Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
I would always be cautious about the claims of discounts on any 997 other than a C2/C2s...in the current market I do not see why the dealers would have any incentive to discount.
A lot of folks like to "crow" about the great deals they made, but I think it is mostly talk! Car dealers, particularly Porsche dealers are very aware of the market and seem to price accordingly.

Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
C4S,
I noticed your in LI also. I'm interested in where you ordered your 997TT where they would give you a discount. I ordered mine from Roslyn, which is close to where I live. My 03 X50 6sp. was discounted by $10K by Legend, BUT I do not feel the quality of service, expert advice, loaner cars, etc. were acceptable, so I switched to Roslyn (it could not be any worse). Ironically, Legend, had I ordered from them, was not offering a discount. Please PM me if your uncomfortable in responding in a public forum. TIA.

I totally Agree
Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
Hello,
If you are willing to drive a little, or have car delivered to you, you might want to try Michael Porsche, Family Porsche, and Rector Porsche. I am not affiliated with any of them. Did negotiate with all 3 when buying my 997 in 2005 and found them to be "willing partners."
They were all very nice about it.
When you call, it might help to know exactly what options you want, how much of a discount you are looking for, which month allocation you would like, and be ready to conclude the deal right there on the phone (and use this as a leverage). Hope this helps and please give feedback to the forum so we could follow your footstep!

Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
Hello "Devo,"
Very helpful info and you have got yourself a GREAT deal! I have not heard of a discount this big on a turbo so far. If I may ask please: This is a straight purchase/lease, there was NO trade-in involved? Also, I assume you are not married to the daughter of the dealership's owner or anything like that?
Thanks in advance.

122,900 is the MSRP before adding extra options. 128,120 is the MSRP after adding all the desired options.
Yes. BASE MSRP is 122,900.

Isnt' the MSRP priced at $122,900 USD without options in the US?
It is, but my MSRP was $128,120 with my options,+/- a couple of bucks. ????
huh??? i'm confused....
There is a difference between base price and the optioned one. Both are considered MSRP.

To clear the ambiguity. Yes, my discount was real and it was a purchase, not a lease. I was in a unique, advantageous situation which I do not believe will repeat itself anytime soon. Like anyone else, I worked it to my advantage to acquire the turbo with the heavy discount. I probably should not have posted it, but in my haste did so in repsonse to the initial inquiry. I would not expect to receive that type of discount in the near future. I would expect that many discounts will be available within 12-18 months, if production gets up to 6000 units annually.
Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
Ordered mine a few months ago and got a few % off MSRP...called a bunch of dealers and found more than one willing to discount. Just show that you are a serious buyer and do your leg work. Honestly though...IMHO it's not really worth the hassle when you are already spending this kind of cash.

I"ve called about 10 dealerships in calfornia and none of them offer a discount.
California is usually priced higher than the rest of the nation with the exception of Florida. My Dealer is sold out at MSRP well into 08. Why would you discount a car that will easily sell for MSRP for along time to come??

Exactly, who would discount. I am a vetran customer in Dallas and I am getting no discount. I am sure I could push for 1 or 2%, but, they'd just drop my trade in #...the price you have to pay for something new.
Now, I could maybe see a decent discount on a $160K TT, but, on a $128K? Wow, I am conpletely jealous.

Re: Anyone getting a discount in MSRP for turbo?
I would think that it would be tough to get a discount on the 997TT from many dealers, particularly those in Califronia. But I do think that the local economy has to be taken into consideration. That being said it wouldn't surprise me to learn that somebody could get a discount on the 997TT here in Michigan given the poor economic situation here. BTW, I've only seen one 997TT here on the roads and it was being driven by Roger Penske..
