| Message: | | I know of several people getting that discount here as well. Despite what Porsche and other devout followers are preaching, sales for the Cayman S was not quite up to expectations. Just look at dealer inventories and the early release of the non "S" model. 25-30 un-sold cars in one dealership alone here in the NE. My belief of the problem was Porsche's arbitrary pricing which I have explained at nausium on this board. The car is a phenominal car and I will own one. But I am waiting for a $7-8K discount which in my mind will bring the car to it's proper MSRP. While my dealer tells me that would be their entire mark up on the car, I'm sure Porsche will start providing dealer incentives to help move these cars. Hey, I'm not knocking the Porsche nor the car. It was a business decision that didn't work. But being ready to buy a car optioned out to $82K, last thing I want to see is residual prices plummet, or someone else driving the same looking car for half price. You would think at that level, it should buy you some exclusivity. But your strategy of leasing is the best way to go right now. Let someone else take the hit on residual value. And with a discount of $6K under a lease, it's the way to go. I on the other hand, always believed I will keep these cars forever like my 71 911S and 68 E-type. Unfortunately, with all the new electronics and computer boxes for drivetrain, power options, and accessories, it becomes extremely expensive, if not un-practical, to diagnois problems and fix it yourself. So buy the lease, drive it like you hate it under warranty, and give it back in 3 years and get a new one. Good luck!
