2024 Price Increase

I can't even guess what the price increase will be. I was just looking at Porsche 911 price increase (the online configurator now also includes Canadian lux tax) and a base 911 Carrera cabriolet with few options now costs the same as a fully loaded 3LZ HTC E-Ray or Z06 while those models compete with Turbo S and GT3 models. This tells me we will have more and more Porsche people switching to the C8.
 
I was going to buy a base 911 as my daily driver. Base price increased $9,500 plus freight increased $1,100 and dealers are charging as much as $1,850 for PDI (which used to be $995). Most are also mandating $25,000 in options to get an allocation. Add luxury tax to all of these increases too and you are closing in on $200k for a 379hp base. I’m out!
I put deposits back on C8 Stingray and an E-Ray yesterday. I still have a 911 (993) as a fun car, so I am ok with the wait. However, I suspect I’ll have a chance to buy a cancellation when one comes up.

$25,000 in options is insane, imagine if all of us where told that all C8s must be HTC, 3LT, Z51 and with optional wheels even if you only like the base 5 spokes, that would piss off half of the buyers pool
 
How does that saying go? You wanna play you gotta pay? 😅

The days of "economical" performance are perhaps behind us. And I'm surprised the '24 increase isn't $10K. They know there's a line up for the cars!

That’s exactly why I walked away from Porsche and ended up with the C8! I am so happy Porsche were being jerks!!
