There's gotta be a catch somewhere I bet. The car's isn't even in (incoming) and its on sale. Inventory must be VERY high to wanna turn it that quick. BTW, I didn't think the factory was shipping 2002s still, is it?
PCNA is probably just moving excess / unallocated inventory around. At that price, its about about 8K under invoice. So here's the math: $80K Sticker - 12.8K Mark up = $67.2 Invoice. Subtract about 7.4K in depreciation / lack of marketability for yellow and there's your price of $59.8. Rare of a dealer to offer up the depreciation on the price!
Someone should call.
I haven't Spoekn with anyone from the dealership because I'm not in the market for a new car. This is where I got my car and thought they were a great dealer. Had a great buying experience with them. I thought 20K off was worth bringing to everyones attention. Hope someone can take advantage of this
here is the story, just got off phone with the dealer.
they have 4 996 coupes coming, 3 red/blk, 1 SY/blk. all are sold as USED cars, but never titled. all got less than 10k on it. the red one's are MSRP 75430 selling at 59887. the catch is: THESE ARE CARS USED IN PORSCHE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
they also have two boxsters and 7 boxster S 2002's coming. Box msrp at 50k selling at 41k, box S msrp at 58k selling at 50k. these were press cars used by journalists.
OUCH! Wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole!
Kinda reminds me of BMW's M-School in South Carolina, where the first words out of the instructor's mouth were
"Remember, it's not your car, so don't worry!"
'Nuff said.

Super work John. I read on this very forum that each mile on the track is about equivalent to 4 miles of street driving in terms of usage on the car. If that estimate is anywhere being correct, then these cars are the equivalent of buying a 2002 with roughly 40K on the ole odo and they don't seem quite the bargain anymore.
I wouldn't touch one of these either. It seemed attractive before we had all the details. Any deal that seems too good to be true usually is.
Thought it was worth sharing anyway.
John, Who did you speak with over there, ERIK????
Except for the 6 speed and color, that's almost exactly what I got new, for your "new" quoted price! Except mine hadn't been driven a few thousand miles by folks who weren't gonna keep the car! I do want to go to the Driving Experience to see what I can really do with my auto. I'm too scared to try it in mine.....yet!!
What kind of warranty??
forgot whom i spoke with, but he was quick with the number and spec and sounded like he knew what he's talking about. it's not erik, i am pretty sure.
warranty: remainder of factory 4yr/50k.
I did PDE in Atlanta last year. I would not touch those cars either. They are definitely not run in according to the manual <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> , instructor told me that running in is half a day of laps by the instructors, somehow I doubt they stick to the 4,000 rpm limit.
The speed yellow C-2's at PDE are the instructor cars. Driven hard but not abused. The student C-2's are what you want to avoid. A lady in my class destroyed a clutch in two days.
My wife fried the clutch in an M5 at BMW's M School in about five minutes! We were doing a team relay competition, all using the same car, standing start, through some hairpins, around a wet skidpad, then through a slalom after which we would jump out, tag the next team member, then off they go.
As the smoke bellowed from the clutch, everyone on both teams held their stomachs and grimaced!
The "competition" was a riot. Our team went first, and by the time the second team got the car, it was pretty much toast. We won!!
