This is the thread I have been waiting for. As long as you have taken a hard look at the options you have at this price point and know this is the vehicle you want, I donāt see how youāll be able to get a better deal on a 992
Are you sure about this? I personally love 911s, but unless itās a Turbo S, GT3 RS, or a GT2 RSā¦I am not excited by a base C2S. Read up the specs carefully, it doesnāt offer much.
At this price point, the Aston Martin Vantage is the way to go or an M8 Competition Coupe/Gran Coupe.
What about a 2017 570s or a Vantage. They would all be within this range, just options, no clue what you want. Before you do anything though, get it checked out by @fredyge94 heās our exotic guy, works at Manhattan motor cars, canāt really comment on anything that costs more than my entire net worth, soā¦
I have a 750 which has seen the shop too many times to make me want to give BMW anymore money. Last visit, it was in there for over 30 days.
They should have clearly lemonād it but since I have 9 months left, those idiots want the money. It wouldnāt pay to get my lawyer involved so BMW is a no go.
Regarding an Aston, I know theyāre giving crazy deals. Just think the reliability of a Porsche is unbeatable.
Having had a C4S, GT3 and turbo s, anything beyond a C2S is just to have the āgreater modelā.
Truth is, the speed is minimally noticeable and for $100k more, not really worth it IMO.
The C2S would be a daily that I could have fun w rather than a C4S which is more surgical precision rather than being able to throw the tail out wheneverā¦
I think you have thought this out thoroughly and have a lot of experience. I would do it. I agree leasing is the way to go. Worry free ownership. Lower taxes. Daily Driver.
Point I was trying to make was that everything above a C2S or a C4S (for bad weather) is really just a flex. These cars are plenty good and fast even at the base level. A naturally aspirated GT3 engine is fine but not that big a deal tbh in terms of straight acceleration. And the lack of insulation will make you hear all the rocks hitting the undercarriage. It will be slightly better on the track, but thatās not my intention on this deal.
The turbo S is an insane car, I know itās capabilities, but is it truly worth almost double per month compared to this deal so you can 0-60 in 2.7 vs 3.3? Again, not my intention for a daily that I would like to beat on.
He is looking for a daily car. 911 is better than the Aston. Aston CPO leases can be much cheaper but there is no better daily driver than a 911 base, S, GTS and turbo models of the 911
A 10% discount at base MF (with minimal doc fees) is pretty dang good on a new 911.
Only way you might get a tad better is waiting until the fall when the 21ās come out, at which point you can usually find slightly steeper discounts on the leftover 20ās. But who knows what the residuals and MF will be.
As with any Porsche lease you will always get the āyou can get this other brand X car for cheaperā comments. All else being equal Iād take a new 992 over an AM any day, but Iām a Porsche guy (have leased/owned several). Go for it
I understand the logic but he might get 12 or 13% at best but the residuals will drop by then. Also at that point you might not get the right inventory as it will be left over cars. and Porsche manages the inventory so well that the new models wonāt be in unless itās very few leftovers in stock. Porsche is very conscious of the residual value. They donāt want people to get the feeling that they are buying a cheap product. thereās a reason why you donāt see 50-60,000 discounts on Porsche like you see on Aston Martin
