Default GT3 DEALER CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT

This must be some kind of cruel joke...a strange twist of fate. Does the grinch now drive a GT3, lime green with Cindy Loo Hoo in the passenger seat? On monday I got so frustrated with the GT3 hysteria and the cars selling above MSRP that I pulled my deposit from a dealership in northern CA. By the way, they still have not credited back my deposit....you know, administrative delays. I tried to buy a GT3 from the dealership down the street, Newport Beach Porsche, but they continue to laugh at me. When they stop laughing they called me last week with a "deal I should not pass up...A customer ordered a GT3 and then backed out at the last minute...would you like to buy it...at $30k over sticker". Blah Blah This is just too much. As I said, I am OUT. done with the games.

But today was something far more cruel. Far more cruel. This is what they sent me...Coincidence? or just a nail in the Porsche coffin for me.

On the bright side you didn't have to pay an ADM for yours

There's a separate thread about a ton of these sent out by PCNA recently

Wow that must have been quite a surprise. It's been a little less crazy here in Canada, no ADM allowed and its really unfortunate what's going on with all this ADM BS. For some reason they are not sending out the package your received to us Canadians. If you want to sell the package I'd pay the shipping.

You must have an order in the system somewhere (maybe V070)?

It seems if you have a Deposit on anything you got one of these. Keep the toys and make more GT cars so I can buy one. I feel your pain.

agree, not cool man. on the bright side, if you really want an awesome car... for the same price (since they want an ADM) get a 991.1 RS ... its just amazing. I have both a GT3.2 and an RS, would choose the RS if my wife came to her senses and made me get rid of one. easy choice.

Sure no ADM on top of MSRP but they collect ADM in other ways. I'd rather just pay the cash on top of MSRP like in the US.

Can I have the package? Porsche Canada hasn't spent money on these. Would be nice though!

Do what my friends did and buy a C7 Z06 MT at 18% off sticker. Then go and crush them blue blooded GT3's on track. You will have the last laugh with money to spare. ��

Yeah right, after a couple laps something will break on the Vette. Here’s one burning up just the other day. BTW no bad wishes to Vette owners just a fact.

I am on my 5th 911 so clearly I value the brand, but there is so much BS talked on this forum by some about corvette, if you go to the track any weekend you will see Corvette's being tracked all weekend long with no issues. anyone can google and find tales of issue with a particular model including the 911.

Then ZR1!!!
