withers Posted 20February, 2013 Report Share Posted 20February, 2013 Interesting how those articles highlight that in Aus we only get the higher spec models! Or is that BS? If you could buy a cheaper version of a new 991 that didn't have leather seats and all the other electric gizmos for far less $$$ would you be interested in buying one? I'd certainly go for a 981 if they came in a more vanilla form... for like SLK200 type money ie $85 - 90k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the differences between say AU and US spec cars is minute....... I would be happier to pay for the car as per US based pricing and as per US based option pricing! All of our options are nearly twice the price of the US. My car has $33K options (from memory) which in the US would struggle to get to $15K. Main differences they get manual seats, base radio etc. Noone in the US takes a car without the option to upgrade their seats etc. This premium package or whatever they call it over there is something like $3K for the equivalent would be $8K. Dont quote me on figures its all from memory but the differences are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMERRERA Posted 20February, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2013 I'd have the same "cardboard box and a steering wheel" that the Porsche executive referring to that they send to the US too. I don't mind if I pay the same price!!!!...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 20February, 2013 Report Share Posted 20February, 2013 But you cant have the hoi polloi driving new 911s. The cars are meant to exclusive and expensive as per past advertisements. Fat cats like to have their arses warmed electrically , etc. $335k is drug money, for what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC9911 Posted 21February, 2013 Report Share Posted 21February, 2013 991 4S For an eye watering $335,000 Ouch...!!!! Nice car, by the way the floor mats are included. Re the question of money, anyone tried to drive money through a really twisty road, or enjoyed the exhaust note of a $50 note in your wallet compared to the sports exhaust of a 991. It's all relative, if it was all about the money we would all be driving (may I rot in hell) Camrys!!! We buy what we can afford, the love of Porsche, it's about the car not the money.

BMERRERA Posted 21February, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 21February, 2013 ......within reason of course, especially when you see something priced sort of unreasonable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au-yt Posted 16October, 2014 Report Share Posted 16October, 2014 I have commented on this sort of discussion in the past and basically told ....its just marketing. Porsche I have heard myth or not dictate the price and for the various countries and for Australia, from my rough calculations it 100k profit after taxes if you use a similar UK spec car.. I think if you are buying a new Lambo Aventador the price is close double what the yanks pay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 17October, 2014 Report Share Posted 17October, 2014 As long as people are willing to pay, there's no need for them to reduce the price. If no one bought a new Porsche for a year... I'll bet the prices would move then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
