I am looking at a new Porsche 991 turbo s, but the dealer will not move on the price. The list price is £147K and the dealer is only giving me £2K off. Can anyone help, does anyone know of any dealers offering good discounts???

There's a lovely delivery mileage 991 turbo S at Porsche Hatfield in Aqua? Blue for £132k. 222 miles it says its done on window but it has a former keeper. Stunning car

There are about 30 used cars waiting in the classifieds, I would be lubing up a dealer to take a caining on one of them.

There was a stunning white Turbo S in Edinburgh OPC a few weeks back, to me it looked better than the GT3 in there also.

Depreciation on Turbos is significant.

Nice to order to spec, but I guess you could drop £20k+ as you drive out of the showroom in a Turbo 'S'.

Surely, hard bargaining on a 'pre-owned' has to be the best least worst bet financially?

Pre-Owned would be a great way to go.

had a sit in this one today. what's with all the unpainted plastic tat on the exterior ?

i think it's a rubber band to paint the tail in gloss black, why paint that and leave the rest ?

Indeed, if it is new at 147k and the 200 mile one owner car is 132k, thats fifteen thousand pounds to do 200 miles. I'd suggest you might want to consider a similarly priced alternative means of transport, such as Virgin Galactic perhaps. Oh, wait..

But that's the trouble with expensive cars. They are just so...expensive.

Its not £15k. The dealer will have a £10k mark up on that, so its more like £25k.

Thanks MTR, I stand corrected! So rounding down to £100 per mile then smile

If it was in stock he would be chucking in his mother - but ordered to your spec, he is much more likely to try it on.

Yes, and whilst the 997 has always been a hefty depreciator historically (I bought a 300mile 4 month old mint Tts 997 met black top spec from Porsche finance eary £90s trade), the 991 appears to be holding up relatively well so far.......yes

I had 997tt tip, paid 97k new on 2007, did 50k miles, sold it almost o 3 years to the day in 2010, for 60k, don't think it lost a lot after this time
