im trying to help my buddy to buy a porsche.. hes not really car guy but likes nice cars.. he wants good color c2s with tip or pdk..
my porsche dealer they have 2 08's on the lot msrp's used to be around 100k now they r mid to high seventies.. they have around 500 miles..
how much lower should we try to go? or is it better to get new 09 pdk. how much of should i try... 20% or 25% or event more on 09 pdk coupes. im in atlanta area..

thanks guys..

 

09 PDK woild be the route to go . An 08 tiptronic leftover is less fun to drive plus is depreciating faster than a falling rock (given the success of PDK).

20 percent would be a good deal in my opinion.

Also explain to your buddy that the PDK will involve a bit of learning (even for a seasoned driver) . He may find the normal auto mode smooth and will feel a jerk in sport auto . This is normal adjusting and he will also find that he can play in manual mode too without ever worrying about stalling (if he can;t drive a stick).

My point is that PDK is a drivers car .

I am not sure how a "non car guy" buys a Porsche 911 . I might understand a Cayenne but not a 911 because it's a car designed for a person who loves driving

 

thanks. i think we gonna try that 20% on 09 pdk.. he likes nice cars but doesnt wanna deal with manual in atlanta traffic.. and he is pretty wealthy.. that helps too

 

I just picked up a New '09 C2S (non-PDK) for $21,000 off of MSRP. So dealers are willing make deals.
Good Luck

 

Can I ask if anyone is getting 1.9% with these price breaks or is it one or the other?

 

Sorry I don't know. Mine was a cash deal.

 

1.9% deal is porsche's infamous 10k incentive. You can stack it on top of dealers' 10-12% margins. You can either expect to get 1.9% OR 10k off but not both. Then, depending on a dealer and a car, you can eat into dealer's margin. Typically, 20% off deals leave dealers with no profit....

 

Wow, what an amazing time to be a buyer.

When is the 998 due to be out again? Since I already have a 997.1, I plan to hold out and see what the macro economic conditions might be like then; coupled with the rollout of the new model, that will be an interesting time to buy for sure. I dream of the 997.2 GT3 each and everyday.
