You are not having a dream, it is going to turn into a nightmare. Carreras are in short supply, check inventory nationwide. 9% is about tops, if you can get 7% you are doing well.

Replying to: sameol6 (Sep 15, 2007 8:16 pm) The Porsche Certified program is a warranty and not a service contract. It is for 100,000 miles and basically the same as the new car. The way they have it set up is you get the same dispute resolution as applied on the new car warranty. That makes the Certified program warranty actually better than the new car one. Porsche does not charge for the Certified program car, but the dealer may charge a fee for the inspection, etc. Many try to tack on as much as $1,500, but is all additional dealer profit.

Replying to: vwguild1 (Sep 19, 2007 2:52 pm) You are correct about the requirements, however you have been misinformed concerning the charges. Whomever has told you this, possibly a salesperson, may not know the true facts either. This is a high added profit maker for the dealer which many times is very protected. I have found the same true of many factory incentives (not of Porsche) passed to the dealer with intention to be passed on to the consumer, but the dealer will keep it all for himself. I recently proved several metro Infiniti dealers were concealing a $5,500 spiff on 2007 QX56 models from the sales force and the dealers were making the entire ADP, sharing only with the F&I managers. Porsche receives, nor charges a dime for the Certified Warranty. I have litigated this issue, and was surprised to learn the true facts. Anytime someone pays for the Porsche Certified, it is purely added dealer markup which generally the finance officer, salesperson,and management share, the service manager and technician also get a cut. This arrangement is just like the doc prep fees are shared among many of the store employees surprisingly including the receptionist, secretary, etc. I personally believe this is good business, knowing the lady who answers the phone and takes messages may want to take care of me for a future spiff. Brumo's even gives a chunk of it for cancer research.
