2008 car on the lot. Discount off MSRP?

Still trying to find the replacement for my 2.7 that is going away in October. There is a 2008 with an MSRP of $66,770 on the lot.

I would like to pay $60k.

Am I crazy?

Any word on discounts off MSRP on 2008 cars that are on the lot?

A dealer would be out of his mind to not move a car sitting in his inventory considering he'd still be making a considerable amount of profit at the price you'd like to pay. Unless the 60k you want to pay is out the door... then I could see them having a bit of an issue. Try talking to the Internet Sales Manager.

I was thinking that 10 percent off MSRP was decent for an 08.

I have a 08 CS on order. Only drawback is the agony of waiting 3 months to get it.

8-10% off on a 2008 is definitely possible, especially if you were to pay cash.

Why is that? If the dealer can arrange financing (either through Porsche finance or another semi-captive) the dealer can make money on the financing as well.

I agree 100% with Da Hapa. I paid cash for my Cayman S and my dealer tried to negotiate that I finance some portion of it for at least 90 days so they could make some money on the back end. I declined their offer and they still sold me the car at the negotiated discount.

Paying cash is prob. the worst way to get a deal.

Dealers make money selling new cars in several ways:
- car margin
- trade-ins
- financing
- warranties, accessories, etc.

Financing profits can def. subsidize dealer discounts.

I wouldnt sell a 2007 for that.

BTW. I am not sure why people assume paying cash is any different than financing or leasing. Our prices do not change a cent. Dealerships actually make more money on financing/leasing.

That sounds like a very good deal for a order. Congrats!

That is an awesome deal, do you have a long standing relationship with the dealer? Have you bought a lot of cars from them?

Why should a dealer say no to this? I mean they are making easy money guaranteed. I never understood why dealers won't go lower on orders than they will on cars on the lot. Seems counter intuitive.

What is a fair discount off MSRP?

Am I correct in thinking 15% off a NOS '07 is reasonable. 8-10% off '08s?
