Bought or Leased?

Bought or Leased?
Did you buy or lease? I feel these are cars to be owned, not leased. I love the fact that I actually own it and can also modify / do what I please with it. I also would not have got over 20% off sticker on a lease and even if I did, it would be a wasted effort, since Porsche gets the car back in the end.

Purchased.
Cash.
For me, I held off buying until I comfortably could pay cash. Could not in my head finance a toy, even if at 1.9%.
One good thing about the financial crisis was that these cars lost some value. THe timing was good. My only 'payment' is insurance.

I agree, I got a great price on a 2008 CS leftover in July. There were a lot of folks dumping late model 997s (with 500 to 5000 miles) this year and that drove the prices down on the new ones also.

What do you think is a realistic discount on a used 2005 when paying cash? For example at 44.000$ Carrera S 05, 40k mls?
With my last tries I couldnt haggle the price - my offers were always realistic in my opinion
I thought you can always haggle in the US..
So for my point, although I havent purchased, I will pay cash in the right 911 comes.

I also purchased, but financially I personally think purchasing cash right now is not necessarily the smartest thing to do. At 1.9% financing right now, I'm sure you can find better return on investment on a conservative mutual fund...but that's just my 0.02 cents.

I agree with you 100% that purchase is the way to go. I just wanted to add that if someone had the cash to purchase, they can still purchase the car through financing the 1.9% and putting better use to that $100,000+.
As the saying goes, "Make money work for you, instead of you working for money."

Cash. As posted earlier, payments can be a drag after the newness wears off.
I leased a car many years ago when I was younger and dumber and it was a nightmare. I believe if you have to lease a Porsche, you probably should look for something else.
