would you do 50K over for an RS around December, with a customizable order?

On car gurus, there are 76.1 rs for sale starting at 204k. You are looking at close to 300k for. .2 rs with a 50k (at this time) adm.
you are telling me that 20 hp and a few tweaks to the hood is worth a 100k
not a chance!

I think I may have what lots of people here consider a bloated build and my build only tops out 204K
(no WP obviously).

I am keeping my car forever I hope but I will want to back off heavy track use when the car is close to 48K miles and 4 years old.
This is around September 2019 so I have time.
Only so much track work you can expect a car to handle and I love this thing, so I want to spare it and not push my luck after it runs out of warranty.
But its not worth paying $50K over MSRP, or even half that, really.
If I don't get an allocation (V70 GT2RS and GT3RS) I will get a late 2016 production .1RS, that's fresh with warranty for a year or so, OR maybe a .2GT3 before figuring out plan B.
Just my 0.02c

Unless of course you did this yourself at one time which is highly unlikely based on the stories of the Austin dealership on RL. But then again its another state we are dealing as Trakcar stated above.
Geez!
Sometimes I really wonder if the suggestions posted on RL to a situation have been thought through prior to posting them instead of shooting from the hip.

How is Porsche CPO a ripoff? Most recently it was $2,300 for two years of coverage added on. There is zero sales tax in FL as the car is traded against itself and bought back. You add on couple hundred for fees and 500 extra in profit and a dealer is happy to have you keep the car and continue to provide the high service charges to maintain it.

Seriously! The cost of CPO is more than that for a RS. Plus you expect the dealer to do all the paperwork for free. Then you have to deal with all the other cans of worms like salestax, title, etc, etc, etc.

Still, if you track it any warranty is a crap shoot within the first 48 months, let alone extra time. Depends who you know and how much you spend on service. I’m at $14K in dealer service with Mr Purple, so I’m reasonably covered.

If $50k fixed over MSRP and it’s worth it to you to get the car you want, then who are we to judge. However, $50k down non-refundable with price to be determined is just insane, run away.
These RSs are just amazing cars. The looks, the way they drive, worth every penny in my opinion. They are special, sounds stupid and Kool Aid drinking, but my word they are just amazing. Good luck.

CPO costs have gone up in last few months for GT3/RS to just under 2900 Dealer cost. Not to mention everything out of spec has to be corrected before approval.
Not impossible. Definitely worth the money if you drive a lot. For garage queens these cars are so bulletproof...
In regards to OP and 50k over scenario- lots of people will definitely pay 50k over or more for this car. Lots of them did in 2015 and 2016 also. Lots of brokers and dealers already have experience with how to play this game.

there will come another 6.000 ww within 2019. and there are 6.000 .1GT3RS. will be good times for drivers/buyers in 2019/2020.
i sold mine. for this year. another guy will be more happy with one of the early ones.
bought a GT4 CS MR instead. will try to get plates and insurance on it. and maybe 4.2l.
