Hi dinoman. You definitely should be able to negotiate a larger discount on a 2012 911 than you would be able to get on a 2013 model.
 
Porsche Financial Services' August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 911 Cab S with 12,000 miles per year are .00200 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 model are .00200 and interestingly exactly the same 55%.

I just took delivery on a 2012 911S. Factory ordered. I placed the order in March 2012 for a 2012, but found out during the June build that it would be delivered as a 2013. PDK, sport plus, sport exhaust, folding mirrors, bose and factory painted black sport rims.
 
The dealer gave me a 4.5% off MSRP and his cost on an installation of a full front clear bra. Not a screaming deal, but better than anyone else in Northern California was willing to give me for a factory ordered 911 and very good customer service.
 
I evaluated leasing and was quoted the 48 month residual of 50% and a money factor of .00240 (the dealer was transparent that he was marking up the buy rate)....but I figured the car would be worth at least 50% in four years as a tradein...and I wanted to avoid all the lease fees and hassle, so I decided to just go with a cash purchase.

I am wondering if its normal for the dealer to mark up the lease rate. I noticed the program says .00200 and he wanted to charge .003500

Hi dcohen2683. Dealers, particularly luxury-brand dealers, try to mark up vehicle's money factors all the time. Having said that, savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to lease vehicles without any sort of money factor mark-up. I certainly wouldn't let a dealer mark up the money factor on me if I was interested in leasing something. Shoot got the buy rate and see what happens.

#454 of 540 Residuals by dfc52

Sep 05, 2012 (12:27 pm)

Hi Car Man:
I've noticed that the residuals you've been quoting are now below 60%. In answer to question #445 you replied, "Porsche Financial Services' August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 991 S Coupe with 10,000 miles per year are .00200 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. " A few months back I was seeing residuals in the 60% + range for the same lease. Do you know why the residual dropped so much?
  
I was considering a 24mos lease of this same vehicle, but at a 57% residual, I'm not sure I want to now.
 
Thanks for your help.

which dealer did you end up going with in N. Calif? I'm also thinking of doing a factory order.

Good question dfc52. Vehicles' residual values almost always gradually decline as the model year progresses. A vehicle's resids will be significantly higher at the beginning of the model year than they will be at the end.
