We always had BMW’s, but always had an eye on Porsche (is that call cheating? lol)
We have a 2023 Porsche Panamera 4s Hybrid which is at local porsche dealer with 13K miles. It was listed at 114K on 8/9 now its reduced to 104K, Carfax says the car is about 9K below value. Is it a good deal to buy? they are dropping price every week by about 3K. Any suggestion if this is a good deal? if i can get them down to below 100k? its initially purchased on 10/22 so almost 2 years old.
It’s a good price relative to competitive listings in the US, about $4k below market in reality.
The problem with that car is the grey paint/beige interior/greenishyellowish brake calipers is…a specific taste? I have a feeling that car will sit for a long time as that isn’t a popular combo IMO
Make a offer and walk away, let it sit and go back make another offer. Cars like that (specially with that spec) dont move fast. Lowball them and let them call you. You can always work your way up, but never lower than your offer
They are not going to just keep dropping it 3k every week.
They likely are already losing money with a 10k reduction, most used cars don’t have a ton of margin.
Do you like the spec? Are you happy with the deal relative to comparable cars on the market? If so, try for a little more, but take the car if you want it. It sounds like you’re deal shopping and not car shopping.
well as a broker for you its easy to say deal and car shopping are different but, deal and car shopping are the same thing for most of us, thats why we are on this site. Hacking it all away
Sounds good, fair comment! i wasn’t aware the bad combo. I was just looking at the color, which i can deal with after i ceramic coat it. Green Calipers on the other hand i might need to find a way to color them different.
I’m not saying you can’t do both, but if you like the car, and the deal seems good, then act on it.
Why do you think they should go to below 100k? Are there multiple comparable cars on the market, within 100 miles, that are below 100k with similar mileage and options? Or do you just want it to be under 100k just because? I’m trying to give you practical advise.
Now, i love this comment thank you. Below 100K because of what i am seeing as true appraised value plus, also the 1st year depreciation is a whole lot, and its on their lot for almost 3 months. Which tells me there is no demand for this, and i am offering to take their liability off their lots, decreasing about 100K from their risks/books.
So basically what you’re saying is you want it under 100k because you just think the market is too high on them. Like I said, is there comparable cars on the market with similar options and mileage that are under 100k or not? If there is, you have a leg to stand on.
You’re making it sound like you’re doing the work of a saint by doing them the other worldly favor of purchasing a car. I promise you this attitude will not get you far in dealer negotiations. Again, it’s just advice, take it for what it is.
but, deal and car shopping are the same thing for most of us, thats why we are on this site. Hacking it all away
