The middle class is shrinking , thanks to obama care which is taking a lot of disposable income from people that work , so their ability to spend on cars will be less.This does not help any luxury car company including porsche.

Well that escalated quickly

Um, not trying to be political, but I highly doubt the middle class is fueling new Porsche sales. Perhaps CPO sales. My family and friends are entirely middle class, no way in hell they would ever think about walking into a Porsche dealer to buy a new car.

Back to the topic, those R's look awesome. I've thought about picking up a used manual 15-16 S just to get a similar experience-- it's as close as I'll ever get!

i referenced all luxury car makers
it is simple math
10 years ago working people had health ins through their work
their contribution to their health care insurance cost was small , and their deductibles and copays were also small may be couple of thousands a year
same family, same work, same income , the cost now is close to 10 k a year
what that translates to : less disposable income of 600-700 dollars a month which will affect luxury car sales , so people are buying less luxury car.
I know that because i deal with patients every day and this what i am hearing multiple times every day, so you can believe it or not

Mr. Adair

Exactly. I asked my dealer principal why Porsche built twice as many RS's as GT3's (not sure if that is right but) and he said, they need the money and they are greedy…

Let's hope a Club Sport (with same mechanicals) gets announced after all 911R's are delivered.

I know Newport Beach did get a white w/green stripes today, but not sure if it was for sale or if they are asking over. I know the GM of that store very well & he does not sell over MSRP. They did sell quite a few 918's so I assume it was a customer car.

i pray that PAG make another 5000 RS
the more the better
lower the price so everyone can flog one.
limited edition, cars becoming garage furniture... gets boring fast

RealityGT

Mooty for PAG board chair!

Lodi

Thats a huge drop from $1M. Prices are tanking!

Bossing

And a phenomena will start (or grow!?)....

Yeah... you'd do this to your 911 R/RS too!

Maybe he does not sell over MSRP to you but to us J6P, Newport did ask over MSRP for their GT cars. The last 3 brand new GT4 I saw in their showroom all had $15k markup.

Not over? Isn't that the same dealer who has been asking 20 over for the Mexico blue spyder for the last 6 months? If you ask, they'll offer you a special deal of only 12 over.
