Exactly. I thought about trying to find the PASM, but I don't know what's available in 2007s still. They should be getting pretty desperate to deal in my part of the world, as winter is about to close in in New England.

Start there, but don't limit your search to your nearby dealers in New England. Everybody's inventory is accessible through Porsche's website. The dealer I bought from in Baltimore ships cars to California.

Just how good a deal is this? by trewquis

So I was surfing the local Audi dealer to see what they had in stock, was considering testing a TT. Turns out they also carry Porsches. They have a new '07 Cayman that stickers for $52,185 that they'll sell for $44,995. I couldn't imagine that you could get a Porsche for less than most TTs. So I was wondering just how good a deal this is? Is this a steal, or just the going rate?
 
Thanks.

There is definitely a discount on 2007, check out some of the cayman sites as well.

$7,200 off sounds like an extremely good deal if it is a brand new car (not demo). I would have thought 10-11% off (i.e. $5,500+/-) on a leftover brand new 2007 would be a very good deal.
 
Be forwarned however, that the Cayman S is a real sports car and the TT is more of a sporty coupe. If you want the former, you will never consider a TT again after a test drive. I know Audi tried to go on a diet, but depending upon the configuration, the TT can still weigh as much as the Cayman S with an large Cape Buffalo sitting in the passenger seat. I think you beter make sure what kind of car you want before you cross shop these two. They are at different ends of the spectrum of two seaters.

A $7200 discount is a good deal as long as you like the color and accessories... probably really wants this car off the lot. the discount may reflect a heavily loaded car.. but, forget the TT... you'll love the Cayman!

Actually had the numbers off a bit, the sticker is $54,110 so actually over a $9,000 discount. It's an '07 and has 150 miles on it, to me that is new. The only significant option is the preferred plus package which gives you the Bose stereo, that's nice, the other stuff I don't really care about. The color is red with black interior, the same as my current car, so obviously I like it. I'm keeping the old one for foul weather and the like, so red and black will be my team colors. The one thing it doesn't have that I'd like is an i-pod adapter (hate shuffling CDs) but that's not even an option.
 
Drove it, it's great. Worried some about practicality issues so opted for the lesser commitment of a three year lease. Got the standard Porsche MF which is lousy, and acq fee, but they upped the resid 3% over standard which was nice. So I'm looking at a depreciation of only $12K or so. I've agreed to $0 down. I know people usually say it is a bad idea to do cap reduction, but with the lousy MF and the small depreciation, does it make sense in this case? I'm due to sign and pick up tomorrow so I can still play with the terms.
 
It gets shockingly good mileage - save the planet, drive a Porsche. Insurance was reasonable too. Downside, I have to pay the annual state personal property tax and the assessed "value" will most likely be closer to MSRP.

Is it new? Or, service loaner/demo?
