If it didn't sell at 137k, in sure you could still negotiate that price or better.

Given the number of unsold 991s, I'm sure they will entertain offers...
If they have new unsold 991's they really do have a problem. laugh

The 992 has indeed jumped in price - when I started dreaming of a new 911 a few years ago I thought it might cost £100k, it wound up costing £119k for a very lightly specced Carrera S. The thing is EVERYTHING has jumped up significantly. Remember when you could buy a new McLaren for £140k? Or a Vantage for £120k? These days it’s £82k for an M3!!!
£72k for a Hyundai!

In 2021 and 2022 Hyundai Pallisade's and Kia Telluride's were selling here for $10-15k over MSRP. Those buyers are trying to trade them in now....

Romans customer base would probably buy it for the nanny on a whim.

Another jump in 911s this week, plus large increases in Taycans and Cayennes. Currently the highest totals of 911s, Macans and Cayenne since I started tracking these numbers 6 months ago...

Interesting regarding 911, given there's a new model being released this year, which will be more expensive but not necessarily much better.

Unless they really put the 4.0 NA in it. But then, it would make the current lot even less desirable.

Is this an issue with pricing? I reckon is pricing+finance costs + new model incoming and the economic mood isn't great.

thanks tescor. numbers starting to rise again now. taycan will start going up again i think, as dealers have started taking delivery of the new one over past couple of weeks. also can see big rise in macan soon as eu stop sales and stock diverted to uk and other markets.

not sure what they are going to do with all these 911's. some have been for sale for between 6- 8 months, if not longer with no takers.
do opc's really think people are suddenly going to start buying them?!

Still puzzled about the Taycan figures:

761 just before Christmas
135 today

526 sold (not including cars built and sold to order)

I was thinking the same. Surely someone on the inside can shed some light on these numbers?

I was in my local Land Rover dealer a few weeks ago, and the number of cars they had "in the back" was astonishing. Many of them registered on 23 or 73 plates, but not for sale and only one owner (presume the dealer). Many of these cars are no longer the latest model, so not sure why they are hanging on to them.

I should add that the dealer still didn't have a courtesy car for me, so they aren't using them for that.

The big drop in Taycans happened in the last week of December (-174) and the last week of March (-159), so I assume some sort of shuffling of cars to make the quarter end figures look good? scratchchin

Tewkesbury has got 8 Taycans on the Porsche approved site. Just been there.
Where are you getting your figures (which say 2)?

Website shows 2 new vehicles and 8 used (which includes pre-reg).

Interesting indeed.

So what has to change to make these numbers make sense ?

How far ahead will OPC's have committed to stock ?

How soon will Porsche themselves see the effect of this market over-supply and how might they deal with it ?
