New 981 Cayman discounts and lead times?

[sootyvrs]

Thinking about getting back into a Porsche Cayman either 2.7 or S after a year selling my Cayman R.

Been for a test drives in both and although the 3.4S was faster and more flexible engine, the 2.7 was still great fun on the road... I'm wanting this to be my only car so wanting a bit less hardcore than before the previous R.

My dealer has told me that if I order one now, it will be March before delivery and also that they don't give discounts on new Porsches!

Does anyone know anyone willing to do good deals on them or is it a case of full price the only option? They have also told me that it's a £3k deposit which I forgot to ask if it was refundable.

I do have a p/x but they said it would have to be valued in March which also leads to a big unknown of how much equity I will have as deposit

I assume the qtr end is the usual Dec, Mar, Jun, Sep...

Thanks for that... I guess I can wait although I have seen a pre registered one (14 plate) that I like the spec of but the ticket price is only £1.8k less than a new one and seeing that Porsche are currently giving £1.5k deposit contribution seems not a good deal at all... Might see if they are willing to discount on that one...
