    Launch Car Options

    Anyone have an idea from their dealer on how the "launch" cars will work? Are they completely spec'd by PCNA or is there an oppty for you to pick color, PCCB, etc?

    Thanks!

    Re: Launch Car Options

    Completly speced out my launch vehicle on Jan.25th.Base price $129900US. Did not hear about LSD. Will try to add but doubtful if I can. See my Feb 16th posting on "Dealer accepts...." My dealer needed an immediate (almost) decision on specifications.

    I thought the base price was $122,900. Is this because of the tip?

    Re: Launch Car Options

    No, I ordered manual. The $129900US is the real new base price. My dealer assured me of this. The $122K was the old reg 995tt base price. I heard there was an increase coming and expested it. How often does Porsche give you all that additional HP and technology for free? Base price includes the nav.all leather int,TPMS, pwr seats,Bose etc. Extra cost options were PCCB,slate grey, chrono,heated seats.

    U.S. Base price $129,900?

    Hope your dealer is wrong, haven't seen a number that high reported anywhere - sure he's not including a little extra "gravy" for his dealership

    I was thinking the same thing because if I recall, the last base price of a standard 996TT was around $118K. Which makes the $123K a 4% increase. And there have been numerous posts regarding the $123K as the base price.


    Re: U.S. Base price $129,900?

    recent Porsche press release... "The basic Euro price for the 911 Turbo is 115,000 Euros. In Germany it is available for 133,603 Euros including value added tax and country-specific requirements. In the USA the 911 Turbo is priced at 122,900 Dollars (not including taxes), and will be available as from July 8, 2006."
    I guess your dealer just marked up your car 7k

    Would explain why the dealer was in such a hurry to close the deal!

    Re: Launch Car Options

    I believe that the 996tt base was approximately $119000.00, though I may be wrong. All the current lit. suggests that the 997tt is $122,900.00. Hope I'm right.

    Oh boy...seems your dealer just put 7000 bucks into his pocket.
    Base price for the 997 Turbo in the United States of America is 122900 US Dollar. The OFFICIAL Porsche Press Release is no "estimate" or outdated. 122900...this is the MSRP. Your dealer can tell you want he wants all day long...as soon as the brochures incl. price lists are available, he'll be busted. Unless you agreed to pay more.

    Re: Launch Car Options

    Thanks everyone for your help. Showed my dealer the press release and my price was adjusted to $122900US. Magic of www !!!

    What was his reaction when you showed him? Do you think he really knew the actual base price?
