Default My fortunate dealings with Porsche Fresno!!

So ..... they are advertising this GT3 at MSRP.

I call and they tell me they cannot sell it without a wheel/tire package for an extra $25K. It is pictured as such they say.

A slick ADM game?? They said some CJ guy there approved it. The owner??

Misleading??

Really lame. They’re active forum members so let’s see what their side is.

The OP made a joke, I think?.....their other GT3 is pictured without wheels and tires also....probably just a glitch in the software

Not a scam - just a problem with the stupid center-lock wheels. They fall off if you miss even one of the 657-step installation and inspection process . . .

Wow, that's a damn shame! This is 2017 where Hollywood is being shutdown for sexual harassment and yet Porsche has the audacity to troll the customer with a 25K ADM with a wheel package.

Geez, if you're truly going for the super lightweight, no wheels option, at least spec PCCB brakes. I do believe if you go CXX, you can also get deviated edging on the four cinder blocks that come as part of this package.

STG, good idea, but I think you went a little strong and the sarcasm wasn't caught by everyone.
