Hi:
 
I ordered from Newport Beach (local dealer).
 
Time from order date to build date varies. Check with the dealers to see what their allocation is for your particular model (S, Cab, Tip etc) and the earliest build date they can offer you.
 
Time from build date to delivery is currently about 6-8 weeks.

Although the Newport Beach people said they wouldn't discount custom orders (only stock) the Thousand Oaks dealer (much closer to my house anyway) said that they would and have a February build date. The Woodland Hills dealer offered a 4% discount right off the bat but wouldn't do 6% and had a build date in March.
 
Thanks for your input - it was the information I needed to get my deal done quickly and easily.

2005 Cab price by alsolia

I am in the market for a 2005 C2 Cab (997). Even though most dealers try to sell this car for 72K+, i think they are dreaming!
What would you guess the right price is? I am thinking more like 67-68K max for a 15K miles with Xenon, Bose.
What's the trade in value for this car? around 60-62k?
Any comment / advice would be appreciated
 
thanks
PS: I live in FL so market might be a little higher

Hi Karen,
 
Can you give me your input with regard to the following deal I worked out at a dealership in Connecticut:
 
Car - 997 Carrera S (Car is in inventory)
Invoice including destination - $89,205
Quoted price by dealer - $83,405
 
Lease term - 36 months
Residual - 59% or $52,631
Annual mileage - 10,000
 
Upfront fees:
 
Acquisition Fee - $745
Registration - $155
Documentation - $239
Disposition Fee - $350
 
Base payment excluding taxes - $1310.55
 
He didn't give me the money factor but is quoting the rate between 6 and 7 percent.
 
Are any of the upfront fees negotiable?
 
Do you think I am getting a reasonable discount (6.7%)?
 
What is your personal opinion if you had to decide between the Carrera S and the Targa 4?
 
Thanks,
 
Steve

Bay Area Pricing... by shulse

I'm shopping 3 dealers, one in Marin and two east bay. Each has a totally different approach. Marin dealer offers 6% discount - immediately. Others say they'll match any local deal. East bay has me drive each one (between S, 4, and base models).
 
While still subjective, how much dealer interaction do you have after buying the car?

Just put a deposit on a 2007 coupe base model. MSRP was $84,200, and negotiated $75,700 plus a $199 doc fee. A friend was buying a new '06 Cayenne S, so we negotiated together, which helped both of us. Guards red, PASM, sport chrono plus, telephonce PCM, heated electric seats, bose sound, 19" classic wheels.

Buying Tips for 996 by porschet

I'm thinking of rejoining the Porsche community with a 2000-02 996 and have read posts about RMS leaks and outrageous service costs. What is the mileage or age that RMS leaks would typically appear? Anything to look for other than the obvious puddle under the car? Are there other typical problems specific to the early 996s that one would look for and would want to avoid in a purchase? What is the usual routine oil change type service charge? A 30,000 more major service? Any other buying tips from your experience, like shipping or long distance mechanical inspections would be useful is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi:
 
My 01 had a small RMS leak around 22K miles. It was repaired under warranty during a standard service (no special visit required). Check the service records of any car you are considering to see if it has been previously fixed. If you are seriously considering a 996 and want to learn more I would recommend you visit a Porsche specific forum like Rennteam.
 
Service costs were not bad. The first 4 years the only maintenance charge I had (other than tires) was the yearly service/oil change which cost about $450. After the warranty expired costs went up slightly since I had to do things like replace brakes, replace battery and other basic upkeep.

Thanks for writing. I checked Rennteam - lots of good information. The newer 911's are a quantum leap from the 69T I had!
