As for Gaudin, don't waste your time...been down that road with them and without getting into details they aren't a dealer that I would or want to work with.

When did Circle start charging over MSRP to locals? That wasn't the case a year ago.

If you're willing to pay $25k over, I'm guessing you'll have no trouble finding a car at one of the CA dealers. Try Carlsen up here in the Bay Area.

I know 25k over sounds ridiculous... but theres the chance ( prob unlikely ) that the naturally aspirated gt3s may disappear, or they may not produce for 2019 etc.. .... thats probably unfounded but who is to say...

This is terrible advise, since I'm on the list at Carlsen and will not be paying 25K over.

This guy Archimedes is trouble.

I understand all the people who say never to pay an ADM, etc.

But is $10K what's being commonly asked for early allocations for us non-connected, non-VIPs? This is the first I've noticed a thread where actual numbers are being tossed around. Or are we still in the theory zone?

Full disclosure: I didn't ask the Nashville dealer what the ADM would be because I'm passing on the .2 GT3. I paid ADM of $2K on GT4 and $25K on the RS. (I'm not against ADM - I'm against not getting the car I want)
