Confirmed: 3.5% Tariff on all new Porsche products through the end of 2025.

At the end of the day, Macan EV's are NOT selling like hotcakes, and Porsche is laying off ~4000 people over the next 4 years (per Porsche).

Federal credits are ending in less than 60 days. Dealers can take stand all they want, but the storm clouds are being anticipated - whether they tip their hand or otherwise.

I'm not saying that we should try to screw the dealers during this time, but you buying a car from them should be a win for both parties - and if my dealer told me that they will do me a favor and give me 1-2% discount on a $100k car, while hitting me with a lease money factor of .0035 (which is 8.5% APR), I'd walk on my order.

But we reached a figure and had a gentleman's handshake when I ordered, so it's moot.

In my opinion, both situations, cars "on the lot" or cars on a boat should be treated the same.

.0035-.00385 lease money factor coupled with 3-5% discount off MSRP makes solid and fair deal for the dealership and the customer.

In my decades of experience buying new cars and being on car forums I’ve developed a theory. The more you try to screw the dealer buying the car, the more they return the favour when you go to service it.

Porsche charges a base money factor of around 0.0035 for excellent credit customers (varies by month) so I don't think the dealer has a lot of room to negotiate on that part.
