Thanks.

Regarding the price -- the numbers still do not add up -- I would ask your local dealer to provide a copy of the Invoice Sheet for the vehicle, as I truly don't believe he is giving you a price that is only $500 more than invoice.
I can give you some car and option invoice pricing (straight from my sheet) you can compare once you get the invoice sheet-
Base tiptronic car - 38,434
Colored wheel caps - 157
heated seats & steering - 442
auto climate control - 468
floor mats - 111
light comfort package - 519
Destination charge is either $810 or $895
For the other options try either this site or Kelley's to get the invoice price.
Do this before making any decision, as I still think you should/can get a better price.
I am concerned about your local dealer for service -- if they are being difficult now, I wonder how they will be when you need service on the car.
a dealer take off if they are lean and mean with their
inventory? 10-11% off doesn't sound too bad despite
the 06's rolling in. we're not talking toyota dealerships
here with large inventorys. anyway my car was made in
the factory yesterday. yippee!
How did you find out your car was made yesterday?
I think you ordered yours a week or so before me. I e mailed the dealer yesterday and he told me "it's getting closer", but gave me no secifics.
I need to sell my current car (BMW X5 4.4), so I'd really like more specific info if possible on build date and delivery.
Did they tell you how long until it arrives...When I ordered the car they told me mid-late Oct.
purchase contract was drawn up on 7/12. mrs billyg spoke
to our salesman the other day who said production on ours
would start 9/13 & i think be completed by 9-15 or 16 with
a delivery date to the dealer 2nd week in oct.
Looks like they are on the mark with late Oct. early Nov. estimate. Any regrets you did not wait to 07 given spypics which can be found on line.
an X5 01 3.0 that we bought up @ tulley. it's in for service
right now & in the papers for sale. 67,000 miles, absolutely
mint & not 1 inquiry yet for $26,000 and change. it's being
lowered next week.
Spy shots make car look pretty different , butusually Porsche doesn't change that much (evolutionary not revolutionary changes, as they say).
I'm planning on posting my X5 4.4 for sale this weekend. I have 85K miles and I was going to price it below market (probably low $20's) to get a quick sale. (It's also in great shaped, gargaged at home and at work, all service records, certified etc.). I haven't asked the guys in Nashua for a trade in number cause I figure I can do better on my own and my CS is still a month from delivery...but if it comes down to it...
MSRP $49.680 Price I paid $42.782 . That's about 13.8%off ($6898)
I had to work on them few days but it was worth it!
Thank you sooo much for all you guys help and advices, I couldn't have done it without this forum.
Glad to see you worked the dealer down on price -- also good you stayed local -- that will help make the service experience better.
I think that's a great price. Welcome to the club!

K miles would be 68-70K imo....
I went through the same analysis but I decided not to wait. The changes won't be that significant as Porsche changes are "evolutionary" not "revolutionary". The pics on auto spies I'll bet will prove really misleading and actually changes will be very subtle
. Also, there are good discounts to be had now, but when the refresh comes out, I'll bet that discounts will not be as good because lots of C owners coming off lease will be taking them. Lastly, Ilike the idea of getting a late model before the refresh because bugs have been worked out and there will (as usual) be little annoyances with a brand new model. (For e.g. the '03-04 Boxster looks really similar to the '05, but all the kinks were worked out, while the 05 Boxster has lots of little problems).
My car was special ordered in Sept. and arrived this week.
Got my car this weekend up in Nashua. Easy buying experience was followed by excellent and smooth pick-up. Kudos to those guys.
Looks and drives awesome.
Only a couple minor irks off the bat:
1. Seat belt chime. I wish I could disconnect the volume on this thing. (I don't mind the indicator). A wear the belt 99% of the time, but sometimes I don't click in the buckle (e.g. moving cars around in the driveway, or going literally around the block to neighbor's house). The constant beeping drives me crazy. (This is a change in the '06). Porsche should let us decide when to use the belt.
2. There is a rattle/squeak which seems to be coming from the interior headliner or moonroof. The sales guy thinks it may be from the roof transport system (I think I recall that you got that too?) and suggested that I take it off. I will try that, but I really like the way it looks and it seems to me that I should not be getting noise in the cabin from it (and that noise really does seem to be interior and not exterior noise (i.e. wide resistance).
How goes it for you?
My cay came with 18turbo wheels but I wanted 17"original wheel for my snow tires.
I got it from Ebay, 4 wheels with low low miles on tires for total of under $450 including the shipping cost. That was a great deal!
Don't think you can expect 13.8% off on a '06 CS. Poster who stated this price I recall was referring to base Cayenne, '05 which had been on the lot. Dealers seem to be willing to discount the base Cayennes more, probably because they are competing with the similarly powered VW on price. The CS is a whole different story.
After doing much research before (custom) ordering my CS, it seemed the best deals which could be had were in the 9-10% range for the CS.
I ordered mine from Porsche of Nashua (NH). Came in 2 weeks ago and it is absolutely awesome! (In terms of timing, I ordered it mid-August, the build was completed in Lepzig on 9/13, and it was delivered in the US about a month later.
Dealer was a pleasure to work with and it took us about 5 minutes to reach a deal when he realized I had done the research on this site. (This dealer sells a lot of cars out of state and they seem to want to increase their Cayenne sales, which lag the other model sales).
Good luck.
great to here the experience is grand so far! will be picking ours up tomorrow. boy i can tell you it was like ali/frazier in selling my X5 with 70,000 miles. the 4x4 market seemed to of fallen out of bed. anyway, was finally able to sell the X5 for 21 even after only 3 calls in a months span. oh, that didn't include the dealers who wanted 1500 upfront to sell it for me! say did you get that protective clear shield for the front? i opted for it since i'm getting black metalic.
Thanks.
Bill
The CS totally kicks [non-permissible content removed]...having lots of fun with it. After living with it for a few weeks, even though there are some things about it that are a little quirky (like 3 different clocks), I am enjoying much more than the X5, which is so sedate in comparison.
Didn't get the clear shield, but I did get the roof carrying system (not rails).
Roof squeak went away. (I think car had to settle a little).
Only 2 issues are: 1-- Ashtray doesn't slide in and out; and 2-- Seat belt warning chime is driving me nuts and dealer won't disconnect it. (I usually do wear the belt, but sometimes going around the corner, in driveway or garage I won't and the ringing is so annoying).
2 1/2 hrs. & the experience was 2nd to none. there were a couple of scratches in the clear coat & they got them out. the fellow who got them out was real nice & said he could zano our car if we wanted. it appears to me anyway that they have a good detailing dept & a basic detail only ran i think $189. a zano job would be more because it takes a lot longer. so get a load of this, the fellow that bought the X5, had taken the car to his cousin who works only on bmw's 1 daya fter picking up the car. the dash board light had gone on calling for a catalitic converter & sensor check. he's claiming she needs 2 cat's & 4 sensors. that comes to aprox 3 grand! anyway i told him to go to an authorized bmw dealer in his case chambers to get it checked. i inturn called foreign motors west just to double check & they said the work would be all covered (if she needed the work) all for the $50 deductable. oh boy, glad the car is still certified and transferable! i told him if work was needed that i'd pay the 50.
I may just take a ride up there.
Chambers told me today that they will service the car but they won't give me a porsche loaner because I did not buy it there.
especially when they said you get a car with a full tank of gas. sales manager said yesterday that he just received a notice that they are cutting back on all turbo productions effective emmediately. he said a new turbo order that he was inking for close to $130,000 would now cost this saudi arabian closer to $150,000
or something like that. he's a real nice guy...
