you had no problem throwing them under the bus when they did the wrong thing- there should be no problem telling everyone what the agreement was.
Not to mention NOBODY would turn down a GT2RS at MSRP. NOBODY!

So you just wasted everyone's time here for nothing.... after throwing this dealership under the bus?
It was just a "communication" problem? And you are now turning down a GT2-RS at MSRP?

I believe you owe everyone here an explanation.

FULL and absolute respect for all men and women in Uniform. Thank you for your service.

However shady the dealer was to the OP, and the solution being "acceptable" and, declining a GT2RS at MSRP is an episode to the former TV series "Fantasy Island."

Lessons learned here is we should NOT believe everything we read especially through the internet. Maybe it was good entertainment, depending on how you look at it.

Drive safe,

hahaha, nobody would turn down a GT2RS at MSRP, but I am still wondering is there anyone out there who is admitting to paying ADM, a good portion ofthe people in the financial position to do this already have MSRP cars due to the 918 VIP program

can i buy a few of those machines you make? my wife can't understand my text....

i dont like carlsen. but i "get it"
you know you can walk from facebook HQ to carlsen in 10 minutes (WALKING).... there are a lot of sub 30 yo kids with a LOT of disposable cashflow. so there are plenty of young bucks they can fk over. when they young bucks get old and somewhat smart like old mooty, there will be more dumber and younger bucks they can fk over.... so the world keeps on turning....

and they hvae clients were the price of Gulfstreams are mere rounding errors.... so i " get it".... not happy however.

While I wouldn't support or promote west coast or (some) US dealer practices regarding ADM's, I can see now why they behave in this manner.. They are enabled by their clientele.
owner charlie is getting old, he is there everyday but i dont think. he knows what is going on.

oh, the previous GM bought a silver 997.1RS for HIMSELF. we chat a lot. i did used to spend $ there. and he gave me many free little car models. (hey i give credit where due)....


i asked, "richard, what you doing with that RS. "

without hesitation, "i'll keep it in show room a bit then flip it".....

i cannot make all this sh*t up....

and do u want to hear my audi S4 avant trade in story....
bring me some root beer and i can goto town on this...

good thing i dont drink alcohol (any alcohol), else i fear what would come out of my mount on this subject.

anyway, i hand the mic back to the oP
