Its so crazy how different allocations and availability are in different countries...This is a very well specced clubsport, guards red, and its available on the dealers floor right now here in Kuwait. Price is around $168,000.

Auto Gallery in LA has indeed changed their policies. I inquired about their GT3 list and the GM said they have 21 on the list, MSRP only and $5000 deposit to get on. Very reasonable. No games.

However...A good friend was getting his '71 911S serviced at Newport Porsche (Autonation) and asked if he could get a GT3. The salesperson said yes, they had allocations and he could configure the car...hmmmm. They did not get down to numbers but I would guess that there may be a "market adjustment" when the invoice is created. or he is just very lucky

Thanks for the confirmation on Auto Gallery. If they indeed changed their policy then I give them props and I will drop them from my stealership list.

That's about as safe a bet as you'll find.

This would be contrary to what I have been told. They will take your name and a deposit but they are out of allocations. They have all been assigned.

I met with them and have emailed them. I live two miles away from the dealership. They told me the exact same thing..."We have your information and if we get more allocations we may call you." Translation: "We have more important clients than you that have bought thousand of cars from us per month (or something like that). However, if you are willing to pay a market adjustment we may have an allocation for you."

I am done with Newport Porsche...I don't want to buy ten cars to get one. And I am not 80 years old!

Funny...my wife wants a Cayenne...only 9 more to go to get on the good list!!!

AG has definitely changed the way they do business. In October of last year, I inquired about getting on the list for the new GT3. At that time, I was told that GT cars would be sold at "market price". I sent them an email asking them to reconsider, and reminding them that I was a repeat customer (3 cars, including a 2015 GT3). Unfortunately, I got no response.

Then, on 3/11/17, I got an email from a Customer Service Representative asking if my sales associate was able to get me the car I was looking for? I told her "no", but hoped that she could help me.

Six days later, I got an email from my sales associate telling me I had an allocation at MSRP.

Sounds like whoever is running the dealership is on the right path!
