Hi All,

I intend to special order a MY2010 Cayman S. The car will be heavily optioned (priced out around $85k). I would like to accept delivery as soon as the 2010's start arriving in September/October(?)

Based on the foregoing, when would be the best time to negotiate and get on contract with a dealer?

Thanks in advance.

I would start now since MY09 was a short run many people are waiting for a 2010. Also you will likely have to call a few dealers to see who is going to play ball at your specific price goal. Sounds like a pretty nice CS if you got it to $85k

It will be interesting to see what price differences there will be between 09 and 10 models and accessories.

I see that Toyota lowered the price of the 2010 Prius to match the Insight. Of course, the Insight is a direct competitor to the Prius.

Prices for 2010 models should be available in July?

According to a conversation I had with a PCNA employee at a recent event, the 2010 models will be here in December.

My dealer just told me that it will be a June build/ August delivery on the west coast.

Thanks. This past weekend my dealer indicated that he expects to get MY2010 allocations within the next month.

Same here. Just confirmed an order for a 2010 Cayman S (6 speed) for a June build / August delivery on the West Coast. Trouble is that the ordering system is not taking any options on the steering wheel -- can't get any variation of the sport steering wheel with the round airbag housing.

At 85K, I imagine that you got PDK . . . but if you didn't, can you tell me if you're having the same issues?

I am confused, which is a normal state ..... I thought the new Caymans which just arrived in the dealers as 2009 (regular Cayman with 6 speed manual rather than 5 and S with direct injection and the PDK transmissions) were the new models .... is there going to be a difference between these and in the 2010 in less than 6 months?

No difference. The 09s received all the "NEW" features but were a short production run and the only difference in the 2010 will likely be a price bump.

Just received word that my 2010 CS will be completed on June 2 and is scheduled for July delivery (California). Didn't realize that the 2010s would be coming off the line that early -- oh, well, at least it's a pleasant surprise.

I ordered custom paint and Im not telling anyone what it is till later but suffice to say I have never seen the colour ever, although I have seen something similar in HK.

As a result my order is pushed to 2010.
I also ordered sports steering wheel plus a LOT of options and ALL sport wheel variants are now obsolete! I cant figure that. I dont want the multifunction.
2010 price got booked on 2009 prices.
