Default 24 incoming GT3s available!

Thought I'd pass this along. I was in LA on business today and stopped into Beverly Hills Porsche to see if they had any GT3s on the lot that I could look at. They did have a red one and it looked amazing. I got to talking to the sales rep and he showed me his inventory screen- 24 incoming GT3s in the next few months- none are sold. It's too late to build a car, these are all locked. If interested call Onnig Ekizian at (626) 557- 2472. A solid guy who knows his cars. No markup over MSRP. The largest dealer on the west coast

How does a dealer have 24 cars incoming with no names attached to them? What a shame that people couldn't spec them to their liking.

We just had a thread last week about BHP having 17 available on the website but someone stated that they were told by BHP they were all pre-sold?

I guarantee...there is NO WAY that BH has 24 incoming cars. Maybe they were looking at a screen showing ALL incoming cars to all CA dealers??? Also, there is no person by that name working at BH Porsche (to my knowledge). Something fishy here....

The red one you saw today was mine. They did a courtesy delivery for me from an east coast dealer. It is true they have 30 incoming ranging in color from dark blue metallic to yellow to red to black and metallic white. Going to pick mine up hopefully soon. Paperwork with out of state dealer and own financing took longer than expected.

Maybe the premium over MSRP Beverly Hills wanted was too high and they ended up having to spec the builds themselves. When I called them earlier this year, they said they'd be happy to order a GT3 for me at 20k over sticker. Not sure what they are asking for on the 24 reportedly coming in, but in their local market they'd probably be able to move them all at a premium.

Yep, it does seem hard to believe.

Default Bogus GT3 post

You are all correct, BHP does not have anywhere near 23 GT3's open and unsold! I am the fleet manager for BHP and we maybe have like 7 incoming cars (end of January/February) that are meant for our showroom floor! We would like to have several in stock for our local clientele to see touch and drive instead of all of them being sold ahead of time. If we are lucky enough to have an incoming car that matches what you are looking for AND you live in California I would be happy to talk with you further about securing one for yourself. Porsche USA frowns upon us selling these specialty cars outside of our market. Thank you and Happy Holidays to y'all

guys it's not BS. due to the fact that they do such high volume they get big allotment of cars. I sat right at his desk and we went into the Porsche vehicle management system, checked on the gt3 box and ran the search. These are cars coming to the Beverly Hills dealership only. I agree it's too bad someone could have not have ordered them to their liking but so it goes. I know its hard to find a car these days and there have been guys posting in this forum asking for where they can find one. I thought this was great information to pass along. I have no interest here as I have a car on order from another dealership.
