I purchased mine late may 2009.
Black on Blck C2S
MSRP $102K
I was given two choices.
Lease price with special lease rate $89K or
Cash price $85K.
It was a great deal then. Any of the vendors (dealers) validate the latest > 20% off sticker deals?

Wow, that is a very precise number. Where does it come from? What an individual dealer will discount is obviously up to that dealer. However, unless there are incentives beyond what has been widely reported (dealer cash of $10K on C2 and C2S, $12K on C4 and C4s, etc.) a discount of 23.5% would have the dealer losing a fair bit on each sale. While this can happen it is certainly not the norm.

I bought mine on Sept. 15th. MSRP was 101,985 and I bought it for 83,000. I live in NJ and the dealer put it on a flatbed from NY to southern jersey. If it was on their lot I probably could have got a better deal. Dealer also told me PCNA rep said sales are doing much better on east coast then west. As Larry said, these are incredible deals.

That sounds like a terrific deal your friend got at 62K! I'm just about to make an offer on a leftover 09 C2 with a MSRP of 87k and was very curious, would you happen know the approximate MSRP of your friend's car? Thank you.

One question I would have is; granted the trunk money discount is unheard of for Porsche as far as I know, however, now MY 09 is one year old, and as soon as you take possession it takes on a full year of depreciation. That could easilly eat up the trunk money. That makes the MY 2010, assuming you got the same level of discount, not much different down the road 2-4 years. What are your thoughts?

The 23.5% included the $10K FACTORY DISCOUNT, sorry I should have stated that earlier!!!!!!!
So it was was about 15%+ off MSRP.

Best I could do on the 87k MSRP C2 was 68k and I walked, in the end the spec didn't seem very well thought out for the price, might look at 2010s when they come in. PorscheFanatic, did your friend ever post the details on their 62k deal?
What does that do to the value of the used ones???

Depends who you ask.
Some people think the CPO market is strengthening very quickly. I don't see it but I didn't think the market was quite as weak as some here made it out to be.
The problem is all you can go by are asking prices.
People read here and on MSN and other places that the market (for all CPO brands) is heating up and they raise their asking price.
The asking prices mean squat.
No one really knows what people are paying in the end. But people speculate anyway.
Hey..thats what forums are for.
My feeling is drive the hell out of your porsche and enjoy.

+1, what he said. You, they, can ask whatever you, they, want. It's the "solds" that matter, and the only statistic that matters.
