The price premium on Australian-delivered Porsches continues, but things are a changin'. As a result of the soaring Aussie dollar and market pressure, Porsche has now dropped the price of some models -- although we still pay nearly twice as much for a Porsche as a US buyer.
Porsche Australia says it cut the prices to remain competitive. They want to double sales here by 2020, which translates into 2500 vehicles.
The price cuts range from 7.5 per cent to 13 per cent on 911 sports cars, 5 per cent across the Boxster convertible and Cayman coupe ranges, and 10 per cent off every Cayenne SUV.
It means $5500 off the cheapest model, the Boxster convertible (down from $107,000 to $101,500). Significantly, the price cuts equate to some $36,300 discount on the current flagship of the 911 sports-car range, the Carrera 4 Cabriolet ($280,900 to $244,600).
The company has also trimmed the price of parts replaced during routine servicing by 25 per cent. Porsche price rises over the past five years have outpaced inflation. In the US, a base model Porsche Carrera 911 is $84,300. Here, the same car goes for $229,400, some of it accounted for in taxes.
