Replying to: sellaturcica (Oct 24, 2007 8:04 pm) 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.
#76 of 112 Just how good a deal is this? by trewquis Oct 27, 2007 (4:35 pm)
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.

#77 of 112 Discount by sellaturcica Oct 28, 2007 (5:49 pm)
There is definitely a discount on 2007, check out some of the cayman sites as well.

Replying to: trewquis (Oct 27, 2007 4:35 pm) $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.

Replying to: habitat1 (Oct 30, 2007 8:53 am) 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!

Replying to: donc6 (Oct 30, 2007 9:40 am) 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. Replies to this message: donc6 (Dec 21, 2007 3:08 pm)

Replying to: trewquis (Oct 30, 2007 6:50 pm) I've commented on this recently in the Caymanclub.net website.. a really good one BTW. But, since the lots are full of 2008's now, the key thing is whether the car has the options that you want/are happy with. The discount is good, but 2007's are a bother to dealers right now. The only other thing to inquire about is when did they "punch" the begining of the waranty period -- it may have already started and you will not get the full time period.   But.. if the car is what you like.. go for it..
