Wow this thread got weird fast.
People want to fight over internet posts on a porsche forum? Now I've seen everything lol.
Strange to say "nothing is owed" in my opinion. Especially if this thread resulted in the resolution to some extent.
Anyways everyone go enjoy their expensive cars and calm down.

Been following this since the beginning.....IMO he owes the community an explanation....if he would have came on and gave a vague description of what was going on and said give me some time to sort it out with the dealer than OK.....that's not what happened though....he came with the entire story and his evidence to his side....

that being said it sounds like we won't get one....

Come on here and throw Main Line under the bus and ask for Rennlist’s help, but throw the members here under the bus once he gets a resolution without a courtesy of any relevant update? These types of threads should be banned.

Yes, the Rennlist blitz is what got him what he wanted.

$175k adm on a 2RS? Wow, has Walmart opened a Porsche Dealeeship? That’s a steal.

“Calling all Walmart shoppers, special in the Porsche isle”

Boy just wait until the limited production.2GT3RS appears. Lol.


I see .1RS values jumping back up $50k at least.

CJ: .1RS production is approx. 3600.

I suspect the dealer wanted to keep its "good guy" status, but didn't want to lose the massive ADM that someone is willing to pay. So what did they do? Probably promised OP future supply of GT3RS for msrp, and, who knows, may be a bj on top of this. Just guessing.

No way Waxer. If you're so sure, go buy 10 and capitalize on an easy 25% move.

Yeah, I'm still unclear of whether I should go to POTML or not.

I agree, poor show to name and shame a dealership, gain the support of the community and then offer no details on the resolution.

Actually- If the .2RS will be so limited(like they say about every GT model) I see the .2GT3 prices going to the roof because of the new engine and its ability to beat the.1RS. I see the .1RS values continuing to slowly fall but eventually they will find a floor. Where is that floor???- nobody knows

I don't know, GT3 and RS prices seem to continue to diverge over time...no matter the lap times.

Weird how this thread has been locked and unlocked multiple times now.
