California Porsche Car Dealers

thank you, that's a really good deal. I live in CA. Anyone know where I can get a similar deal in LA area. thanks...

I'm looking at leasing a new 09 Cayman and would appreciate an idea of current Nov 09 pricing by dealers for new Caymans, especially in So CA. Are they still discounting as heavily as earlier in the year?

Hi Carman: I thought I'd get a bargain by leasing a pre-owned 06 Cayman S. The Porsche dealer's quote for a 36 mo. 12K/yr lease was: Price $41.5K Cash Down $7.5K MF .00350 48% residual (on price) "bank fee" of $895 Pmt: $670+ tax Not good. Looks like they really don't want to lease pre-owned cars. I could get essentially the same pmt on a brand new 09' Cayman S with a little price haggling. Or a stock Cayman for $100/mo less and 50% less $$ down. I expected a lower MF reflecting the going loan rates and much a higher residual because its past the worst depreciation years and its a Porsche. With those lease variables, there's no way to get a price low enough to make up for the low residual and this work. Are my expectations unrealistic? It looks like I'll have to forget this as a bargain. (i inadvertently posted this on the 911 forum too.)

Hi. More on my hope to lease a pre-owned 07 Cayman S Porsche dealer's quote for a 36 mo. lease of a pre-owned '07 Cayman S: Price $41.5K Cash Down $7.5K MF .00350 48% residual (on price) "bank fee" of $895 Pmt: $670+ tax Not good. I could get essentially the same pmt on a brand new 09' Cayman S with a little price haggling. Or a stock Cayman for $100/mo less and 50% less $$ down.

It looks like the flat depreciation on late model used 911s should make for a great lease deal. The Porsche website doesn't say anything about pre-owned car leases except that they offer them on cars up to 5 yrs old. I haven't leased a car in about ten years and need a refresher on evaluating a deal. I've never leased a used car. I hope some one can refer me to an informative website and maybe provide the Porsche MF for a used 911. Is it a good idea to negotiate a lease via e-mail? The dealer seems resistant to discussing a used car lease and I'd like to go back fully prepared. BTW, the car is a Porsche-certified '05 911 Carrera (997?) with 50K miles . I still need to research maintenance costs that I might be exposed to.
