Default 991.2 gt3 build..got an allocation at 25k over MSRP.. normal ?

Hello All,

I have an allocation for a 991.2 gt3, and at 25k over MSRP... what are the " must have " options here, and any to avoid? I know a lot of it is subjective for sure, but would appreciate input, as this will be my first gt3... code is below:

also- is 25k over MSRP normal? is MSRP realistic?

also debating on red vs GT silver exterior...

THANKS !

For 25K over MSRP, you should be allowed a PTS allocation.

I think you could find yourself a $10k-$15k over allocation without any problem.

thanks for the reply.. I'm in the LA area, and spoken to (2) dealerships with no luck below 25k over... going to keep poking around...

have a relationship with both dealers to a limited degree ( one car, the current one from one dealer, and 3 cars from the other, but that relationship has degraded unfortunately )

Did you give Circle a jingle?

When is the allocation date? It is up to you what you are ok paying, but earlier allocations should be worth more with the December and earlier being PTS eligible. I have found between $10k-$30k, nothing at MSRP.

Yeah if they are charging you 25k over msrp, there is no relationship. I guess one of the hidden costs of living in LA.

Are you a dealer? B/C with no prior posts but this, I'm sorry but it just sounds like another dealer trying to play into the hysterics.

Admins, please check his IP.

Just looks like a chapter out of member evilfij's playbook with stupid money to spend. But you could be right on the fishing expedition.

actually, i have posted before this. I have a pic up of my 991.2 turbo s, and have posted my build sheet for the GT3 in another forum topic on this site.

so, no, I am not a dealer.

I've tried working with Circle in the past but the SA that I was in contact left and when I pinged the GM I heard nothing but crickets so I've moved on. One of the guys on here mentioned that Circle had GT3 allocations for locals at $10k over so maybe give a call out to the GM?

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.

I call shenanigans. Why don't you go back to the dealer that you bought the Turbo S from? I don't see why any dealer who sold you a not too high demand but flagship and very pricey model would not give you a GT3 without a significant markup...

You know how we do on the other site.

I would have run an IP search and then ban hammered any dealer, lol.
