Yes, that was the case with both my friend and me until the point we actually decided we wanted a car and started doing something about it.
Before that, we were just chilling on 2-3 dealers' lists, waiting to get an allocation - this won't work.
edit: 25 is nothing, I emailed\called around 200

anyways, to the topic at hand - I believe that once the Spyder\GT4 won't be manufactured at all, and all allocation would be gone for good, this price would make sense - but at this point, if I have that kind of money - I would have much prefered to pay a little more extra and get it brand new and customized to my liking, that's just my $.02

I heard that before, and after a few hours of calls, I got one for MSRP (Spyder). My friend heard that, too, and after a few hours of calls, he got one for a GT4 for 10k ADM. Both of us are without prior relationships and not trading any cars.
Point is - with even a small amount of proactivity you could easily get an allocation.

You keep telling this story. We hear you and congratulations for winning the MSRP lottery. This is an exception for sure and others likely will not be able to duplicate your result. It's disingenuous to imply all people have to do is call a bunch of dealers like you did and they too can strike gold. I called or emailed between 75-100 dealerships and found a GT4 allocation with an ADM over six months ago. BLUF: If you are looking for a GT4 or Spyder allocation you may be able to find one; however, you will likely pay an ADM. End of discussion.
Also I didn't claim MSRP is easy (or even possible at this point), I said the average from what I gathered *was around 10k over and I used that number to explain why I think this used one isn't such a good deal.
Thats it

what exactly is disingenuous about it? I have two data points, both managed to get an allocation for a reasonable ADM (0-10) within a day or two of attempts. You wanna say two data points are disingenuous? Be my guest, it is just data.

Anyways, believe what you want to believe, the bottom line is I have only two actual data points - both managed to get an allocation for <=10k ADM with zero prior relationships with some effort
Not even talking about the fact I changed my mind several times, had a Spyder allocation at MSRP - gave it away to another rennlisterto get a GTS allocation - changed my mind again, and managed to get another Spyder allocation for MSRP
I guess I am just the luckiest man alive, right? got nothing to do with the fact I actually am willing to put in the effort to get what I want

Yeah I know you've mentioned that before, but I would consider that to be the exception and not the rule. For every case like yours, there are several "I've been waiting on x nunber of MSRP lists for > 6 months with nothing to show for it".
There are also folks that have called every dealer under the sun (myself included) with no such luck. Before getting my car, I spent an afternoon calling over 25 dealers and got nothing of value offered to me. One dealer had an allocation that they wanted 30k over for, another 50k (ridiculous I know). I ended up finding a GT4 at 15k over, which isn't great but not awful.

All that being said, I don't think it's particularly easy to find a new GT4 allocation at this time and over the last 12-18 months. With allocations dwindling, I don't see that changing.

May 2022. Might be an overpay, but I've got the car and I'm very happy with it.
I purchased it with the intention of driving/enjoying it.

The problem with all of the above is timing. Even with allocations .. are you going to wait 1-2 years and risk production ending before your car is built ? I think this is a two in the hand one in the bush situation.
yeah you may save 10-15k calling every dealer, but is that worth the wait / risk you don’t get a car ?

if you’ve got an allocation, ie a build slot, you’re not waiting 1-2 years. Real variable on ADM is market. CA seems to have the craziest ADMs. Other parts of the country are seeing numbers drop. I got a GT4 in NY in august for $5k ish over.

I put in a deposit at local dealer for GT4 and GTS back in 1/2022. Id be happy to pay 5k over MSRP for a GT4! A few times I called some dealers, and did the whole search spreadsheet thing, everything I found was 15+ ADM. Granted this was 6 months + ago. I'm paying the sit and wait game. Sounds like I should start calling around again!
