The dealer and SA have a good reputation for being straight, they appear to consistently sell at MSRP, but I very much appreciate your input. It was my January build spec, but right after we spoke the SA asked me if I wanted any changes. I did and he immediately submitted it. No change in dates.
I guess we'll see what they say next week when I go after more details.

That being said, it sounds like your caught them with their hand in the cookie jar and can’t really admit to it so they are giving it to you. I’d double check the build as it’s possible they may have changed things from your original spec.

I only mention this because in TYD it shows I have a GTS4.0 incoming. However I don’t. As I’ve ordered a GT4. The dealer local to me took my build order and ordered a dealership car. I’ve asked them multiple times to get it removed from my account but it’s still there and it’s currently sitting at Emden Port. When checking the build sheet, it’s slightly different than the one I specced.

just want to make sure you are ACTUALLY getting a car.

Default GT4 at 25k MA

So I have a chance to put a deposit on a GT4 (not an RS model) coming in next year. However they are at 25k ADM over sticker. Build is about 140k, so all in with taxes I'm about 180k OTD. I'm having second thought about paying 180k for a GT4, but with how rare the chances of ordering one are I've been going back in forth. What do you all think? Crazy or go for it?

oooph fa, 25K ADM..idk man. It guess its whatever its worth to you, but that seems steep. It's a special car no doubt about it, but near 200K special?

To answer your question straight. I think crazy.

Personally, I wouldn't pay that much. Patience and a little bit of work will get you a car for a lot less. 25 over is so summer 2022.

I wouldn't pay that much, I am sorry. It is an amazing car - but it is not the only amazing car in existence, especially not if you are in the US.

Basically used GT4's are going for MSRP-10k over depending on the options/specs. Unfortunately there aren't many allocations remaining and going rate is 20k+ for you to build your own so you need to decide what's worth it to you.

How'd you get under $130K with PCCB and LWB? My Spyder build came in at $132K without LWB's.

That build, on a GT4, with race tex/silver stitching is $129k.

I agree with everyone above, I would not pay $180K for a GT4. The GT4 is so hyped right now, but when you think about it, $180K can get you used supercar territory which is in a different league. In fact, probably can get a used 991 GTS with N/A. So many choices at that price point...

Do it. Get the spec exactly the way you want it.
