I'll take a shot at a couple of your options, but before I do, I'll add my opinion that Porsche will NOT substantially increase the price of the Turbo for 2008, DSG or not. I have been called by my dealer asking if I would like to upgrade (I have a C2S Cab) Turns out that the demand here in the DC/Baltimore area is strong, but not way above demand. And, from what my dealer ... Read More...

I haven't seen ALG's residual values for the 2007 Porsche 911, but I have seen something better, Porsche Credit's residual values for it. If you were to lease a 2007 Porsche 911 C2 Coupe with Tiptronic through Porsche Credit right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its residual value should be 60%. The residual value for an otherwise identical 48 month ... Read More...

Hey Christina. Yes, Porsche Credit's buy rate lease money factor is the same for 2007 and 2006 models (it's the .00310 that you mentioned). The dealers that you spoke with are probably trying to take advantage of the fact that consumers would rather have a 2007 model than a 2006 model and the fact that the '07s have higher residual values right now by marking up Porsche ...

Question on Warrenty and Price

Written by: ssaayy10 on Oct 18, 2006 06:31 PM

I'm not an avid Porsche lover (getting there) I grew up in Michigan where my Dad worked for Daimler/Chrysler for 41 years and needless to say I've always owned American made cars and have had nothing against them. I've come here for some advise, my best friend wants to buy 2007 911. I'm trying and succeeding to an extent to get him to look at some used ones, 2005 in particular. ... Read More...

The wikopedia link from habitat does a decent job of explaining DSG. You can also check out Audi's website. The big difference between SMG's and DSG's from "semi"-automatics like the Tiptronic, BMW's Steptronic and Mercedes Manu-matics is that the SMG's/DSG's are a hybrid manual transmission with an electonically operated clutch and shifter. There is no ... Read More...

Me, I'll probably go to the grave with a clutch pedal in my coffin and stick shift in my hand. Amen. I will never get a DSG in a sports car. There's no "probably" about it. It will be interesting to see how many Porsches are sold with DSG since Porsche is unequivocally the stronghold for the manual transmission. I can't wait to get this over with. Read More...

Not to interject, but I looked into DSG (direct shift gearbox) a bit, and found a decent explanation at: Wikopedia. A friend of mine who is a serious Porsche enthusaist (visits the factory annually) has echoed what spiritinthesky said. Namely, that Porsche DSG will be far superior to the automatic torque converter equiped Tiptronic, in terms of all around performance, ... Read More...

slickoko: I would not get your hopes up that you will find an unsold Turbo in time for you to pick up in November at the factory. Mine, which I ordered in July, is now looking like it will come in in mid October instead of mid september as originally planned. As someone pointed out, Porsche is cutting back production in anticipation of a US recession. Something else ... Read More...

I'm not sure how Porsche's distribution system differs from the other manufacturers cuch as BMW, Mercedes and Acura. but on a couple of your points: "The guys who have the biggest allocations have the best selection and they have a leg up on their competition." Not necessarily. Personally, I'm inclined to (and did) purchase from a relatively smaller dealership ... Read More...
