Wow… I’ve never won anything in the lottery sense, but my (admittedly low-optioned) MSRP $64k base 718 really was a win!

Got this email this morning. Higher prices have kicked in. A year ago this same car would've listed for the low $70s (k).

I remember when I was a kid and my Father bought a brand new 1985 Carrera Cab off the showroom for $35K…. 🤯

 

[faheezy]

porsche isn't fun anymore. I'm really glad I got my base 718, I'll probably drive this car as long as I can with track days thrown in. I don't think i'll ever buy another porsche, the value just isn't there.

Prices are up officially. For the CGTS it was $99,700 and now it is $103,300. Basically 3.6%%.I was in my local dealer this morning and they confirmed the new pricing and indicated it is related to tariffs.

I am in the process of having one built, and the MSRP went from $118,475 to $122,685.

Mine went up $6K.

 

[AZ718GTS]

Mine went up $6K.

My 2017 Cayman S was $67,350 base. Today’s base price is 30.68% higher! Over 8 years that averages out to about 3.4% a year, which isn‘t too terrible but shows you the power of compounding even with relatively small numbers.

I was at my dealer this morning, having the CTM6 evaluated for a leaky axle boot. As usual, they're ordering an entire axle instead of a clamp.

Anyway, my SA saw me and soon I was hearing laments about the higher prices and a dearth of pre-owned inventory. While we were talking, the dealership's used car manager texted me, asking if I'd like to sell my Cayman.

As I later remarked to a friend, if I sold my Cayman, I'd just be looking for another, which would only cost me more. Just one morning, in one place, but it does feel like a shakeup in the market.

Glad I live in Canada, my CGTS arrives in late August…over 30k in options…. Total price all in 130k Cdn dollars. That is about 95k USD.

Inflation. Just like everyone else's price increases.

Yeah...sorry for the dumb question. I figured that's not what you meant.

A brand new CGTS for 95k US? That just doesn’t track (if you will pardon the expression). The base price in the US prior to the 3.6% increase was $ 99,700 US.

Base Cayman GTS 4.0 - Jul 11, 2025

with the current exchange rate $116,122 CDN (incl destination) is $84,861

just for the fun of it - I configured as my '23 - it would be cheaper today to order mine in Canada that what I paid for new '23 in US!
-there's additional fees that Canadian market has (tire recycle fee, a/c excise tax, luxury tax) and there's also GST and PST

Why doesn’t it track? They are quoting prices in Canada. Prices in the UK are similarly lower than the US. It goes some way to explain why Porsche has been able to absorb the tariffs as their margins are higher in the US then in Canada.

$0.7303 USD = $1.00 USD. $116112 CAD equals $84,804 CAD.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone in Canada. Buy a bunch of 718’s in Canada, put 500 miles on them a sell them to interested parties in the US as used cars. I guess Porsche wouldn’t like that!

I remember back in the early '00s when buying my new 'Benz, there was a disclosure I had to sign (with the US division of the company) about not selling it to the Canadian market - apparently something was going on back then - maybe Canada wasn't getting as many allocations back then - don't know what it was.

I have signed several non-export affirmations over the years. The last one for the '22 Spyder.

I believe the Trump tariff as of today is 30% and that would apply to used cars being sold in the US.

 

[bacid]

This exactly it. Interesting enough when I bought my CPO GTS last month I also was forced to sign the export declaration.

With the tariffs though it's killed the Canadian to USA export market which is great for us consumers. I wouldn't have been able to get my car for what I paid if the dealer had the option to export to USA.
