Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm considering making the major leap to a new 997, wondering if anyone on this forum has gone through the purchase process recently? I test drove a Carrera S last week and was offered a deal at about $8K off sticker for a well loaded example. $102 and change sticker for $94 and change. Took almost no negotiation to get this offer, basically he said "I'll work out a smokin deal" I said, "Ok so what's the smokin deal?" Plus he'll find pretty much anything in the dealer network that matches what I want, just add a transport fee if he needs to bring it in from a distance. Are buyers getting 7 or 8% or more like 10% or more off sticker price these days? Thanks. Adam

POST 2Original post

Depending on the year (there are some great leftovers from '08 and '09 still available), you should be able to get as much as 15% off MSRP on a 997 if you're willing to take something other than a '10.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. The 09s up here go fast and you have to want what they have. Nice thing about a 10 is I can get exactly what I want, plus a few nice features added in the 2010 model. We'll see...I'm keeping my eye out for '08, '09 and 10s...

POST 4Original post

Take a look at Byer's Porsche in Columbus, Ohio. Last I checked, they had an '08 Cab in basalt black. There might be a pretty good deal to be had...

POST 5Original post

The new DFI engine got 40% less parts and no IMS, that alone worth way more than 15% savings on the older model. I would think twice.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
