#5 of 22 Re: Ordering a new '07 boxster, how much can I expect to pay? [habitat1] by fun_driver Jan 03, 2007 (10:21 am)
Replying to: habitat1 (Dec 24, 2006 8:43 am) Thanks, stranger and habitat1, I appreciate your feedback.    Based on what I observed, I believe that values don't drop as much as stranger suggests, though I'm aware of the cost of getting a new car. I guess this has me re-think the reasons I want a new car.   So, here they are: Getting a car with the options, colors and combinations that I want (It seems that my taste is not common ) Eliminating getting a used car which was not broken in properly, or had been ms-treated. I thought that the new, more powerful engine was offered for 2007 models only. I doubt that I'll feel the difference, though. Any comments? Thanks.
#6 of 22 Ordering a 2007 Boxster by smoder Jan 17, 2007 (9:57 pm)
I can provide some factual information on Boxster purchases here in California.   Some dealers(although inventory is dropping fast) will offer $9000 off sticker for 06. This is around $1000 below invoice in most cases. Not much selection in color and usually the car is pretty optioned. Regarding an 07; over the phone informally with one dealer they were offering $3400 off which means they were making around $5000 over invoice. I think you should expect to pay about 50% of the gap between MSRP and Invoice(worst case). You will always get a better deal on one in stock. Hope this helps.
#7 of 22 CD CHANGER by drums100 Jan 21, 2007 (2:40 am)
I have a new Boxster with the upgraded BOSE Surround Audio System but no CD changer in the trunk. Has anyone had any experience adding an aftermarket CD changer that still interfaces properly with the head unit? (I know I could buy it from Porsche, but their price is ridiculous)   Thanks.   - Jim Replies to this message: joechicago7 (Feb 27, 2007 3:55 pm) nycny10019 (Mar 01, 2007 11:49 am) beaner603 (Mar 17, 2007 4:23 pm)
#8 of 22 Essential Options by joechicago7 Feb 27, 2007 (3:55 pm)
Replying to: drums100 (Jan 21, 2007 2:40 am) I'm going to buy a Boxster but I want to limit the money I spend on the options.   Does anyone have any opinions as to which options are essential? I don't want to leave anything out either.   Thanks   Joe

Replying to: drums100 (Jan 21, 2007 2:40 am) Hi, I too purchased a Boxter S (2006) and my buddy says I should get an IPOD and have ALL MY MUSIC with me. Ipod (and others) have a "transmitter" that sends the signal to an FM station, so there is no wireing involved.   Let me know what you think or what you find out. I am looking to add a navigator to mine and Pioneer has some slick stuff.. still looking though. Good luck Doug Replies to this message: beaner603 (Mar 17, 2007 4:23 pm)

Replying to: nycny10019 (Mar 01, 2007 11:49 am) I agree with your buddy. I have an iPod and a "Monster" brand FM transmitter that plugs into the DC outlet and recharges the iPod battery as it plays. I'll never buy another car CD changer again. I like having my entire music collection at my fingertips without having to take CDs out of the house. You should download the free iTunes software from apple.com and play around with it; try importing some of your CDs and creating Playlists. Yes, there is some sound deterioration resulting from compressing your music files into mp3 format, but it's barely noticeable to most ears. Even if you're an audio engineer and you're driving with the top down, you'll never notice.

Replying to: fun_driver (Dec 22, 2006 1:16 am) I ordered a 2006 Boxster S at the end of Oct/2005. I got a $2000 discount after working two dealers against each other. Based on the Edmunds PMJ (or whatever) pricing, I was not expecting a discount. I ordered the preferred package plus and have been very satisfied. I would get heated seats and xenon lights, if I did not get the package. The 2007 model has 290 HP but the ratio in first gear is lower and I expect launch speed is slower, but mpg is higher by 1 mpg A good estimate of future trade value can be obtained by looking at Edmunds and Kelly blue and getting an estimate for the key like you plan on buying. For example, I plan to trade my car next year, so I input a 2005 version of my car. As result I got a good estimate of what my car will be worth in 2008. I have found these calculations to be accurate and reliable. This is the best car I've had, substantially better than the z3 and z4 which preceded it. It is a total delight.

Replying to: groberts2 (May 09, 2007 11:52 am) There seems tto be about $7,000 difference between MSRP and Invoice. So your $2,000 discount seems low.   I was hoping to pay $4,000 under MSPR for a 2008 model.   Is that possible?
#14 of 22 End opf year pricing by zignice Jul 06, 2007 (8:14 am)
Anyone have any idea what type of discount I can expect on an 07 now that the 08 is soon to be out?
