Another thing that I have noticed lately, at least in the west Tampa Bay area, is that the Porsche dealership has only 10 new cars in Inventory across Cayman,911, Cayenne versions total. The BMW side of the dealership only has a smattering of 535s/528s, a few 3 series, 1-2 X5s, no X6, 3 7s, and 1-2 ones, 1 m6, no m3/m5, 2 z4, and that's it.

I cannot accept the offer, so I am going elsewhere unless they can give me a fair trade in allowance.

Anybody else notice any similar expereiences lately? Any issues will little to no inventory elsewhere?
I know this isn't a classified post, but could you PM or post some pictures? My father has an Escalade lease up within the next month and may be interested in purchasing a range rover if the numbers are right. Thanks!


PS: I noticed the low inventory too, I've been to most of the dealers in my area and all seem to have little inventory. It seems their keeping it low so people like me don't come in to try and do 'em a favor and "move one off the lot." it seems they're leaving less room for us to bargain, but obviously car sales are down and no one wants to be stuck with the inventory.

Quick story, after hearing about Audi's "Summer of Audi" event (0 due at signing, low payments for nice cars/month), I went to the dealer to look at the Audi Q5. The promotion I read was for $0 due at signing $589/month, they had only one on the lot and the sales manager said "i dont know where you heard about those numbers, but i really don't need to make a deal on this car here, it will sell for full MSRP before the end of next week, if you put $4k down, plus fees, then maybe you'll get this payment to the mid 5's, why dont you take a look at this A4, its more within your budget."

Nonetheless, i was very insulted and walked out. I got a similar story from Lexus. I'm not sure whats going on, it's supposed to be a very good time to buy.
