718 Cayman & 718 Boxster main unit price has become cheaper
It's not about Japan.
As for the story in Australia, it seems that Porsche Australia has recently reduced the price of the Porsche 718 Cayman and Porsche 718 Boxster.
Below, the price is AUD (Australian dollar):
The base model 718 Cayman is currently "113,100 AUD (about 8.44 million yen)" in Australia, and the base model 718 Boxster is "115,900 AUD (about 8.65 million yen)".
These are said to be "2,900 AUD (about 220,000 yen)" lower than the previous price.
By the way, the price in Japan is (in PDK)
- 718 Cayman: 7,406,667 yen
- 718 Boxster: 7,803,889 yen
yeah? Is it a currency issue? Australia is expensive, isn't it?
I thought, for example, in Japan, the standard equipment tires of the base model 718 Cayman are 18 inch wheels, but in Australia, the standard equipment is 19 inches from the base model, so there is a difference in such standard equipment. There may be some others.
Price reduction of about 800,000 yen for 718 Cayman S and 718 Boxster S
Furthermore, the price drop of Cayman S and Boxster S seems to be larger, and the current price in Australia is "135,500 AUD (about 10.11 million yen)" for 718 Cayman S and "138,300 AUD (about 10.32 million yen) for 718 Boxster S". ) ”.
It seems that these prices are "10,700 AUD (about 800,000 yen)" lower than the original main unit price. That's a big price cut, isn't it?
By the way, the price in Japan is (in PDK)
- 718 Cayman S: 9,331,667 yen
- 718 Boxster S: 9,728,889 yen
Why did you suddenly cut the price? Is there a 6-cylinder model called 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0? Hmmm.
I thought, but the price reduction amount is about "400 AUD (about 30,000 yen)", but in fact it seems that the GTS 4.0 models have also decreased.
There seems to be no particular price change in Japan at this time (as of July 3, 2020).
For the time being, it was a move in Australia ^^
