You're better off buying brand new with 10-20K ADM and at least getting a new car for the same price (assuming same MSRP).
Perhaps, but if you want a car now then this is going to save many months of waiting (assuming that you already have an allocation) and as it is certified then it also has an extended warranty...

Yeah exactly. An almost $20k markup on a used GTS that you didn't get to spec is insane to me. There are used GT4's at smaller markups than that, that have been sitting for months.

Very fair point, but you could also end up spending less on a new car depending on how you spec. Hypothetically, 109 MSRP, 15K AMD still puts you about 5K less...
They still have that car, it has an ADM of $35k. It's a pretty car, but not sure the color is for me, the ADM is way more than I'm willing to pay and my ideal timing is late summer/early fall of 2022.
Was by the dealership the other day. Car sold for $35k over.
Quick update on my previous post… My CGTS 4.0 was on schedule for 06/22 delivery (deposit was placed 07/21)… just got an email today from my advisor informing me that he was able to move the timeline up. Car is entering production on Feb 4/22, with delivery in 04/22! This is in Vancouver, BC at MSRP.
I think part of my curse is I am an old non-adm allocation. They are probably motivated to close out on the newer adm ones, because they represent more immediate profit. My dealer is therefore dis-incentivized to move me to a nearer delivery date allocation. I’m not saying they are doing this, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Congrats on getting the car sooner. But even if your advisors last name was Porsche I doubt he could move up your production date. I am sure u dont care your getting the car sooner but I would be wary of what he tells you in the future
Just my 2 cents
You are correct flynlo it is illegal in Canada, it is covered in the various provincial customer protection laws.
Are you sure? I have looked and not found anything, and I would be very surprised if there was a law requiring merchants to sell something at fixed or maximum price.
My understanding is that the manufacturer (Porsche in this case) tells the dealer not to exceed MRSP and can levy penalties (reduced allocations, cancel the franchise agreement, etc). That pressure by the dealer is illegal in the USA, but not in Canada or most of the rest of the world.

Given what I see in the planned and expected dates, this was the case all along... Normally once the allocation is made and contains a commission number the dates are locked, they can move but that is based on the factory (expected date), nothing to do with the SA. In your case both the planned and expected dates are the same and there have been no changes.

To be fair, the “original” delivery date of 06/22 was only what I was told verbally. This is the first time I got to see the production schedule w/ commission number. Whatever happened, I’m just excited that I’m now able to enjoy the car for the entire summer!
