Invoice/Retail

When I did the numbers on the Boxster S it was 11.9% average with all the options it wanted. The options may vary 1% (probably a rounding error). Did I use Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds? Cannot remember now.

Hope this helps.

 

12% on paper and a 3% "hidden" service hold back..........options are around 15%........rebates in effect at the time of sale not counting.

Is $4K off a good deal on a 2010 997TT ? Depends on your "schwing"......local market, and dealer allocation.

 

Jim......

The fact that they "are" discounting new Turbos today says a lot. And once the few ballers who pay MSRP for the first "S" are gone, they'll drop those as well.

I used to be the sales manager for a P-dealer for 4 years.....all PCNA cares about is that you turn the inventory when times are tough. Go in and offer them half of their margin on the car that you want.......if it is on the ground costing them interest you'll probably get it.....if it is a factory order you're doing with paint to sample, lots of "Porsche Exclusiv" leather options, etc, they'll be even more agreeable I think, as they have more room to work with.

Personally though, I'd never buy a new Porsche Turbo if I was so inclined, unless I really, really, wanted to custom order one. I'd wait 18 months, then grab a used one with <10Kmiles and save $30K +/-.....

 

i have purchased many p cars. i would buy a car only if the dealer gives at least a 10% discount on a current model. 20% discount for last year's model (new vehicle with full warranty).

 

BMW is about 7%

only dealerships who have an extremely high volume coupled with high CSi, specific sales targets met, inventory turn etc.... etc... are awarded what they call 3% money at the end of the year. The target to get this is always a moving target and dealerships do not really "operate" out of the 3% because its no guarantee

 

Take advantage of the 1.9% financing. That's worth at least 2% and more if you are a savvy investor.

 

Also, porsche is about 10% as well in typical markup. Everything else is incentives/rebates. The markup will never change. Its all the little crap porsche gives its dealers durning certain months to help move a particular model. IF boxsters start circling the lot... guess what... 2500 rebate or special lease incentive etc... if 911s start to do it.. 4500 off etc... Its the car business... its just the way it works. Get the car for as close as invoice as you can and then when the car shows up, if a killer rebate shows up tell them you want that too or they are stuck with the car you ordered. Because if they don't give it to you they are just being greedy.... Because in there original deal they were making money, and then when the car shows up with extra incentive, then they get more money. However, if you are ordering a car sometimes incentives only are on cars that are in stock or cars you take delivery by XXXXX date.

In the end, pay the price that makes you happy. Thats why you are buying the car. If you could get a 911 turbo brand new for 75k and the dealer was making 74k it shouldn't matter... you are getting a great car for a great price.
