Porsche Dealers question

might be worth sharing location and then existing clients may share their personal experiences

 

Targas are rare

Use the locator to save some time

Porsche New Inventory Search - Porsche Cars North America

 

if you (the OP) are looking for a generous discount, don't get your hopes up... especially if inventories are thin and availability is limited... also the dealers are selling everything they get... if they offer anything, it will only be a token at best

Just build your own Targa. Most of the dealer stock cars probably have a bunch of options you wouldn't want anyway, and that way you can spec it exactly as you like, but not pay more than you're willing to.

 

I believe 8 to 10% is doable on run of the mill NEW porsche ....anything that is limited in volume will not give that kind of discount . Of course some dealers are not as interested in discounting as others ..

....and This.

 

You are looking at a pretty wide range of vehicles! I think since it is your first Porshe I would go with a 997.2 low mileage car, C2S, C4S or GTS. If automatic is OK with you the PDK trans is great and also direction injection on the gen 2 997s are worth while updates plus NO IMS issues on any gen 2 cars. Also there are some tech updates with gen 2 cars - Bluetooth and IPod. I think any of those cars will give you a good Porsche experience and can be DD if you want.

After a couple of years you can decide to up grade to exactly what you want and order the exact spec you want. Dealers don't discount the up grade models much if at all. The "base models" you can likely get 10% off but if will not be equipped the way you want. Also buying off the lot expect the colors to be limited to silver, grey, black or white. A very few cars are ordered by the dealers in different colors - yellow, lava orange, guards red, Miami blue etc. Usually those cars are ordered loaded with options.

I have owned several Pcars and usually bought low mileage used cars. Otherwise I ordered exact spec car. I have been happy with both approaches but the "deal", if that is important has always been the 1-3 year low mileage car.

Good luck shopping- it's all fun!

 

Check if they have 2016's in stock. Best deals with those.

Good luck with which ever model you decide to buy. I am a relatively new owner of Porsche cars .It started with buying panamera GTS for my wife in 2014 , then a used 997.2 , then a 2015 911 GTS, then a 2016 cayenne turbo for my wife .I still own all of the cars. I did special order two of them and bought one from inventory and was able to get a very good good deal on each of them. I am now looking at selling my 997.2 and buying a 911 turbo s.. negotiating now.. I am loyal to my dealer as they treat me pretty good .I also have a very nice 930

 

I work at Champion Porsche Targas are very very hard to come by We have none in stock or incoming That being said i dont think you will find any at a great discount Stores that have cars know the demand and are probably not going to be ready to sell at big discounts

 

as a current Targa owner, I am curious how many are being made a year as it seems most dealers get 1 allocation a year

Nice looking car!

Pretty much any model with low allocations are close to full sticker if not above sticker especially early in the model year.
