it's becoming the norm for corvettes and bigger dealers to offer big discounts (15-20% off)...it kills the value of the car for current owners but it's great for those that have waited... That is one thing I like with the Porsche, the brand keeps a fairly tight grip on prices and what dealers can and can't do, so the value of the car doesn't over depreciate due to "pricing discounts".
If you think about it, why would anypone buy used when they can get new for the price of used (basically) unless that used car is also significantly discounted...only one guy gets hurt, and it's not GM lol

Yep I was looking then. I do want the Z07 package or at least the brakes. Unfortunately I wasn't in position to buy then. I'm hoping to find one sometime between July and October. I can continue to be patient. It'll be a fair weather/weekend car.

I guess you never read about the paint problems, panel issues, transmission problems, overheating, etc. And you tell me to keep it real ? I don't know how your mother let you skip daycare this morning Punk.

I will say that some have received exceptional cars that don't have problems and I am happy for the owners. However anyone paying almost $100K on a car should not expect some of these issues.
Obviously a guy who prefers to make assumptions. I know how to read, thank you very much.


Possibly it is you who should read more. Do so and you will learn that ALL new vehicles have issues, paint, transmisions, blah, blah.


My C6 and C7 Z06 were flawless, fantastic vehicles and a profound value whether never satisfied, nit pickers, like it or not. Lose the hate Dude.

Why? It's common for Porsche owners who track their cars to remove the cabon/ceramic brakes, keep them new on a shelf, and put them back on when selling the car. There's nothing wrong with them, but they're just too expensive a maintenance item for frequent track use. The rotors have a very short service life under hard use.

Porsche doesn't do it as often, I've owned 3 Porsches new since 2010, I never paid full price, the just don't advertise their discounts. I have a friend who got $15,000 off on a Panemera(ugly car). My opinion.

It will see a few track days. However I hear they really help with Brake dust. With black rims it very noticeable. I also really like the looks of the Z07 package. Will see what I end up with if the price is right.

Out of eleven 2017 911's that Porsche of West Houston has in stock, two of them are DEMO's with mileage. Guess what, only two of the eleven 911's are discounted below MSRP.

Want to venture a guess which of the eleven are the two DEMO's? Maybe the one that is discounted $13,315 and maybe the one that is discounted $4,533?

How come the remaining nine that are not DEMO's are not discounted?

Every 2017 Corvette(eleven of them with three of them being Z06's) that my local Chevrolet dealer has in stock is discounted, and none of them are DEMO's but brand new, right off the transporter from Bowling Green.

Flawless ? LMAO.
You either have very poor eyesight or very low expectations. Its non-critical owners like you that lets GM continue to skimp on quality.

Skimp on quality! Have you ever owned a Porsche? Lol! Talk about quality. Try owning one that just went off warranty. Nightmare! One top of $200 oil changes.

$200 oil changes where? is more than that at the stealership but they do put the correct quantity of oil.

My C6 Coupe and C7 Z06 were unquestionably the 2 best cars I have ever owned. I've had Porsches, Lexus, cadillacs, more cars than I can remember and the Vettes were fabulous.


We all know that nothing in the real world is ever perfect. Life is too short to worry or fixate on minute defects. You are just an obsessive troll.

In February of 2013 I walked into my local Porsche dealership and ordered a second model year 911S (991) with my exact specifications and got a 7% discount. This is not uncommon.
