My local dealer has cars that havent moved even at MSRP for over 4-5 months.
It is still better than almost any other sports car. Try buying a new McLaren or 488 and selling it after a few thousand miles. Even at 5-8k under msrp, that is less than 5 percent off a used car that has been driven for 6 months. I don't see GT3's losing more than 20 percent in 3 years. That is nothing to complain about. Those that bought over msrp or those that bought trying to flip, well money doesn't always mean you are smart.

This. Its important to keep perspective when looking at luxury performance cars. Porsche GT cars are an anomaly. If you look at the Mclaren 650s they have depreciated ~50% off their MSRP in a little over 3 years.

All you have to do is to watch most US Senators speak to validate your assertion.

What should we do with him?

Brand him?
Ban him?
Point at him in an accusatory way?
Get really really angry?

Or admit everyone who posted on this "troll" thread loved the opportunity to give their 2c and therefore are happily complicit in the supposed "trolling".

Relax, it's a forum, we're here to repeat inane **** to each other

First the anger with ADM's, and now anger when prices are actually correcting from current owners. It's very hilarious.

It's a game on RL you can't win ....

For any car to retain ~75% of its value after 5 years is pretty amazing
