MSRP's - reply by mdellinger

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I will tell the dealer here that unless he is planning to discount the Cayenne off MSRP, I might as well move to another dealer. Maybe I will work him over on my trade-in and get the discount that way.

Do both....
 
May as well get the best deal you can. Time is your friend on this kind of thing, the longer you sweat them the sweeter the deal. If you are under no pressure to do the deal you are in the best position.
 
Good Luck.

I just negotiated a great deal in the South Bay at Pacific Porsche. But prior to that, I had been speaking with a dealer in San Jose about a white Cayenne S I wanted... They were negotiating too. So if Walnut is saying they're not negotiating make a few calls and travel a few hours! It will be worth your time..... Look what I got!
 
Here's what I posted in the Cayenne Leasing section...A BIG Thank You to Edmunds and all of you! I'm female and blonde and wasn't about to go to the dealer unarmed so I found this site and thanks to all of you who shared, I think I got a rocking deal on a New Cayenne S, two days ago. I took the information that I read here, found the car by searching the entire State of California, found the few that I wanted and basically told them what I would pay on a New Cayenne S, 3 year lease, 12k miles per year. A few dealers later, a few hours invested and I got exactly what I wanted!!!!!
I will share what I negotiated.
MSRP $69,395.00
$63,312.00 Final Price (9% off MSRP)!!!!.
Monthly Payment, Including TAX and LoJack, $899.00
I did trade in my O4 Porsche Cayenne which represented a $4,785.reduction so you need to take that in to account. Zero cash out of pocket.
Residual Value appears to be 61%.
I was told that the Lease Factor that I got was .025 although I can't verify that on my paperwork.
I hope this helps others!
Thanks again! Oh and by the way, I'm in Southern California.
Ratings!

If you're referring to Michael Stead Porsche in WC, I just bought a Cayenne GTS there a week ago. I can tell you that they sold it to me at BELOW TMV price with 6% financing. It may have something to do with a Memorial's Day weekend sale or that the particular SUV I purchased goes for that price but you may want to try them again. Norbert Jensen was my salesperson. He did mention that he was surprised that it went that low. But then again, I would have been willing to walk away...for a minutes maybe!! These damned Porches are so alluring.

Thank you. I appreciate all of the feedback. I agree--these forums are great. The sales guy did open up yesterday and say that 7% off MSRP is not unheard of, plus they have a 2004 Cayenne Turbo on the lot that the GM was driving--low miles, so I might try to steal that car and get the turbo. I haven't had a used car in FOREVER, but if I can steal the used turbo, then I might have the ultimate machine.

Good luck with the Turbo...I almost bought it! I believe it only had 28k miles on it and I'm sure it was well maintained at the dealership. The only drawback is that I've heard from other forums NOT to by any Cayenne except 2005 and newer. This one particular Cayenne may just be an exception.
 
Also, if you're looking for an iPod or Bluetooth connection, talk to Eric Schaeffer in Service as he recommends the mObridge (which will set you back about $1200 installed). Porsche does NOT make OEM iPod or Bluetooth hardwired to the PCM 2.1...I've done the research (compared Nav-Tv, Dension 500, Tooki, mObridge, etc). Michael Stead, so far, has the cheapest price for the product and installation but mObridge has a backlog on their end as far as production goes. It may take awhile to get your hands on one...

Just like to know why you choose the GTS then the new turbo.Is the GTS really better like I have been hearing. Would you post some driving experience comfort handling etc.

Appreciate the info. I am getting the impression from other blogs that the new Cayenne's are improved enough to justify a new one. I will probably target a new Cayenne S--it has enough power and drives great.

Honestly, I was looking at a Cayenne S and the GTS caught my eye. It essentially has the grille and the distinguished Turbo accoutrements... but not the 500 hp engine. The hp of the GTS is only 20 more than that of the S, so that wasn't the draw for me. See for yourself at a dealership (21 inch rims, the red brake calipers, the front grille difference, the rear bucket seats with the Alcantara leather, horizontal sidelights and indicator lights, etc). The drive wasn't much different from the S, but mine came with the optional air suspension so I could lower the SUV by an inch so that it would have a lower center of gravity.
 
Unfortunately, at this time of year you cannot custom order your Porsche. You can only get what's out there, unless you want to wait until the next production year --2009. Otherwise, I probably would have included the PDCC so you can take turns better. In the 300 miles I've put in the car so far, I haven't really noticed any leaning when I take turns fast. Maybe for the average Joe like me, the base suspension should suffice.
 
As far as comfort goes, the Cayenne GTS is not like my Landcruiser. It's not made for comfort. It's built for speed and the GTS Sport seats are rigid (to keep you in). The Sport Seat Package is standard on the GTS and the Turbo. I read in another forum where a guy had some of the stiff foam from the side bolsters removed because it was pinching his ribs!! You may want to consider getting the soft leather seat option on a Cayenne S if you want comfort, or buy a new Landcruiser. That SUV is hard to beat. The powerful 383 hp ride is so comfortable it'll put you to sleep! I'll have to take the GTS on a longer ride before I can truly comment on comfort. I can tell you though that my wife is complaining that the seats are not as soft as the one found in our Landcruiser. If your significant other is like my wife and you don't want to hear constant complaining from your passenger, you may really want to consider getting the Cayenne S with the soft leather seats. In fact I insist!
 
In sum, I wanted an SUV that flies, not one that cradles me. I took it on a side road (without my wife, of course) and went as fast as 100mph and it felt like I was shot like an arrow on a windless day. The steering wheel didn't even jitter in the least bit and the engine roared (especially in the Sport mode). It'll take your breath away. In the end, this may be my only Porsche (I hope not) so I decided to splurge a little and got the GTS. I have nothing against the Turbo (who does?), but if I splurged more, I'm afraid I'd be tapping into my kid's college education fund not to mention my 401k. Good luck shopping and I hope I answered some of your questions! By the way, did you see yesterday's JD Power and Associates survey? Porsche #1 ...

Thanks for the info. Good input. I am targeting a Cayenne S now with some (not all due to availability) of the features that I want. Sounds like the suspension issue, either optional or not, is fine.
 
My wife has a Lexus GX, so we get our luxury from that. I will probably try to find the sportiest Cayenne S that I can find in the color that I want.
 
I refuse to pay too much. High-end cars and trucks are tough to sell right now, but of course, no one wants my trade either, so I am trying to sell my other SUV to a private party. Once that sells (hopefully this weekend), I will be working the Porsche dealers on their pricing--can't wait to be driving my new Cayenne S.
 
Thanks again for everyone's input.
