Looking at possibly leasing my first Porsche (having bought 2 others). This is due to the impending 991 in 2.5-3 yrs. Any ideas on what 2010 are going for with and residuals?
Thanks in advance

Rosenbergendo....if you are...about one molar root canal per month worth.

 

Now, that depends where you live. It could range from $900 to $1200, by specialists and no insurance accepted Also additional canal is extra.

Agree..but assuming endo refers to endodontist (RC specialist) roughly $1,200...except if your in Manhattan of course, then it could be close to $1,700....

 

By the time you finish off with a crown in Manhattan, you are $3000 poorer Well, at least you get to drive home in a Porsche and few days worth of pain killer

I am in Jupiter, FL. My fees range from 1000-2000. We use scopes start to finish and and take no insurance. I have friends in NYC getting 2500 and up for molar endo!! On the lease front, there are currently no lease specials as I just got back from the dealer. So I answered my own question.

 

It's bad timing to buy and even worse to lease . Theres no lease deals and by the time you are done with the 3 years . plus the service, plus the tires, plus returning the car to spec .. you may as well have bought it.

The second half of 09 produced record sales and even though the discounts on 997 and 997S cars were seen in abundance on this forum those cars are all sold. Plus the Panamera launch was a success and with that came whatever profit that dealerships lost on other models . Keep in mind that back in June sales were dismal and cars were stockpiled on a boat in over supply. Add to this that the economy woes of last year's Dow below 7K seem to be somewhat forgotten by those who see the car and "gotta have it" . Also add that production numbers were reduced .

So what does this mean --if you must have it --expect to pay 10K more than what others were paying on the same car last year . Or just wait and see if time passes and these higher prices leave more of thse cars sitting unsold .

It's my opinion that thse cars are really worth what they were selling for the second half of LAST YEAR. That's why they had record sales . Your best bargain is to find a well kept used 09 car in the 70's with original MSRP over 100. Even that will be hard to find because used car prices are that inflated too so it may cost in the low 80's despite the enormous supply of 09 cars which were produced.

 

Production has been massively cut. I either bite the bullet and just get the best deal I can in 6 months or so on a new one or see if I can fathom a CPO >2500 mile car.

 

agreed. Find the right one and buy it...

 

Leases on these cars don't make the most sense, unless you have serious disposable income. If you aren't going to flat out buy it..you are likely better off financing it, then selling it on your own schedule.

Live in the now, and keep it for a few years. By then the bugs on the 991 will have been worked out.

 

Alternative is you could buy an 05 or 06 S, plop down 5 or 10 large, finance for 60 months and get about the same kind of payment with warranty coverage being the same (CPO). If you went to sell in 2 to 3 years, you'll likely be even. Your downpayment will be worth 0 at the end and the monthly covers your depreciation.
