For loyal, long time buyers (from the same dealer), based on configuration, $1,000 to $2,000 off MSRP is possible.

My local dealer has had a Turbo on the lot for months, I do not see them flying off the lots by any means in New England.

Dealers must keep one S and one Turbo for demo.

"Must" is a rather strong word. The dealership I bought my turbo from only kept two S's on hand as demos. Another I looked at kept a turbo as demo but eventually sold that as well.

Most likely, this dealership chose to keep the turbo on hand as their demo because somebody on sight liked driving it enough to keep it instead of an S.

It is in the showroom, I went and looked at it, are you saying they wouldn't sell it? I do not understand your point? They sure as hell seemed like they wanted to sell it to me. By the way they do not have an "S", they sold those so that logic of keeping one S and one Turbo doesn't seem to be the case.

Hope that the dealer I found will work with me on ED Adventure
In North America Porsche charges back the insurance cost for the car while it's used in Europe to the dealer. Apparently this is about $2,000! Thus reduced availability for discounting.

The dealers need demos - given the demand for the car, ultimately they sell those too, requiring the need for a replacement demo. No matter what dealer, don't think you will see a lot of Macans languishing on the dealer lot anytime soon.

ED costs the dealer on the invoice of the car. It is thousands of dollars and is why if you are ordering a $60,000 Macan S for ED most dealers will tell you they don't have one.....even if they do..... They certainly will not be offering a discount as well as ED on the car.....

It's very sad. Last year I diid BMW ED and it was mind blowing experience. They really knows how to "put up the show" and create loyal customers.
Seems like Porsche does not really promoting that ED option. Still looking forward to see factory and museum of the very special company which managed sirvived for almost half a century building just one model of car. if that won't impress me my Alps Ski trip will. Thanks to Porsche for lending winter tires for 2 weeks for FREE

I just did Euro Delivery on my 911 Turbo, and in some ways you are right; it's not the big roll out process like at BMW. Your car is parked in a small delivery room along with the others that will be delivered that day. A friendly person will take you through all aspects of the car, like at BMW.

it is still a very wonderful experience and feels more personal in some ways. Sure, there isn't a discount, but picking up your car at Porsche is a special experience none the less.
