I would say around 9% is a pretty darn good deal. You might be able to get a touch better if you hold out, but of course risk the chance of loosing it. Is it everything you want?

I misread the option list and the car does not come equipped with navigation. The dealer then lowered the price a bit more. 76k out the door. I still turned it down. Am I silly for not taking the car? Is the porsche navigation intuitive? Do you guys find yourself using navigation often?

My daily driver is a prius and toyota navigation is horrible. Also have a BMW and I much prefer the bimmer navigation over toyota.

Smart phone apps like Waze have gotten so good that I hardly use the car Nav anyway. To me it's no longer a must-have but does the non-Nav unit has bluetooth?

Anyway, I think Nav is still a preferred option for most. If this car is still unsold in a week or too you should consider pressing them to discount further.

I've had good luck purchasing demos. I got a great deal on a 911 demo and had the car 3 years without a problem. My current car was a press car and knock on wood, no problems. 88 miles is nothing, so if you like the car, I say go for it. I suspect you could do much better than the deal they are offering though...

+1 Nav is no longer important to me but still is for most, and you can push that angel.

88 miles is really low for a "used" vehicle. You can probably negotiate further. For my next vehicle, I will most likely won't get a navi. $2~3k can be better spent elsewhere.
