MSRP $73... by mandyr1050

Started looking at V6....but then we drove the V8! We're looking at buying a 2005 (or 2006) Cay S with Coven, Touring, & Activity (susp) pkgs. Also XM, Turbo Wheels, Tire Pres Mon, Heat Ft. Seats & Str Wheel. Black inter but can't decide on Titanium, Black or Basalt Black Met. for exterior. Looking in MD area. MSRP is 73 (56 + lots of options) -- any thoughts on what price I should try for? Also--trying to decide whether to do it NOW or worth waiting for 2007 model. Opinons on colors, options, price and dealership experiences much, much appreciated!

While I can't comment on buying now in '05 or waiting until '07 (that's more a function of your budget, where the MD housing market is going to be, condition of your present car, etc.), Titanium IMHO is an awesome color, relatively easy to keep clean, and fairly rare. I see lots of black Cayennes.
 
While the heated wheel is "free" with heated front seats, be aware that it probably won't be of much use to you in the Middle Atlantic states and isn't too warm anyway. Additonally, a heated wheel means you can't get the neat wood wheel. You could get a wood wheel and still put money in your pocket if you went to the non-metalic black.

Try different banks for lease. Leasecompare.com is a good place to start. Also leasewizard. com. Leasing is sort of of crap shoot if you don't know how it works. You could be taken to the cleaners. The length of the lease, the residual value, the price of the car and the money factor are the most important parameters that will determine your mo payment. There are some good deals for lease if you know where to find them. Good luck.

Okay...looks like we're going with ordering an 06. Retail is $72...dealer offered to split the profit (he'll drop $4). This still seems quite high--am I wrong?
Thanks.

I have basically the same offer from my dealer in the SF bay area. 6% off MSRP for an 06 Cayenne S. He doesn't know the exact price but expects increase of two to three percent over 05 model.
 
I dealt directly with the internet salesman who is also the sales manager for the store. He gave me the offer right off the bat with a $1000 deposit. I tried to see if another dealership would give me the same deal but it took a bit of negotiating and I definitely felt more pressure there, ie "if I can meet that number, you'll buy right now?" They also wanted $5000 down. So I went with the dealer I felt more comfortable with.
 
Interesting to note that the dealer I ended up buying from offered the same 6% off MSRP for the 05s and would not go lower. I guess he figured he could sell his remaining allotment to the "I gotta have it right now" crowd with no problem. The dealer I rejected actually went as low as 8% off the 05s and I think he would have gone as low as 10% off. But IMO, it was better to order an 06 to my exact specs.
 
Car will begin build in August, and hopefully delivered in October. It's a whole lotta money, especially compared to the Lexus GX, but I don't regret it one bit.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've been researching these cars since they came out and my husband and I finally decided to do it. From reading the boards--I was really thinking more along the lines of a 10% discount...I've called a few dealers and am waiting to hear back--but I don't expect much. The fact that there are changes coming for 2007 bothers me...but I guess you just have to give in and go for it at some point! This is not a practical decision for me...and I keep trying to talk myself out of it--but then I keep thinking...life is short...and if we're going to enjoy this car 1/2 as much as I think we will--then just do it! (And get a second job to pay for the damn thing! LOL!)

06 purchase by billyg2

test drove the cayenne sunday on a 97 degree day porsche of nashua (nh).
we asked the salesman if he'd take 8% off the MSRP of an 06. he agreed. he also
agreed to give us a cay for 2 days since my wife was concerned about the engine
noise as compared to our X5. the experience so far has been a good 1 & we'll pick up the loaner in a couple of days. he felt an 06 order now would be in the end of august. figure we'll ask for 12-14% when we're ready as the next starting point.any word on the $ for the 06 models would be appreciated since the salesman didn't have a price list yet.

that's pretty cool that the sales person will drop 8% right away. Are you in Southern California? I am still debating when would be a good timing to buy my Cay S. The car with the color I wanted is coming in this month..I wonder if I should wait until Sept...when 06 will be in shortly...any suggestions?

ma but just over the new hampshire line. there are a handful of boston dealers in my area but this 1 is the closet & would like to buy from them. my advise is to go for the 06 unless your looking savings of around 15% off MSRP since the 05 will be 1 yr old once you drive it home.
