Default How dumb am I?
I was just offered a Feb build on a GT3RS with freeze on selections Feb 28 for 15k over and couldn’t get my ducks in order. When I called back 2 hours later...build spot gone. Regretting my hesitation...
If anyone has a build spot that they are bailing on, please let me know so that I can feel better about life again lol...

I agree with the market softening in next few months. I would only pay ADM on WP cars with exposed CF hood

It sure seems to me like there's plenty of time for another round of allocations. No?

There will be plenty of chances to get one. Used prices are dropping. One just dropped in my lap at MSRP last week after I had turned them down with an ADM. For what it's worth, it's worth the wait.

I think the move now is to get a used one with PPF and coating and whatnot at sticker when those start to show up.

Too many choices. Now the 991.2 needs to compete with much cheaper 991.1 and the 600LT and Huracan Permonte at current ADM prices.

Wait until the 992.1 GT3 RS comes out; at that point, the current ones will be dumped onto the market and you'll be able to snag one at at cheaper price.

lol wise words

If you are dead set on your own spec keep searching around but I don't know if you'll find much better than 15k especially at this point

If you are open to a 3RS in transit/CPO/delivery mile/on the lot etc I think the world is your oyster, many seem to be surfacing and if you call around you'd be surprised
