They just straight up passed. They told me this was "the last naturally aspirated 911". So they would get what they wanted. I even asked them "are you sure?"

The economy is just too good.

It ain't that good, because the car is sitting there.

Let the thing sit there for another 6 months while they keep paying the flooring interest on it. I would have had that sucker sold and off the flooring line but hey what do I know about running a dealership.

And if I were the running the dealer, I'd come about at you with...."hey look, we can't let it go for $122k but how about $127k?" and then after some back and forth I bet we would have gotten the deal done around $125-126k.

usctrojanGT3

What'd they pay for it? $50k over? Let it sit and have them keep paying the low interest flooring line. I hope the FED keeps increasing rates more. They also better hope we don't send troops into Syria or have some stupid crap happen with North Korea.

Oh, ok! I thought it only had 700 miles? My bad.

TRAKCAR

Same at Champion.

Right.

Those cars could be 25-30K over.
You can buy my purple one for less soon.

Its a race..
Will inventory sell out, or will the new RS arrive first @ MSRP?

Inventory takes a while for all flippers to shake out, but this time around there are way more buyers than RS. Until, like you say the economy makes the "nextRS" MSRP for everyone a la 2009-2011.

Who knows, I just signed up for another day at Sebring next week..

I am the Walrus

It's a combination of factors that come into play...
For example, if a guy comes in, sits down at the desk, has the funds/credit ready and is easygoing with his attitude for a vehicle that is available, then things could turn out well.
As to the above scenario imho I've found it to be accurate...
On the oooother hand.. shudder... there are many people that are completely oblivious to how they behave and it doesn't surprise me why they continue to fail in this avenue among most of their other choices
One of the greatest benfits/perks of the free market is to choose to have no interaction with those you choose
Viva GT3 et al :-)
(and I bought a AMG GT S due to the 991.1lack of supply/ GT3 markups)

manouk

yes that's my car but has 775 miles and gt silver also

Keep hearing that is true - last NA RS.

These dealers need to react to the situation faster.

Same goes for every market correction/change. Going from appreciating assets to depreciation assets is hard.
That's just part of the game. Slow to react to current market means loose more money.
Real estate, stock market everything the same.

Archimedes

The car I'm referring to, which was not Manouk's car, is asking $205k, which seems low, until you look at the build, the miles and the options. It's a very low option car, so the premium is still about $24k; plus it has almost 4,000 miles on it, has been lowered, and has aftermarket wheels on it that are definitely of the 'you either love em or hate em' variety. Personally, I don't think he's going to get $205k for that car, but whadda I know.

Manouk's car is a different story. It's a great build, stock, low miles and priced right. If it were in the States, it would have sold already.

Tosilog

They are probably betting on the driving season just getting started and still good economy. By late summer and the imminent announcement of the .2 RS, they might have to rethink their pricing strategy

It is going to be hilarious when this bull market ends and the economy takes a dip.

tmario

floor interest is still low with rates where they are. Maybe if rates rise it will change but I think they stay low. Too much money chasing yield.
