08s are eligible for the 1.9% financing but no trunk money. Ran through that myself when I priced the 08 vs the 09 I ended up with... Trunk money only works with the 09s when the dealer takes another car off of port and only about 1/2 the dealers are doing that because many are trying to reduce inventory and most of the cars left at port are dogs.
Everyone here (three dealerships) has PDK's . If I wanted a PDK or a C4S ora Cab theres tons of cars . But a manual with the options I want is hard to find . I like rowing my gears old school.
I found one in west palm beach which even had LSD and all the bells and whistles but its another black car and I want something different .
BTW --I did drive a PDK and hands down its wayyyyyyyyy impoved over Tiptronic .

Curious what you guys think is a fair price for the following leftover 2008 C2S: black/black, full leather, heated memory seats, sport chrono, bose and a few other small things, MSRP 93,xxx. I forgot to check if its been punched already, but i'll get back with that. Would really like to hear what you guys think is a fair price given the discounts going around on the 09's. If it helps the dealer claims this car is also eligible for 1.9% financing, which implies it too has the 10K trunk money.

Interesting statement. The PDK is STILL the automatic. The '09 was a good deal, BUT it is year old inventory. In 2 months they will need to clear the car for 2010's. Don't know when the 2010's hit the road. I know the '07's hit the road in August.
to pull out the digital camera. The color combo was meteor/black/black.

Good deal on '08 Turbo Cab
What's considered a "good deal" for an '08 turbo cab? That option has come into play for me recently. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! thanks!!!
Although just over a little more than 14 months ago one would think that thats a great price but as others have said..once you title and the 2010 land.. that car is in the low 70's by December IMO. The low miles 06-08 have been drying up since cab season is here...stabalizing prices a bit.
If you test drive a PDK, and don't already own a Tip ..it would be hard not to always wonder if you should have waited for a deal on PDK, it really is a different car but an extra 35k to get there is tough to justify. Best bet is to buy a 06/07 in the low 60's..thats the sweet spot for the C4S cab..your depreciation would could only be 7k a year for the next 3 years if the miles are kept low.
An 08 is a tough call because its the last year of the 997.1 and would have been a un real deal if the 09 changes didn't arrive..the market has changed so much over the last 10 months...08 Turbo Cabs are the real deal at the moment.
