Basically everyone is a car flipper to a certain degree. Buy low and sell high it's capitalism at work.

It’s true. If you like/need the fact that GT cars hold their value then that is the thin end of the wedge.

Those who know me know that I am the farthest thing from a smooth talkig sales guy. I love cars and that fuels my passion for what I do.

I had at least a dozen confirmed, contracted allocations at MSRP. Plus quite a few GT3s as well.

Same comment I made in the other thread. His comments starting at 6:00 are dead on. This is a problem created by Porsche that can only be fixed by Porsche, not by chasing flippers around.

Everyone bags on the flippers. He looks like a pretty decent guy to me just trying to make a living doing something he enjoys. I do like to see capitalism at work. Then again I'd like to get a GT3T at sticker

Trying to make a living off this is not ethically right. He didn’t exactly say that was he was doing though.

I enjoyed your video. Good on you for being a teenager and taking your car passion to build into a business. Not to mention how many <20 year olds have $4,000 to their name. You went "all in" and had major skin in the game.

I wish you would have held firm and forced Porsche to honor those 12-15 GT3RS sales contracts. But I can fully understand why you'd relent, since they have deeper pockets and law firms on retainer and speed dial.

Who are we to judge if some guy/gal wants to pay $40K extra to buy something they want, and want right now. Most Rennlisters don't get that, and rather judge someone on their own biases.

You have enough information here to judge and comment on someone's ethics? You also show a warped understanding of ethics.
