GT3 Allocation and RS Pricing Question
#16
Strange, the sales guys there have been fine with me. I was on good terms with Bruce who now is the manager at the maserati dealer, and currently with Beau.
Sucks to hear.
But agreed on the service dept. They had no issue bolting on a bunch of cup car parts on my 997 GT3 after I took delivery. Some dealerships get wonky when it comes to mods, even if a porsche part.
I *think* only 2 allocations for this first round of allocations, but am not sure. I'm #2.

My dealer is mid-sized, I have a #3 spot, and the dealer guesses that I might get the car in spring '14, but it's only a guess. I'm not in a big hurry because I'm still not sure about PDK, track seats are a must for me, I want to drive the new Vette first, interested to see how the new M3/4 turns out, keeping an eye for a used 997 GT3 at a good price, and also wondering if a more powerful Cayman is also really in the works.

Since they got at most 4 GT3s, 3 RS models sounds like a real long shot. You should have a backup plan.

I would drive an electric car before I bought anything from them. Service great. Sales: complete scumbags. They took away my RS allocation as soon as they saw that I optioned it minimally. This was AFTER they said "go ahead...sell your GT3 now." They in turn optioned it up on spec to almost $200k. Thank God another forum member gave me their allocation.
I have never been so mad in my life. I set a goal to refer $1M in business away from them. So far I am at $450k....helping people living in Austin to buy from other dealerships. (Panamera Turbo S loaded, Cayenne, 911S and Boxster loaded). It’s a hobby for me

my buddy below has lost way more than $1MM in the last year. probably close to $2MM and counting.
if anyone wants used car from my bud in my avatar, DONT. you be fking sorry and i will not answer any of your questions. i 'll watch you drown....
back to topic.
if you find a large dealer i think you will get GT3, not first one in line, but you will have it.

a lot of ppl have multiple allocations.
a lot of ppl will not be able to cough up money when due.
a lot of spots will suddenly become available with .... well, "if you pay me $5k under the table, you can have my car...." i know b/c i have been solicited when i was looking for RS4.0, RS3.6 etc.

Also interesting in my calls is that the list for the RS is about the same as the GT3, many GT3 buyers are in line for the RS. That maybe due to bucket seats and snowball in hell manual transmission.
