New Boxster 987
Discussion
It all depends a bit on your ownership horizon and whether or not the car(s) available are optioned to your liking...
Pricewise 11% sounds like a good starting point but it may interest you to know that in late 2008 there appeared to be an excess of new, unregistered Gen 1 Cayman S Sports in the UK dealer newtork and a number of people on here claimed that they were able to snap them up at 20% off MSRP as everyone else wanted the Gen 2 cars. 20% off seemed like a good deal to me, especially if you planned (or needed) to get out of one after 12 months or so as your 'haircut' would have been limited.
Present circumstances are not quite the same the next Boxster will most likely be that bit more expensive. Plus we don't yet know when they will start arriving in UK showrooms but you could imagine that when they do finally show up, 11% off may not be enough of an incentive to shift any remaining surplus of the run out model that is kicking around at that point.
What pricing could they offer you if you wanted to spec. one to order?
Part of me would love to spec. a brand new 987 Boxster (non-S) in Pozzi Blu paint-to-sample with a cocoa top with matching interior c/w folding carbon buckets and PCCB's.

Have you tried Porsche Silverstone? They had a 987S in platinum silver/black leather a few weeks back that had PDK I think and they were willing to deal on.
Thanks for that. It seems that these cars are around but the dealers are not allowed to advertise new cars so there is no easy way to see who has what.I will take a look.
