FYI, Porsche recently raised the residual values on 2017 Panamera's so lease deals got much better... I am actually leasing a new 2017 for less than I was paying on my former 2015 (which had a lower window sticker).

Most dealers are almost sold out on 2017s, but if you are somebody who leases cars it is worth checking out, as there are no announced changes to the 2018 car. The 2017 year was such a short initial model run, so the 2017 is the same car as a 2018 and a leasing customer does not have to worry about the downstream value.

FWIW, if you are in SoCal, McKenna Porsche is doing some deals on 2017's and they have a fair amount of 2017's left as they have been buying up excess cars from other dealers..(ask for Eric)

 

Definitely big money discounts out there.

 

Curious, care to share the deal you got? Thanks in advance.

 

My PTT had a 178K MSRP and I got 11% off.

When I was searching for deals on the PTT, I saw it range from 9% to 13%. Usually the higher discount applied to high option equipped cars that had quirky color combos.

 

Mine was a lease, but I got over 10% off window on 100k MSRP non-turbo car -- but it is the residual which also drives lease payments, and these got pushed up by Porsche financial in recent weeks on the 2017s... So with 10% off window as as starting point and a higher residual value at lease end I got a much improved monthly payment.

I believe that discounts on Turbos are higher-- and also not sure if the residual was changed on Turbos. By the way, McKenna had four or five 2017 Turbos in stock last weekend, including one with an MSRP at $213,200 with just about every option and customization added at factory. I would think that car gets a big discount to move it with the 2018s on the ground.

 

Anyone seen any pricing on 18s? @Fkim011, I sent you a visitor message...

 

My lease pricing for an ordered or incoming 2108 was about $100 a month higher than price on 2017's.. In may case it amounts to $3600 over the life of the lease--- and the car is exactly the same. I lease because I can expense it through my business and I like getting a new car every few years or less. Obviously, on a purchase basis this might not make as much sense, as the actual value of the later model year might exceed the savings.

 

By the way, I see you are in SoCal... Which dealer did you buy from?

 

These are for 100,500 MSRP car. Cannot comment on other configs...

My car is 1187 for 36 months --only 3k drive off.

Quote for build of 2108 was $100 more a month-- and 6k drive off.

On a lease basis the 2017 was the sweet spot this week.
