well... we shall see. Realistically speaking and given current conditions. What would a fair to good price be on a new 2009 C2S with MSRP of $100k?
I realize dealers need to make a profit but don't need to overpay either!
Thanks

I bought my 09 C2S Cabrolet 3 weeks ago. Sticker was almost $109K, paid about 87K.

I bought a 2009 C4S 6 weeks ago, $112k sticker, paid $89.5k

Good for you, you've made a great decision. Enjoy it in good health and drive it like you stold it.

Jimjoe; did you get the C4S with PDK or standard. I think I fall in the same category as most; would never have considered anything but a stick... until I tried the PDK. I'm still not 100% sold on the PDK, but it certainly got my attention!
The launch feature in PDK with a 4S must be even more "gripping" (pun intended!)

Curious - when you guys say "bought" - do you mean paid cash, or do you mean leased or financed through PCNA?

I don't mean to pry - but I'm just sayin' - when financing schemes are in play the stated "purchase price" may become relevant only to the extent that the number has the effect of putting a smile on the customer's face.

purrybonker, I "bought" the car with my own financing (not PCNA). It would have cost $10k more if I had used the Porsche 1.9% financing. I didn't trade anything, so this was a clean purchase, not confused by trade-in value (I couldn't part with my E46 M3... now I don't know what to do with it!).

CtrUSA, yes, this is a PDK car. Like you, I never would have thought I would like it. But when I test drove a sample, I was blown away. It's great, but it is different. You lose some things, but you gain some things. I am glad I have it - in some ways, I need it because I now have so many doo-dads to look at and fiddle with (bluetooth, nav, ipod, sat, tire pressures, etc) and the 911 is unfamiliar to me, so I am happy to have the computer shift for me. It's especially nice when accelerating hard, because there is so much power you don't spend much time in any one gear. I tend to leave it in sport mode most of the time, but I am not out of the break-in period yet so I don't know if I will do things differently once I can more fully explore the upper rpm range.

Thanks for all the responses.
One last question before I head out this PM. What kind of purchase price difference would be expected with a 2010 - $8k-$10k?
I'd rather get a good deal on a 2009, but the number of vehicles is more limited and the '11 starts rolling out in about 6mths, so there needs to be a sizable difference.

so, did you buy one today?

Don't ask me... I paid $100k for a 2008 C2S with a MSRP of $100k. Then the economy collapsed.

Macster

Asking these questions just before you head out this evening tells me you are not ready to buy. You haven't completed all your homework yet.

Sincerely,

Macster.

He's buying it tomorrow.

I got almost 15 % off for a '09 C4S a month ago. If it is a launch car you should try to get atleast 20% off. Have your finances in place shoot for a figure in mind and walk off if there are not willing to budge. Unless ofcourse you really like that particular car.

CtrUSA

Assumptions were correct. I didn't buy it yesterday. I ran out of day so it will be monday. Still the deal is worked out and it is right at 17% off MSRP (on 2009). Can't justify the price of a 2010 on the lot vs ordering exactly what I want.
I'll report once I have the keys!

I'm thinking low $80Ks? I know the deals have changed since very few new 2009s are still around, but I got mine for $91K with a $111K MSRP about 2 months ago. I'm self-employed and leased it through Porsche Credit with a money factor around 4%. No regrets!

Oh --- Just saw your above post, and 17% off MSRP sounds like a great deal. Enjoy it!
