My White GT3 will be ready for delivery in about a week. It is very nicely spec'd and MSRP around $155,000. I would certainly entertain selling it with a minimum $10,000 over

But try asking dealers to buy your GT3 and what they will offer. Beverly Hills said they have zero interest in my gt3 that will arrive soon. Two other dealers offered me $135k for a Msrp car at $150k.
Yes most dealers could care less about having long term customers they just want a fast buck.

Just to be clear, we are happy that a dealer will offer us MSRP for our used GT3's but are outraged that they ask over MSRP when they try to sell them. Hmm...

I think to some extend these dealers like having a GT3 on the showroom floor for customers to see when they shop for their other Porsche, whether it be a base 911, Cayenne, etc.... They'll let the car go if they can get a premium, but if they can't, they may as well use the car to create enthusiasm for the brand. I've got to admit that when I pop into my local dealer and they don't have a GT3, RS or something interesting to see, I don't stay long. Same goes for Audi when there's an R8 on the floor or even Ford when they have a Shelby GT500 on the floor.

Hold on! There is a difference between a dealer charging over MSRP on a preorder car by a customer and one the dealer spec for himself to sell. I don't have any problem with a dealer selling over MSRP in the latter situation. It is good for those of us who preordered our cars. Higher resale value.
