Default Good Dealers that will Negotiate

Anyone have any recommendations on dealers that are willing to give a competitive discount on the price on a 07 Boxster S?

Looking for specific color/options on an order, really. I'm in no hurry. I would also look at lot cars if the price is right, but would rather order.

I'm hearing from the forums that 12% is a "invoice" discount. So I'm thinking that a 10% discount would be a good place to start...

Thoughts?

Thanks!

If you live in Scottsdale then you are going to have to go out of state to get a good deal. There is only one Porsche dealer in the Phoenix area and they know it. Stevens Creeks and Fletcher Jones in the SF Bay area will usually give decent discounts.

That seems to be the message I'm getting. They move LOTS of cars and I don't think I can get the price I'm looking for...

You might also check in the snow belt states. They would be highly motivated to sell a Boxster in the winter.

Have heard of several people on the west coast buying here in the northeast and shipping. Should be able to get a good deal on boxsters this time of year. Check inventory on the web and see if anyone has what you're looking for on the lot.

Ziege, we're almost in the same boat though my car will be a special order because of color (don't ask!). Do any of you guys have any ideas or am I cooked?

You might try Rector Porsche in Burlingame, CA. (Just a little south of SF) Speak with Jennifer, she is very good to deal with and I got a good deal for my '06.

I would also be happy to help, send me what you are looking for, and I will put something together for you. SHipping to Scottsdale isnt hard.
