How much did you pay for the mark up of your 991 GT3RS? I am thinking to get one but the dealer is asking 50k over MSRP. Do you think this car worth this much?

If you want an RS and have the money...yes.

That's crazy. You can do a lot of things with 50K.

I'm sorry but the RS isn't worth that. And RS will be easier to get next year than this year.

To the OP. If you want a fun car now, get a GT3, lamborghini, Ferrari, z06, Z28.,whatever, and try again for an RS next year. You'll have fun now and I gaurantee, you'll lose less than 50K on that car over the next year.

I tend to agree that $50k is a bit excessive. That kind of money can do a lot of things more beneficial for you & not your greedy dealer.

I know it's thought to be patient, but....you know that good things come to those people!!!

It's your money and only you can answer what $50k means to you. No one knows if they'll be easier or harder to get next year, there should be more allocations coming, but demand does seems to keep growing.

I would say its not a good idea to encourage this kind of behaviour from dealers. Having said that, there will always be someone who 'breaks ranks' and pays over the odds.

In any case, not sure why you are asking others what the car is worth to them. Its what its worth to you that matters.

It all depends on how you want to option it.
The dealer cars are quickly optioned with 30K in options, so if you like a loaded RS at $200+ anyway than I think you will find one for less than 50k over later.

If you want your RS "just so" with lowish options and you must have one than you may have to pay over. I'd say 50K gets you an RS allocation no problem, if you wait till next year it may be less or they may be all gone.

You can grab GT3's now almost new at MSRP....

From what I have seen, it's actually pretty slim pickin's. Only eight offered at dealerships and they all appear to be offered at over MSRP (some by quite a bit). And very little available here on RL.

You only need one...
I bet getting a GT3 under $135-140 you like won't be hard to do if you have 3-6 moths and cash ready to go.

And it's a stripper!

I agree. If you are patient and flexible with options, it can surely be done. I just don't think it's as easy as stopping by the five and dime and picking up some gum.

As has been discussed before here on RL, autotrader, cars.com, etc., can be rather misleading when it comes to the GT3 market. Some of those cars have sold. Some are just advertisements (e.g., Ralph's listing). One is actually a Cayman S. One is actually a Turbo S. But more to the point, it looks like the vast majority of the ones actually for sale (if not all) are are above sticker.

I'm happy for folks to believe there is a bunch of gently used 1GT3s on the market for MSRP or under; I'm just not one of them. Rather than further derail OP's thread, this will be my last comment on the topic.

No help out someone less fortunate than you with the 50k.

Another advisor how one should spend their own money.

I've seen several posts where you offer your GT4 allocation at over MSRP, are you saying you will be donating the profits?
