Is it possible to get a discount on a new 992?
Discussion
I ordered mine in November for delivery end of March to beat the road tax increase. Of course I couldn't pick it up at the end of March so renegotiated during lockdown and got a revised deal which included a worthwhile discount. Stocks are short now so discount seems unlikely for the moment. Maybe I just got lucky.

Are you able to say what a worthwhile discount is ? It would be interesting to know if it is worth while or not ( in my book any decent is worthwhile m, but bigger ones means happy to work on them )Cheib said:
I’d say right now you’ve got bugger all chance. My OPC is visibly short of stock (used car lot was virtually empty when I was there on Monday)
I was thinking the same. But part of me thinks if I wait till supply becomes greater than demand over winter, then might the time to try for a discount. My OPC in Aberdeen looks so empty of 911 stock I drove there and did not even get out for a look as nothing worth viewing lolIt's very hard to predict, but I would imagine that it's in Porsche's interests to restrict supply rather than accept discounting in the short term.
Longer term the pound is going to continue to devalue and we'll have tariffs next year, so I would expect the prices to re-adjust upwards.
Plus Porsche may want to prevent arbitrage from other RHD markets with stronger currencies than Sterling and effectively higher prices for Porsche cars in their own market.

They’ve already done that. There were a lot of cars leaving for the RHD Asian markets a couple of years ago. Dealers were given a list of customers that were banned from a sales perspective about 18 months ago. They traced the UK cars that were for sale out there to the brokers etc that had ordered them in the UK.

I’ve been told that Porsche are again having problems with WLTP which is causing production problems. No Idea if that’s true could be OPC jackanory.
