Thanks for the comment re 2004 CT. Are you happy with it? What's not there compared with 2005-6

Iam very happy with it. It drives like a dream and does not have the typical problems reported on these vehicles such as vibration, hesitation, or oil consumption. As far as I know there are not significant differences with the 05-06s except they increased the price a little. Others may know more if there are subtle changes. The 07 is supposed to be a redesign but the spy pics dont look dramatically different to me. I feel great about the purchase.... Be prepared for 12 MPG on premium gas though!

Thanks again. I appreciate the dialog. This is a painful move from my 993 twin turbo. Gotta get "practical". Offered a 2005 with 1500 miles at $89000 which seems too high altho lots of options one doesn't need (who can use a GSM phone in the US?). Also a 04 with 15000 miles for 77. All comments welcome. And again thanks for the dialog

I know where you are coming from .... My other car is a 996 turbo. I would hate to give it up for the Cayenne TT. Eventhough the Cayenne drives great its no 911. If the 2004 has options you like you might offer 69-71 unless its certified by a dealer in which case I would offer 72-73. I think good deals can be had on these vehicles because they over-produced them and gas prices have probably cut into demand further. Feel free to ask any more questions and let us know how you do. Check out autotrader.com for some sample prices if you want.

I ended up not buying the 06 Cayanne, since there will be a body change in spring of 2007 and it will hurt the resale of the old body style. I just have to dream about driving my new Cayanne for another six months but I think it will be well worth it for long term.

That seems like a lot considering you could get a low miles 05 turbo for the same price and avoid some of that drastic depreciation.

Doesn't sound so great. I recently special ordered an '06 CS with lots of options (sticker came to about $71) and dealer took a 9.6 percent off. Looks like your numbers translate to about 7.2% off...but maybe pricing for the Turbo is different. I know the more options you want, the better discount available because there is lots of profit built into the options. Also, not sure if you are special ordering, but I think you have to expect to get a little better deal if you are buying from the dealers "lot inventory".

view1:
I went through the same analysis but I decided not to wait. The changes won't be that significant as Porsche changes are "evolutionary" not "revolutionary". The pics on auto spies I'll bet will prove really misleading and actually changes will be very subtle
. Also, there are good discounts to be had now, but when the refresh comes out, I'll bet that discounts will not be as good because lots of C owners coming off lease will be taking them. Lastly, Ilike the idea of getting a late model before the refresh because bugs have been worked out and there will (as usual) be little annoyances with a brand new model. (For e.g. the '03-04 Boxster looks really similar to the '05, but all the kinks were worked out, while the 05 Boxster has lots of little problems).
My car was special ordered in Sept. and arrived this week.

I have done some searching and have only found 4 of these for sale in the US. The one that is closest to being equipped the way that I want is in PA (I live in WA). The dealer has offered 2500 off MSRP. Does the fact that is has this rare option make it less likely I will get a better deal?
