So I contacted my dealer to see what the likelihood of getting a 911 R. He told me I could have an allocation for $300k over MSRP.

I was curious what other were being told?

I think others were being told fat chance. Only 7 are being allocated to non 918 owners I believe.

I think this car could be someone willing to flip their allocation for a nice profit.

If you're in Canada, I can't imagine there will be any non-918 owner allocated cars. Do you know the 918 owners in your area? I would see if they have more info.

In Canada not even all 918 owners are able to get an R - I've spoken to a 918 owner who couldn't get one and he still owns his car. There aren't enough cars allocated. There is one person who is a 918 owner who is flipping his, which I assume is this one. Last week I heard the asking on it was 275k over MSRP, *but* it was still configurable.

This is just getting ridiculous

The brokers that I've been talking to mentioned $150k-$200k over should get it done when I asked them about the R as I was curious.

Having any luck with the RS search?

Bat**** nuts, but great ROI for the lucky ones.

No kidding. I have no interest in the car for myself but you have to wonder what's going on. Supposedly Porsche built the R for driving "purists" who missed having a MT in the GT cars. If they aren't going to make it available for the majority of that group who now want it, what's the point of all the hype?

Yeah a have a few good leads.

The New 911

Have an RS for $269,900 with only 965 miles on it. Screaming deal at Porsche of Cherryhill.

Shizzle I've heard the same. In Canada priority is being sorted even among 918 owners by who were the earliest to buy their 918s. I doubt any will pass up allocations. So unlikely to see a "regular" customer get an allocation other than from 918 owners.

I also doubt the hype will last long once the mt .2 gt3 is announced and we should see some normalcy return to the market adjustment pricing. If you must have an R and are prepared to pay (even a bit) over MSRP that would be the time to do it IMO.

Hi Mike, I was thinking along the same line and the only logic that I could come up with was Porsche getting owners ready for $180K bare bone 4.0 litter, MT in 2018 otherwise how can they justify $180K for a MT
