#91 of 122 2007 Cayman by kyfdx HOST Dec 29, 2007 (8:47 am)
I noticed an Indiana dealership has two (2) relatively low-optioned Caymans, new, advertised for a little over $10K off MSRP.   Original MSRPs of $52K+ and $55K+..   They appear to be new, zero-mile cars.. Anyone seen similar or better deals out there? This seems to be a good price.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: donc6 (Dec 31, 2007 8:56 am) kyfdx (Dec 31, 2007 9:41 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 29, 2007 8:47 am) Hey, its already 2008... and the '08s have been coming in for a while... If you see a 2007 outfitted with what you want, and they have any sort of discount, you should pull the trigger! The dealers won't be as generous with the '08s for another 8 months -- that's my opinion... I bought my Cayman 07 in July just before the '08s were to start builds...and my dealer negoiated a bit... like 7%. My advice is to buy your car ... IF... they are outfitted as you would like. I think the $52K car has limited accessories.. while the $55K might be more to your liking... Mine had the PPA, 18" wheels (a must!), upgrades sound and CD changer... and was 54+ MSRP.. a nicely outfitted model. anything less would feel like a stripped down model! That'smy opinion..

Replying to: donc6 (Dec 31, 2007 8:56 am) I'm not wild about the way the 18" Cayman S wheel looks on the base model.. Something about the smaller brake calipers on the base model... to each his own. I'm sure yours looks fantastic.   However, in general, 18" look better, I agree... Not happy about replacement cost, of course..   I agree about the extra options going from $52K-$55K.. Usually, that first $3K of options on a base car is all stuff you really want.. One thing I'm surprised about, though... Most base Caymans on the lot don't have Xenons... which I generally want..   I haven't called this dealer, but if the website prices are accurate, looking at 19%-21% off of MSRP. Both are Silver/black, so no issues there..   Did I mention my wife? $900 car payments are a sticking point..
#95 of 122 2008 Cayman S by clucas Jan 22, 2008 (3:49 pm)
I am very excited with the Cayman S. Seriuosly planning to purchase a brand new 2008. Made an offer $500 below the invoice of $52,000. Haven't heard from the dealer. Maybe, my offer is ridicoulosly low. Any advice to get the best deal would be deeply appreciatred.  Dealership: Michael Stead Porsche of Walnut Creek(California) Replies to this message: kmans (Jan 22, 2008 4:01 pm) donc6 (Jan 22, 2008 5:21 pm) madmanmoo (Jan 22, 2008 8:32 pm)

Replying to: clucas (Jan 22, 2008 3:49 pm) It helps to go in armed. So let me give you something.   First you need to stop by http://www.caymanclub.net and visit the sales and leasing section to see what cars are actually going for around the country. While you can get below invoice on a 2007 I haven't seen ANY dealership go that low on a 2008 without incentives from Porsche.   So now here is a bonus. When you go to Michael Stead ask for Mike Pardini, tell him the CaymanClub sent you and that you want the insider deal on a Cayman and he'll get you the lowest price that dealership can offer.   You can thank me later.

Replying to: clucas (Jan 22, 2008 3:49 pm) I hate to say it, but that offer is pretty much dead. I've not heard of anyone getting a "new" Cayman at below invoice -- especially mid model year! I bought my base 2.7, argurably a less desirable model, toward the end of the 2007 model year for that price... If the sticker price is about $65 (S + options), I would think the dealer might, might be interested at $58K -- unless the economy is getting really, really bad for Porsche dealers.   I second kmans' comment about visiting caymanclub.net. I've been crawling that website for a few months now and it is, by far, the best source of information on Cayman around.   Good luck, but you might be a bit more generous/realistic. D

Replying to: clucas (Jan 22, 2008 3:49 pm) You might start thinking Porsche instead of Kia. Totally different mindset. Porsche aims to make some money. Up that offer 4k and you might have a deal.   -moo
#99 of 122 New Cayman S Porsche Design by savantnoir Mar 23, 2008 (10:21 pm)
I am new to the thread, and have read all the posts, but they seem to be all over the place. That being the case, I will just jump into this with some of my expereinces and thoughts.   I bought last week the new Porsche Design Cayman S. The particular model I got was $92,000 (pretty much fully loaded, including Chrono, CCB, PASM, PCM, etc etc). I could have bought any 911 model. I also could have bought another Aston Martin (as my previous car was A-M DB7 Volante.   People buy cars for different reasons. I did not buy the "poor man's entry level Porsche" because it was all I could afford. To me, the looks in conjunction with it flawless handling, was the basis of my decision. Is the TT faster? Well, yes it is from 0-60.but the Cayman S beat it on the 12 mile test tract by .10 second because it can out -corner the 911 by a long shot! I have seen so many people say...."hell, a Z06 can kick a Caymans butt for the same price". Yes it can. Hopefully it will last the 3 years of your purchase agreement. When your 3 years is up and you are looking to sell it ...be happy if you get 22k. Also, at the end of those three years you can hardly wait to get rid of it!   Porsche has never been about JUST speed. Porsche, Aston, Lambro, Ferrari,m et al, offer an automotive expereince. What asp[ects of the total expereince most appeal to you, will be the compelling emotive forces behind your buying decision. All Porsches are GREAT cars, they are all easily 'daily drivers' that can just take a beating and keep giving you more. If you are willing to pay for all the luxury upgrades (and run your Cayman up to about 100k)..you also have one handsomely outfitted luxurious automobile in which the craftsmanship is impeccable. (The Vette Z-06 can never be made luxurious)!   I wanted a Cayman since the day they came out. I loved the design. Personally, I am a little tired of the 911 look.it has been around 57 years, and i dont want a car as old as me! When I saw a picture of the Porsche Design Cayman S.....that was all it took. THe next day I bought one at Newport Auto Center, Newport Beach, California.   When it comes to going out with friends....well..i still have my Audi A-8 (which i also love).
