Note sales are at an all-time low (Not unusual for the month of Feb), and the Cayman model outsold the Cayman S model.
Should be interesting to see what happens in March!

Okay, I'm going to ask again. I got a near invoice deal on a leftover '06 S Cayman S and from anecdotes here many others have too. Is this a normal year end Porsche thing? or a one-time anomaly due to over-guessed inventory? Most acquaintances of mine are surprised to hear this, they generally believe Porsches sell at or near MSRP.
I'm negotiating now for a 07 cayman s out of Atlanta.......The techart (17k) has a markup of 2k and approximately 6k in options.......Via our bartering they are willing to take 6k off the overall price..........I genuinely believe the "deal" has to do with your region, time of year, inventory on hand, etc..........Hope this helps........

We relish selling and servicing one of the most desired brand names in North America, Porsche. We welcome you and we hope you enjoy your visit - virtual or preferably, in person! We look forward to seeing you.
If you look at Cayman S Volume in Jul 06 at 446 units (same month as intro of base Cayman) and compare that to Feb 07 sales of 151 units that is a two thirds drop! Even if you exclude the Feb data that is signifigant. Some economic factors are in play on the negative side but Porsche will reduce volume to maintain price for its dealer network's profit margins. Remember also that our manual states that 2/3's of all Porsche's are still on the road and if there is too much supply of new cars the used market will drop and previous owners will be discouraged. It is simple supply and demand and Porsche will maintain price at all costs.
ocwaterguy don't be too quick to judge, go look a the March results - 598 Caymans sold! Up from February and up from March 06! If I were to extrapolate one month as a trend I would say Porsche has increased production and is hiring more factory workers. However, I'm not saying that, I'm simply saying sales rebounded quite well in March!

Thanks for the March 07 update. The year over year increase for all Caymans shows good continuing demand. It is interesting that the S is again outselling the 2.7. I wonder if it will continue in the coming months now that the 2.7 is widely available.
I don't know about you guys in the USA, but here in the Far East, seems that there is NO inventory and waiting lists are well into December. The figures are what has been delivered, not real sales. SALES are waitlisted to near eternity here.
The numbers are purely due to the deliverability power Porsche has. It is a actual number of allocated production. Not sales.
Well, whenever K-Man S updates the sales figures for April 07, I will be in that statistic...my dealer offered me what I call silly, crazy money for my 01 986 S, and I now have a Cayman S in my garage...this is the 10th Porsche that I've owned, and so far, I think it's the best of them all...

I'v updated the first post to include April 2007 sales. Interestingly enough identical numbers to January but a different spread. I would expect sales to fall in May as 2007's are no longer able to be ordered and people have to wait for 2008's.
Very interesting to me is that the new Cayenne had a full month of sales in April and the Cayenne S managed to sell 12 units LESS than the same time last year with the old model. It seems to me that while Cayenne sales had tanked that the new model only brought them back so far and will likely degrade from here. Given the current poor sales of the Boxster it would seem likely that we'll see a chang
Until
