When you purchased your Cayenne, and if you got a discount, say either a set dollar amount like $5,000 or 6%, did your dealer take that off your MSRP, then charged you tax for your county/state, or did they charge you the tax first based on the MSRP, then they took off the $ amount?

Just wondering what you guys have seen.

 

sale price was exactly half way between MSRP and invoice for base car and all options with a max of $125 for all fees. Sales tax calculated on negotiated sales price. Cayenne S with MSRP at 93,000ish - just arrived at the dealer today.

 

Tax is charged after discount not before.

 

This is black and white there is no choice by the dealer. Tax is on the actual sales price...and if that includes a discount so be it.

For those that are curious sales tax is added on top of the gas guzzler tax...which is one of the only instances a tax is levied on a tax. I know this since the dealer did that to me on my M3 but after I researched it I found that there is a loophole which allows this. That really sucked but what can you do.

 

My dealer gave me 6.5% off MSRP then charge tax with the discounted price.

 

4.5% off ordered in Oct 2011 for CS off MSRP. Tax on discounted amt.

 

Ok. guys. Got it. Thanks for the replies.

 

I got $4k off the sticker.
Taxes we like $11,000 i think.
my plates were almost $3,000
