Hilarious.

So far none up in NorCal, though i haven't called Carlsen. Like you, I have not had a good experience with Carlsen so I don't even bother. I wonder why ppl go to them.

I agree. i want the bubble to pop. smart money sells into bubble and buys during panic... and i've got dry powder on sidelines waiting for the big sale.

Stevens creek is just as bad. I've got a deposit at Fremont, and I really like the people there, but I'm wondering if I need to reach out to other dealers if I actually want a car.

If you don't have a commission number at this point, and definitely want to buy a GT3, I'd strongly recommend finding an allocation now since this round of allocations seems to be rapidly evaporating-- and there is no guarantee there will be another round. While there will certainly be some cars in showrooms at the end of this year and beginning of next (for deals that fell through), you won't be able to spec the car the way you want.....AND a number of dealers will be charging premiums for them.

Once the general public realizes there are no more and people start seeing them they will bring over sticker. Plus I suspect some dealers have withheld allocations and ordered very loaded up cars for resale.

There are no more cars after this allocation until 991.2 GT3 likely in 2 years. That car might be turbo. If you want a car you might want to get it now!

Is there any evidence for any of this? Or is it speculation? Makes a huge difference for those who are on the fence about whether to pull the trigger and grab one from this batch of allocations.

I have bought 6 cars from Carlsen over the last few years including 3 GT3's & they have always been excellent. I heard they have an allocation of 10 2015's and they were not all sold as of a week ago.

really, you must be the exception. all their past GT3 customers left them.
adding the handful of EX customers, we must have over 100 cars from them.
i would never buy from them again. too many games.
and are you a real customer or a sales rep, just out of curiosity as i know just about every GT3 owner in the peninsula.
