It’s a fact, there are more in the last few weeks.
My dealer called me and told me he has 3 new for sale. 2 MT and 1 PDK.
I was all over trying to find 1 a few months back and couldn’t.

I feel like those few k of "fun" miles might not be too gentle on the car either - to the detriment of that future slightly used buyer

+1
My fear too as a buyer
You can not miss shift a PDK but the MT6 is very possible

Oddly I have never been offered a Graphite/ Sapphire/Red/Yellow

All the flip spec cars seem to be chalk/white/Black/silver. Safe colors.

My question is more regarding used .1 GT3 and GT3 RS.

I see a lot of them for sale with less than 2,000 miles. And if break-in procedure is taken as gospel, I highly doubt a 2-3 year old car with 1200 miles on it was kept under 4,000 RPM...

Also I'll put 2,000 miles on my GT3 in the first month, easy. Wouldn't be able to go 3 years without driving the thing haha

This is why I personally would not consider a few month old used car. My guess is that at least half of them sniffed 9k RPM before the odometer sniffed 900, or even 90. Possibly quite often as well.

Can/will dealers run a report for you to see if the car was abused or did not follow break in procedure before purchase?

I looked at a GT4 once at a dealer with 500 mikes on it. I saw it before it went to get detailed. You wouldn't believe how many tire marks were on it from being tracked. No way would I have bought that car.

I can see this... I see it here in So. FL.... flip-safe colors are like the ones you listed. Many with luxury-spec options too. And mostly in Chalk, White, GT Silvers... meanwhile many pre-sold units in colors like Miami, GBM, Carmine, etc... all still remain with their first owners being driven/enjoyed. The way it should be for the most part.

I think when the 2019 was effectively killed, more of the shenanigans of guys sending their cars to secondary market to cash in, started. I know some
of these secondary re-salers and they got more inventory and their markup went up. My car went in to get clear bra last week, and it was on an insta gram and I got called
by 3 guys wanting to buy it ASAP. Two were re-salers and one was a car guy.
Its just guys trying to cash in even more since the 19 GT3 wont be available. And like 2006M5 said, all these guys are playing games while the true enthusiast
cant even get one. It is truly disheartening.
Its not that lots of cars are out there for a great price, in fact its the opposite. And the re-salers are selling lots of MTs because they think they can get a bigger markup.

This is the smallest run of GT3s in a while with the 4Liter. I dont think these will be MSRP for a long while, had the 2019 come along,
then maybe. But when Porsche cut off the 2019 and the rumors of the 992 being a turbo, I just dont see 6 months at all. Just doesnt make
business sense. UNLESS you want a $200,000 Paint to sample one. Its just basic supply and demand. And NOW there is another delay
in builds that were promised in May are now in Sept and later? How in the WORLD is the price going to come down unless you want
a 15,000 mile specimen?
