Posting for a friend, anyone knows of good deal or dsicount off list on 08 or 09 Cayenne Turbo? He is in Los Angeles, so prefer local dealer

I was considering buying a new cayenne s. I went and drove them...started with gts, drove a turbo next, then this thing called a turbo s. I have always been a big bmw guy but this car rocks. I gave the dealer a throw away bid and he laughed at me.....next day he said he would give me the deal..... I worked out to about 25k off of list. I thought it was pretty good....brand new lava grey turbo s.

I think I could have done better but I am such a sucker for instant gratificaiton.

25K off what? What was sticker price? What was year 08 or 09?

The msrp was 130k for an 09 turbo s.

All turbo S are 09 model!

Wow $25K off is phenomenal. I think the potential discount largely depends on the individual dealer. Some are willing to unload vehicles at close to invoice just to move them, others are holding pretty firm on their prices because Porsche has slashed allocations and they have make something on the few cars they are selling. So if you are not too picky and don't really want some unique option, you can shop around and find some pretty good deals. If you are looking for something unique, and the only place you can find it is at a dealer that is holding firm, your discount will be far less.

I think there are some real deals to be made. If you look how the dollar has fluctuated toward the euro over the past few months that 25K should be minimal off. Our dollar has become a lot more powerful against the euro which means dealers should be paying less for their vehicles. I am guessing if you wait till end of 1st quarter to purchase you might be able to get 40 or more off.

Not sure that's valid - Hennessy Porsche here in Atlanta claims that Porsche locked in the rates until end of '09.

As for deals on Cayenne Turbo, here's what I found:

1. Pioneer Porsche in San Diego has $20K off '08 turbo(s)

I think that's the best you can get out there. I'm surprised with the $25K off as mentioned above.

2. There's a used '08 turbo @ ebay with 18,000 miles for $65K - extremely low. I wonder if there's something wrong with it - it's been inspected though

Porsche North America buys all vehicles in USD from Germany NOT in Euro!

I bought my 08 in May at sticker. I am feeling physically sick reading this thread

Ok but with our dollar being stronger (worth more) than it was let’s say since August. Porsche dealerships would be giving Porsche an additional 15% because of the dollar fluctuation. August exchange was @ $1.48 per Euro and today @ $1.28 about a 15% difference. Meaning if we Porsche dealerships were to pay the same amount of USD for a Porsche car that PORSCHE would be getting an additional 15% extra for the same car……. And for any one who is in a manufacturing industry you would know prices would be re negotiated after such a dramatic change. I highly doubt Porsche dealerships are paying the same USD for a car today that they were paying this summer. Thus that invoice price is probably not true and even less than stated in what I found ->

One should be able to get better than those invoice prices when purchasing a Cayenne.

Porsche dealers in the US always buy the cars in US Dollar and do not have to care about the USD/EUR exchange rate. In these days they give high discounts due to low car sales worldwide!Can you imagine Mercedes Benz stopped car production for some weeks and even Porsche stopped for some days!

1 EUR is 1,36 USD today...the lower the USDthe more interesting is it for EUR countries to import cars from the US! :-)

You are missing the point completly. You are stating information over again that I am agreeing to, of course they pay in USD. Which is exactly why they should be paying less for the same car now because our dollar is worth more. Here is a simple example for you! lets say the rate changed tomorrow to 1 Eur = 2 USD Porsche would not accept the same amount of money for the same car they would raise the price in USD for our dealers to purchase the cars... PORSCHE would loose lots of money on every car if they did not... So when it moves the other way we give less USD for the same car. This is how business is done.

Without digging to look up specifics I can tell you that all the German car makers subsidize the US Market. If, when the dollar was lower, you did the currency conversion on an '09 Turbo S it was ridiculously more in Euros or virtually any other currency.
For example, I just went to Porsche.com and picked Germany; it shows a CayenneTurbo S base price is 132,774 Euros. While there may be some differences in standard equipment (I can't read German), my computer's currency converter shows that in today's dollars to be $180,705 where in reality the base price in the USA today is $123,600.

Ya I noticed that as well. You could also go and look at Porsche Canada and the conversion is less than here in the USA. The price fluctuates in each country for a reason I do not know. Either way prices are and should be coming down in our U.S market if you choose not to understand and pay more for the same car while others of us use the knowledge and their understanding of the matter to save money is your choice. What you simply pointed out was something we all have seen and no real explanation. So if you are correct that they subsidize the cars here in the U.S. they would continue to do so with the increase power in our currency. Thus dropping the price for the dealerships and us the end user. I am not concerned with what ever exchange rate you use but with the fact our dollar has become more powerful. All I am here to say is that there are some serious deals to be had and probably more so than some of you think. How ever you cut it prices are dropping further!
