2009 997.2 vs 991
#16
wjohnson: Could you please share the terms of your lease deal please: term, mileage, payment and anything down? I saw a 2011 GTS with about 1000 miles on it that the dealer claims he can lease at the terms of new vehicle's lease. He is currently too high and I just want to see where I should be to make it fair for both of us. Thanks!
Just leased a GTS as Porsche is working to setup todays buyers on strong 18 or 24 month leases so that they will be primed for 991 release.
Although, my intentions are to keep my GTS long-term, so I'm also considering purchasing the lease from Porsche. I can actually reduce my payment significantly, but have to decide whether it's my 'keeper' (which is how I explained it to my wife to get her to agree ).
I know the 991 will be good enough to eventually sway me to look & consider (the new ones almost always are), but I do LOVE my GTS and absolutely not interested in waiting for the 991 release and then the initial low supply issues are long-time Porsche owners work through their initial cars.
I also see a decent inventory at my local P-dealers (Dallas). From my perspective, there's a lot to choose from and they are being relatively aggressive in moving them.
So, to make a short answer long: DON'T WAIT! GET ONE NOW!

NYCEnglish: Would you please share your deal as to the discount from MSRP that you got (either percentage or actual dollars)? Thanks!
I wouldn't wait, in fact I didn't and just bought a 2011 C2S! I got a great discount and considering I'll have this car probably 9-12 months earlier than being able to get my hands on a 991 (and at a significant cost differential) I saw no point in waiting.
I'll have this car for maybe 2 years and see how the 991 plays out. Let them get any early bugs out of the way, let the "must have it" crowd subside, let the dealer mark ups go away, and then I'll be ready to buy.
