport chrono). at these discounts though you will NOT get the lower interest rate...as the dealer pays something to Porsche Finance for that.
