evidently you and some are debating exactly that. Anyone can purchase anything they want and sell it for what they can get when they want. That’s as simple as it gets. So I see the ball perfectly well. You are playing in the wrong game perhaps? I suppose if it were yours you would sell it for less than you could get to be a Good Samaritan? Haha. How will you sell your house? What you paid for it (assuming it appreciated) or depreciated from there? Doubt it !!! Yes it’s the same thing.

Haven't read the whole thread,but " letting it go to an enthusiast " means selling it for MSRP directly to a buyer,not giving it to a dealer who sells it for 25 K ADM.... I'm a bit surprised about this when we're talking usctrojan," the biggest basher of ADM and stealerships "... But who am I to argue...I guess some " talk the talk without actually walking the walk "...

Exactly as Bloose said it. Just a bunch of guys that don't like the game. I hate it as well, but can't punish someone for playing it right. He's bought 1 mil worth of cars and therefore the dealer looks out for him. Same thing Ferrari does and a better way than other dealers. There are plenty of porsche dealers that people have bought numerous cars from and the dealer still charges them adm and then kills them on trade ins. John and Martin are playing a win-win game, which is the only way to play it right

It's not about the "game". It's about the guy who called everyone playing the game a "flipper", and is now playing the game himself. AKA the duck. AKA the hypocrite.

this thread is nuts. Dude spent recently $1mm on Porsche’s and he can’t sell one he doesn’t prefer? What the hell.

Man oh man.. I'm going for a drive.

As good as the .2 GT3 is if i wanted to enjoy a manual i would probably go the 997 route too. That is an analog car. A 4.0? Every day i would reach for that key. Good luck with the sale.

Don't you think you'll run into the same situation with the RS? You'll reach for the 997 4.0 keys because it just ticks all of the boxes. It is up to you, but I'd hold off on the RS (given your feelings about the standard GT3) and save the money for a future Porsche that is truly a different variant (for example, the baby 918 that is supposedly going to be released).

Doesn’t sound like Martin gives a flying fart in space about the haters. Good for him. What a bunch of children.

A man can do whatever he wants with his property,I promise I could care less... I just love the irony here,that's all... Not to mention that the " good guy dealership " he sold it to is the biggest flipper on the Rennlist Vehicle marketplace...

Seriously. So much anger on these forums. I went to the GT4 forums to read some happy stuff and the same thing there! This stuff is becoming more of a turn off then all the adm/value/spec talk.
