I was ecstatic when my offer of almost $5000 off the dealer's asking price for my 2007 Cayman S was accepted within a minute. Could I have gotten it for a little less? Maybe, but I would have hated to lose this almost new Cayman S in Lapis Blue. 19,049 is what the odometer read when I cranked up the engine for the first time. I didn't even test drive it. I just wanted to take it home.
I believe there are many more bargains to be had. It's a buyers market and 2010 is the year '07s will be coming off leases. I track my Cayman's using AutoTrader.com. I do poke around other sites, but AT let's me keep 25 favorite cars and 10 saved searches. It tracks when I saved it, and with my naming convention, I track the original asking price.
This 2007 Cayman is currently listed at $29,990 in Cleveland. It's black with the Sand Beige interior. A great color combination. I've had it on my list since November 11, listing originally at $32,990. My car being an S, plus it's CPO warranty is worth IMHO at least $9000 more than this one. This car has 27,000 miles, mine 19,000. That's worth $1000 at least. The CPO warranty, at least $2000 and Cayman S vs. base, another $6,000. I'd offer $25,000 for this one if I were in that area and market. I also imagine that winter is also a good time for bargains in the colder weather states. Less so, here in southern California. It's a beautiful weekend here with temps in the low 80's. Almost hot, not bad for February.
$4500 off! Another heavily discounted Cayman. I've had this car on my list since September 21. Originally listed at $37,559, it's now going for $32,990. This car has 30,000 miles and it's in Florida. A car that has sat at the dealer for 5 months is begging to get sold.
This unusually high mileage Cayman S is a 2008 with 34,800 miles. It was first listed November 3 at $39,995. It's now $35,995. It's an awesome price for a 2 year old Cayman S, though it has the miles of 3 or 4 year old Porsche.
My target prices for used Caymans:2006 Cayman S - $30,000
2007 Cayman - $27,000
2007 Cayman S - $35,000
2008 Cayman - $33,000
2008 Cayman S - $41,000
2009 Cayman - $42,000
2009 Cayman S - $52,000
WOW and WOW! What kind of smooth talk did you do to get that great deal? Or is the brand getting a mark-down in general all around dealerships?

Those a very reasonable prices for a Porsche. For a high-performance sports car, its quite a steal. Anyone who snagged that deal is very, very lucky.
