Hey. Always dreamed of a TT, have a C2S Cab (2006) at the moment--which is nice, but certainly not as "special" as the TT.

There is a 2009 TT Coupe (guards red w/ black interior). 6 spd, sport chrono, & some other options that I don't recall offhand. Sticker is 135K.

I've heard some dealers are taking as much as 20% off these cars, but I could be wrong. They also have 1.99% financing which is nice because i'd probably just finance the balance on my private party C2S sale and make more money by financing than outlaying the full cash amount.

Am I crazy to buy new in this market? I've seen some great used deals on 2008's, and I could easily be happy with my C2S and buy a 2010 next year if that was incrementally better.

Thoughts?

 

Not crazy if you can get anywhere close to that 20% off. I would think it's more around 10% off. Anyway the 09 have the new radio with Ipod controls. If find one just like you want in a 08 and you don't care about the radio, then it would be the way to go.. Are you doing a national search or just local? I wouldn't limit myself to just local..

 

Seems a hard decision to buy a left over '08 when the '09's are on the floor. And now it's a hard decision to buy an '09 when the 10's are coming. If you wait and buy a 10, it will just be a little while until the 11's come. Point is, no matter which car you pick there will be another comming with a few new features in a very short amount of time and the car you just bought will depreciate. Can't worry about all that. If you are in the market for a car, find one you like, with the features you want, at a price you can afford, and pull the trigger.

Is that financing rate for real?
My '09 TT is on the boat now, and I am planning to finance a large part of it. Is 2% being offered on in-stock models only, or orders as well???
Sounds too good to be true!

 

i wouldn't worry about the radio thing. I've got an 08 with a dension. Works great.

it's a tough call to pull the trigger or not. good luck either way.

 

I would echo what others have said - if you can find what you want, then buy it. There are always other models coming down the pike.

I have been offered 0.9% financing from my dealer, but don't know about deep discounts (except on the GT2s that aren't moving).

 

The best I was able to get was 19% off on an '08 in Socal here, but maybe you can do better in your area but I doubt they will let '09's go at 20% off. Times are really tough for these guys and I know for sure they took a lost on my '08.

 

Crazy not to buy it.

 

08 TT Coupes wholesale in the low-mid 90's, and can probably get a nice low mile one for close to 100k ...based on that, I would not buy a new one...no way...

 

Go after a low mile CPO 08TT..

 

Exactly what you should do....even at 20% off 150k is still 120k, drive off lot your car is worth mid-upper 90's....If its a coupe you are talking about....

 

Are these rates for buying out of stock, or ordering? My guess is there's a whole lot more room to negotiate for a car they have on the floor.
What's the lowest rate anyone's gotten for a car you ordered yourself?

 

10% discount on 09s is not current market if you're aggressive...You can get MUCH more than that (sorry dealers). Dealers are advertising 08s at 20% off MSRP, so thats basically just a starting point. On 09s you prob cant get 20% but you can get definitely get closer to 20% than 10%. Yeah, dealers are losing money even with the Porsche holdback and incentives but its just a sign of the times...where does it say they need to make a profit? Why keep an 09 in this market and cover the floorplan cost? Porsche is helping but at the end of the day 2010s are just a few months away...we are in April 09 and there are still TONS of 08s around. They will deal on 09s.

on the financing, i think its 2.9% on new 09 turbos and 3.9% on other 911s. Anyone hear differently? i've talked to 2 dealers and they said it was still going till end of may and one said that deal was over.

 

I called around and 2.9% is still available on new turbos, even from order.

 

Thx...I think that the dealer must have to pony up some $$ to get the customer that rate. Clearly the dealer who told me the deal was over was lying.
