Folks -

I know that at an Offical Porsche Centre, the price of a new car is non-negotiable. Is the same true for used cars? Or would you expect to be able to negotiate the price of a used Porsche down a little?

Cheers,
Ian.

dont be silly everything is negotiable, I got my 996 down from 49k to 43k when i bought it last year.

if you just ask outright you will get a no, if you find some similar cars in Top Marques for less, then do the old - like this one, right colours, got the money to move forward....but this one is very similar but XXXX less. Tell you what to save me the bother of going to look at it, and to give you the sale, do the price and we have a deal, cheque book comes out, how much do you need as a deposit.

IT normally works.

I've been keeping an eye on used 993tt prices through the official Porsche website each day. They have just slashed the prices of two examples from £64850 to £59k. They've been on the forecourt a few weeks, so they're probably itching to shift them now. Just goes to show, it's worth looking around or asking for that discount before jumping in.

When I bought my last Porsche (very nearly new) there was no negotiation on its price - but the value of the trade in car went up a bit!

As with all negotiation you need to look for ways that the other guy can give you something - lets him 'save face' or 'look good' or whatever during the deal but gets you something of worth.

By the way. There is no harm in asking any sales guy how you can do him a favour (means of payment etc) which could help maximise his commission - and what you could have in return.

Thanks all. I'm not in a position to buy just yet, I'm just trying to work out my budget. (Which, although high by my standards, is very low by Porsche standards!)
