If you can't get a 4RS at MSRP, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you won't be getting a SRS at MSRP, unless you get bent over on a trade in, which is effectively paying ADM.

Each one of these SRS's will be snapped up by those with a garage full of sports cars. The whining you hear on rennlist about the roof/pdk/styling is a non issue for these buyers.

I saw another comment of yours in the other Spyder RS thread, where you said these aren't a unique or special car, not limited in production, so most people should be able to get one at MSRP. How many GT3/GT3RS models we up to now? All still commanding hefty ADM's. How many GT3 powered, mid-engined convertibles have their been? The answer is none, until now, and this will be the last. If that's not unique, or special, I don't know what is.

You can say these cars aren't worth paying an ADM in as many threads as you like, doesn't make it true.

 

Delete. Wrong thread.

 

You may be right about demand being higher than I said, or least demand being substantially higher than supply. We shall see. I think it does depend on the economy, and currently we still have a lot of stimulus money sloshing around. Also, some of the price increase is due to inflation, which is reflected in increased MSRP prices.

I do have a garage full cars (11), almost all of which came from the same Porsche dealer, purchased over a period of more than a decade. I didn't get a 4RS because I was late in asking for one, but now I'm early in asking for the SRS, and I think more likely than not I'll get one. My dealer has been reasonable on trade ins, usually giving me about $10-15k less than what they sell them for, and much of that gets offset by the sales tax trade-in credit.

 

Let s face it, we can find any GT3 /RS flavour around , 996 997.1.2 991.1.2 992.1.2 ... how many damn 3/RSs have they made? but this SRS is the most cool crazy car Porsche has made since many years, and all of us know its the real last and unique as well, ppl whining for track or practicality are just pathetic hairdresser , buy a real 992 RS and a SUV for that

Disclaimeir a GT4RS on track is pure crap compared to a 992 RS

 

Hey, just a gentle reminder this is an allocation thread…can we get back on topic.

When are allocations going to be dropped?

What can we expect ADM to be?

Known allocations located at XXX dealership.

Etc..

Likes, dislikes, technical discussions are all great topics in the Spyder RS mega discussion thread.

Oh, let’s try to minimize the “Ken in Sandy Eggo” comment approach..

 

Well you obviously have plenty of other cars that you can track, shift gears yourself, or drive on a day where rain is forecast. The car is what is it, that's not changing. To me, it sounds like you REALLY want this car, but you're trying to convince others it's not special to improve your own chances of getting one. I really hope you get one, and if you've purchased that many cars from the same dealership, then you might be lucky enough to get one at MSRP.

FWIW, my local dealership told me they aren't even taking deposits for the SRS since it was officially released, because they've already got enough EOI deposits down from customers that knew about the car when it was just a rumour. So that's a completely different tune to some in hear that have said their dealership said they haven't had much interest. We also don't have ADM's in my country, so our dealerships tend to be fare more honest/transparent.

 

In the other thread, I outlined my thoughts on the positives and negatives of the car, and said I want it. I'm not trying to convince others not to get it, just thinking out loud and trying not to drink too much Porsche kool aid.

Regarding interest in the car, things may be different in your country vs the US, and I think the suitability of the car really depends on the roads one has access to. My local roads are pretty good, though there are people around and a loud car will sometimes draw unwanted attention.

 

I'll get one at MSRP. Not paying ADM. Consider that many ADM posts in threads like these may be coming from dealers and their proxies trying to psyop the market into what ADM might be 'acceptable'.

 

Dealers aren't smart enough to be running psyops on forums man this isn't deep state lol

 

All it would take is a few dealers throwing ADM numbers out there. And it doesn’t help that RLers keep doing the same. There’s no ADM if everyone decides not to pay it, but instead we have lots of hype about how the car is worth a huge premium and how everyone will have to pay it. Things weren’t like this before the pandemic, and I don’t think they’ll stay this way.

 

I won't pay ADM either. I just can't bring myself to hand that extra moola to a dealer....

I am guessing that means I am less likely to get a car, and I have made my peace with that.

 

I'm also in the MSRP only camp but that's because I already have a 4RS. If I did not have a 4RS and I was able to get an SRS allocation, I think I'd pay 30-40 over to spec my own with how good the 4RS is.

The two MSRP only dealers I've been on a list for have no updates for me in terms of when allocations are dropping or how it'll go. I don't have high hopes but crossing my fingers. Friend who called a bunch of SoCal and out of state dealers was quoted 50-150k over for an allocation and they would call him when allocations drop.

 

I spoke to the dealer today, still no word on allocations.

 

I'm guessing that those MSRP dealers are not in CA, correct?

 

Is CA Canada or California?
