Porsche + audi buying advice

Postby Orangebubble on Sat Jun 27, 2009 9:51 pm

Im considering buying a PDK 911 S vs Audi S5. Ive only been down to the Audi showroom to take a look at the A5 which is very similar to the S5 and Ive pick up a catalogue. Salesmen were shit btw, but thats typical car dealerships in Dubai, "if you dont like it, just leave" attitude. For the 911 PDK S, Ive gone to the Porsche Dubai website and made out a car with all the options, but I want to check them first with the dealership, does anyone know if the price on the Porsche Dubai website match those at the dealership? And how are the salesmen at the Dubai dealership? Do they give discounts off final prices here for luxury/sports car? When I bought my first car back in early 2008 the guys basicly said no discount.

Thanks for any help and advice.

The price on the Porsche website is very accurate! You can basically print it out. I doubt you'll get any discounts, but maybe the waiting period is more reasonable now.

If I was to choose between the two, I would definitely go with the 911. Great ride, good brand value, great resale. The Audis normally fail on the resale side.

What are the typical order times for the carrera s? I remember about a year ago the delivery times for a turbo was something just under one year at one point.

I think the time should be 4-6 months..unless you find a one that someone ordered but does not want to take delivery of - in that case you need to settle with the options/colour of whats available.
