There is now $10,000.00 in conquest $ on 22 SL55’s and 63’s for current Porsche, SL and AMG drivers. The 23’s are still arriving at dealers as the 23’s await pricing at the ports

Now that this thread has been resurrected, I’ll chime in. I was disappointed in the SL63. The big screen tacked onto the dash was out of place. The ride was too stiff and there was a good amount of tire and road noise. The power was certainly there and it handled pretty good for the weight. But to me, there is no question that the M8 is more comfortable and quiet while meeting or exceeding the power…for a lot less $.
I like my wife’s previous gen SL better than than the new one. |

I sat in one and even though they claimed to
Make it bigger I couldn’t fit. Too tall. Put seat all the way back to fit my legs and the back rest goes vertical. I liked the interior, didn’t get a chance to drive it but seems way overpriced. Concur M8 much better Crazy how I’ve never felt cramped in any 911 I’ve ever owned but this new SL same as old SL’s very tight

Sadly that 10k will conquest my desires. I stand by my thoughts on the car just not knowing what its trying to be/do.

Exactly. What is it trying to be. Lots of automakers come out stating their goal to make a 911 competitor and then deliver something completely different and not a 911 competitor at all

I guess if there was a stupendous fire sale I might try it but thats just not going to happen IMHO. If something doesnt know what its going to be or compete with, it better be priced correctly at the least. Quote:

yes i saw it ....
But there is more money than that as my good friend who is the GM at a local store also has earned stair step money on the car (15k) and is willing give me a 198k car for a 146k and I still cant see myself doing it. He will do triple net at 12% off (all his money) plus the 10k plus the 15k and some other side discounts thats gets over 51k. I can walk into a BMW center and get 10%, if not more, off a vert and that is the better car IMHO but I have a coupe. I just fear that this car is not good enough even with the huge discounts.

Interesting thread, as I thought they were going to stop making the SL.
I suspect that a number like this would make sense on a lease (which is typically based on MSRP, AFAIK) but yeah, like most of you folks, I'd pick the 8 series over the SL.

It actually doesnt because the MF is .00250 and the residual is shit... I mean its all relative but its over 2000 pre tax.

And while Ill continue to stand behind my thoughts that the SL is just not a car that can identify well in a segment... these 911 price bumps continue to make other options possibly more enticing albeit less of driving experience:
Its crazy than just 10 months ago my 2022 GTS base msrp was 136k and now its almost 152k with no material changes at all. My 173k all in car is now over 188k with the same build. Im slightly smiling LOL.

And the now the used market just got a kick up too... which is good for my GTS but sad for a probably buyer. Porsche is a mofo when it comes to higher production value maintaining cars (992s). Obviously Ferrari and a few other choice brands hold value too but its a rounding error in units sold compared to P cars.

Nah going to leave early tomorrow and find some trouble to get into before dropping car off at Ben's. It should be ready by the meet time Saturday... But who knows about these shops, hard to trust.

Yeah, can't wait to see some driving impressions for sure. At least they are doing a hybrid the right way. V12 with 3 electric motors. lol But something is pulling to me to own a naturally aspirated V12 before they are all dead..
