My guess is very few have gone to actual car enthusiast/buyers.
it's such a sad situation with these GT cars and how the allocations work. There is also no easy way around this problem.

If production exceeds demand, this stops. Easy fix.

There are so few allocations now and a lot more demand, just need more time for more allocations to come out. But alas we live in a world of impatient people. As I said before, the beta tester buyers will be the ones that pay the highest ADMs. Once those buyers have been exhausted the ADMs will come down.

I like how worded that...they are beta testers for better or worse...

I still remember receiving a call from my dealer on my 981 GT4 whether I would be interested in selling it. That was the time during which LWBs were a supply issue and mine had them. I guess I was BETA back then.

Are they idiots because they paid that much or geniuses because they have that much?

Kidding of course. Wealth is correlated with many things but genius is well down the list.

I really feel for everyone in this situation and not being able to buy a car they really desire......if Someone is willing to put down $275K for a GT4RS that car will probably be his flavor of the month and forget about it in very little time. He probably has access to cars higher up the food chain.
Bad move by Porsche dealers to make a quick sale this year instead of building long term relationships....they are perpetuating the old-style cars salesman model. These customers will buy the GT4RS now but what about in a year or two? How large is the base of these customers?
GT4RS may be the thing right now but in another 6 or 12 months McLaren, MB, Audi, etc may come out with something that's the thing of the moment.....good luck attracting this kind of buyer.
Independently if you have lots of $$$$ the product has X value and you just paid an absurd amount of money just to have it on the first production batch....having lots of $$$$ doesn't make you smart.

I know everyone hates ADM threads
I'm just curious where things stand today for GT4RS -- are we talking $100k? More? Where versus a GT3 with a wing?

Thank you!

That's a variable number based on what your dealer relationship is, how many cars have you bought, what's your trade - in, etc... Also, how many people need bumping to get you at the top.

Walking in off the street assume 100'ish and up. That's the number a SA friend threw out on a dealer spec'd winged 992 GT3 on the showroom floor.

Sky is probably the limit. Someone posted a pic of a 992 Touring ADM sticker in CA that was at $200,000.

Around 100k for an allocation right now. Once they land I bet you first ones will be asking 150-200k over ADM.

You are proly right, what a bozo.

I remember I couldn't believe when the 2016 gt3rs were all well over 400k, same ****. All these cars will be well under sticker sooner than later. I also couldn't believe my 2019 gt3rs value didnt crater considering they built so many on top of the GT overload of the last 10 years.

Like how many more people can even buy these year after year of production and store them rationally speaking lol. only so many people that want street legal racecars and only so many garage spaces.....make you wonder how many would bail the second the general potato porsche buyers dont think they are "investments" anymore...

I don't know that I see any 2020+ GT cars selling for under sticker for a decent while, unfortunately.

The 3RS ADM game is unfortunately going to be even worse than the 4RS, and when people strike out on those, they may default back to the secondary market just to have something 'new'

I see the 992 GT3 leveling out to ~$250 based on build, while the 4RS and 3RS command higher initial prices.
