Actually, don't know much about Porsche financing options either. I paid cash, but could have (and still can) borrow at a margin interest rate of 6% or a home equity rate in the 7% range (which is tax deductable). The effective after tax rates of those options (3.5-5%) is better than any "conventional" car loan, I think.
 
Paying cash is something I've been doing since my first new car in 1978. Not necessarily the most financially prudent way to pay for a car, but it's kept me from ever buying more than I could afford and there is no monthly pain.

I'm considering the same thing--there's a leftover (new) '06 Cayman S at my local dealership. I'm trying to infer the money factor and residual from the '07 values that I've found in your posts. Is this a good assumption? What are the values for the '06 on a 24 month lease?
 
Thanks.

Hello Car Man,
 
I too was drawn to the dealer by this lease add.
 
Since then I have decided that I am interested in the following Cayman:
Base Cayman 5 speed with no upgrades other than the Arctic Silver Paint, 18" Cayman S wheels and some floor mats.
 
My credit is excellent, (above 800)
 
I was quoted the following:
52,300 MSRP
48,789 Sale Price
3000 down
48 Month Lease
10K Miles per year
$722.35 total monthly payment in CA (w/Tax)
 
We hashed through so many different scenarios that I am not sure if they are taking into account about 2K in equity I have in my trade in this calculation or not.
 
Miles aren't really an issue for me as I have another car, this is the weekend fun and trip car.
 
I have played with the leasing calculator on the site, but still not sure if I am plugging the numbers in correctly
 
Some have suggested that I save up more cash for a down payment and buy the car using extended financing such as a 72 Month loan.
 
Any suggestions and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats digiedit!
 
Can you shed some light on MSRP, Sell Price, residual, and money factor?
 
Sounds like I can work myself a better deal.
 
If so I may get my Cayman after all.

Base Cayman Lease Question by voodooist

Hello,
 
I'm looking for suggestions on a Cayman Lease.
So far this is the car I am looking at, though I did find one slightly more expensive with the heated seats, xenon lights and stereo upgrade that is an option also.

My credit is excellent,
  
I was quoted the following:

Hello voodooist. Let me begin by saying that you really shouldn't make such a large down payment when leasing. I always advise consumers against making down payments on leased vehicles because consumers who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. This goes for any equity that you have in your trade as well. You would be better off having the dealer cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a capitalized cost reduction.
 
The selling price that you were quoted for the Cayman that you are interested in looks reasonable to me, but it probably wouldn't hurt to comparison shop with another dealer or two to see if that is the best that you can do on this model in your area. Also, make sure to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately: "Porsche Cayman: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
 
Once you arrive at a selling price that you are comfortable with, have the dealer that gives it to you calculate your monthly payment using Porsche Credit's buy rate lease money factor of .00310.

2008 Cayman Lease, 36 mo. and $2500-3000 down by vmichael

Hello! This will be my first Porsche and I'm very excited, but would appreciate a little help from someone who knows more about leases (Porsche leases, to be exact) than I do. So thanks in advance for your help!
 
I am considering leasing a 2008 Cayman (in California) with a MSRP of $51,845. I haven't gone in to see the car yet, but plan to do so this weekend and if the price is right, I'll lease it. I talked to a salesman on the phone today and he said that he could get my monthly payment (on a 10,000 mile, 36 month lease) to be at or just below $800 per month, including taxes, with $3000 down. There is no trade in here. This seems a bit high to me; is it? How can I negotiate a better deal (I'd like to get the car at around $650 a month with the same or less down)- what is a realistic expectation?
 
Thanks again for your help!
