Here in the San Francisco Bay Area the dealers do not seem to realize that Cayenne sales are down about 30% compared to last year. I decided not to order an 06 at this point because I know prices will drop once the 06 models arrive in two months. I asked the salesman if they would let an 05 CayS go for 10% off MSRP, just to gauge his reaction. He acted as if I had asked for his first born. Since I was the only customer in the entire store at 3pm on a Saturday, I thought he would put up a token fuss and then gladly relent. Nope. He let me walk. The biggest thing in the buyer's favor is patience. When the lots start filling up with 05s and the 06s have to be unloaded off the ships, something's gotta give. Not to mention the Cayenne's less than stellar reliability rating, which granted most of us are willing to put up with, but not at anything near MSRP. The salesman will call me back. He has already called me five times before asking me to come in and take just one more test drive. Then I'll ask for a custom order 06 with 8% off. IMO, buying an 05 at this point is a losing proposition unless you can get at least 11% off. Dealers are still looking for the uninformed buyer who wanders in and thinks that $2000 off a PORSCHE! is a steal. As far as the Cayenne goes, those days are over. I'd like to know how much negotiating had to be done by those that got 10% or more off their purchase. Based on my experience, these folks had to go through trench warfare to get those prices. Either that or I'm a horrible negotiator.

They're going to give me a free oil service, and I'll pay for the Certification. My belief is that EVERY potential buyer get at least 8% off on the Cay S, and probably more with heavy options. A base Cayenne S has a $7k gap on invoice vs MSRP. With options, that gap widens. Even if you go $1000 or $2000 over invoice, don't worry, they're making their precious $$. You also must consider depreciation!!! Get a good deal or walk baby! |

Purely the base model w/ Tiptronic -- only option on it is floor mats. Negotiated 8.7% off MSRP and had them throw in a dealer installed sat radio. Do you think I got a good deal? I assume I would not be able to get as much off percentage wise since there were no options on this car. Any thoughts?? |

I went up by appointment one Saturday to see a couple of certified X5s they had listed on the official BMW North America web site. After a lot of back and forth, they couldn't show them to me because they didn't have them. They hadn't even taken them in in trade yet! I strongly recommend the guys at Exit 5.

Replying to: billyg2 (Jul 08, 2005 5:43 am) Well, its a long story. Suffice to say that with Section 179 I paid about 31K net for a 47K Cay. I wouldn't have bought a Cay (or anything new, really) if it weren't for the Section 179. I found it hard to get (and I've posted this earlier) a Cay without lots of useless options. Inskip acted as though it was my fault for not wanting to buy NAV (we live in New England; if you can't find I90 running East/ West and I95 running North/ South, maybe you should move) and "soft" leather. Soft leather for those that have not been on the Porsche web site costs a bunch extra and looks as though a high school prom couple spent the night in your Cay consummating their 2 week "relationship". Inskip allowed as how they could order in a vehicle but sniffed and said they "had never done it before". If Roger Penske ever hears about this, heads will roll in Warwick. Chambers was more accomodating but had Cays mostly in various shades of black. (Regrettably, it snows in New England. Black looks good only for three weeks a year.) I called Pass & Weiss because I liked their low key ads and that their service manager apparently is a Ph. D. (I recall seeing an ad for mechanics in the Boston Globe asking applicants to call Dr....). For some reason I never went there (maybe I do need NAV: where the heck is Carlise?). The clock was ticking, literally. My lobster gear was all out of the water and I had to do something. My wife thought I was nuts and refused to discuss the issue anymore with me. Friday, 28 December was the last business day of the year. So, I left for Nashua at 9:00 AM with a friend. The boys in Nashua had a great selection in good colors. I didn't feel that they resented me for trying to buy a car from them. I gave them a check and asked them to call me when it cleared. My friend and I got back into the F150 and went home.

Replying to: blckislandguy (Jul 09, 2005 3:02 pm) give us a great deal buy taking $2500 off an S. we told him porsche of nashua offered us 9% off & immediately he said he'd match the price to win our business. i walked out of there not too impressed since the dealership was cramped for space, the bathroom door was right next to the seat i was sitting in, & loaners consisted of audi A 4's while nashua lent out cay's. anyway i called nashua up & said if they matched 9% then we had a deal since nashua had actually given us 8 1/2% off as their rock bottom. they called back & came up a 1/2 so this afternoon we drove up from carlisle & wrote up the 06 S. yep it was black with some goodies msrp of 64 & change and no nav system. oh and carlisle my friend is next to concord right over the nh boarder. the expansion of rt 3 really makes it an easy trip for me to exit 5. 9% off makes me happy & they still make 4 geez & change according to edmund's invoice. it should arrive sometime in oct.
