New 991s purchase

[mns1977]

So what do you all think I could achieve price wise on one of those ex-demo 991s that the OPCs now have? They seem to be 83k to 89k. Do you reckon it's worth starting with a big figure in the 7s?

It would be cash no finance.

[cayman-black]

Yes for sure!

[mns1977]

Oops thats not very clear on my part. Perhaps I should have said do u think they will do a deal in the 7s?

[franki68]

no

[khushy]

definitely - not many people around willing to drop c£80k cash on a new motor - I would start at <£75k and see what happened!

[MrTickle]

The black one at Leeds works out at £100K list, and for sale at £85K.

@£80K that would be a nice buy I reckon!

I got a mega deal from Leeds, speak to Roman.

Ex-demo 991, not run in, thrashed from cold, screwed by everyman and his dog. Possibly tracked or used at Silverstone etc etc.

Its well secondhand. About 50k?

I'll have a dozen - colour not important.

I'd bite the bullet (and did with my C2 Cab) and buy a new one. With your own spec, not thrashed by anyone and you can run it in carefully yourself. Whatever you decide you must buy one; they're fabulous. I've done 400 miles in mine in the 1st week! Happy days.

Maybe we need a new thread to find out how many people with engine failures had ex-demo cars?

[Robbo66]

997 GTS more expensive than 991S....!. £80k is where they should always have been....new.

Mine had 300 miles on it, don't give a flying..........it's under warentee.

This is my attitude too. If it's under warranty, who cares. How many years are you going to keep it?

[mollytherocker]

Put it this way, you can get an ex-demo pre-reg Punto circa 30% under list.

Why should a 991 be different?

If there was a long waiting list, then I would understand, but there is'nt. They are not selling.

Because in percentage terms the Porsche loses much less than a Punto.

20% off a £100K demo car I think is pretty fair.

Thanks for all your replies. Anyone know what kind of discount I would get off list for a brand new one (no trade in)? 5%?

Hmm, OPCs don't normally like giving any discount as such, they usually work around it by giving an 'over the odds' trade price on a swapper. Having no p/x makes that difficult, but in terms of 'over allowance' on a p/x I think you could even do better the 5% if you pushed hard.

My dad just bought a 991 S - 600 miles demo car, specced to over 100k .. 84k.. that was a cash deal, OPC were not interested in discounting any further.

Dont think that is a bad deal. Just shows where the true market values of these are.
