All the seller/flipper needs to do is buy the 911R emblem and stick it on the rear trunk cover and seller/flipper can charge additional $50K.

The real frustration is just getting into the game. 12 years of schooling, finally at the point where my childhood dream of owning a "Porsche" is now an absolute reality. Unfortunately I have a fetish for the GT3RS and don't want to settle on anything else. But I live 350 miles from the closest dealership. I have no prior history, nor family history for that matter, of having ever owned a Porsche. Getting into the game if you will is extremely difficult I have found, at least for the GT cars. I have no connections at Porsche dealership or friends with connections. Doing it on your own is near impossible. Yes, I can buy used, but I want that first time owner experience. I want it to be mine from the start and own it forever, giving it to my kids to drive and appreciate. 6 years ago I debated (....really argued) with my wife about buying a recently listed used 2007 Black w/orange accents GT3RS at Park Place Porsche that had under 3,000 miles for ~$110K. I still wanted a brand new one especially with the .1's soon to arrive during that time. But before I decided to do it, it was sold. Big mistake obviously LOL! Live and learn I guess. Paying above ADM seems ridiculous to me. Is it the new norm, I hope not. But if it is so be it. Supply and demand. Maybe something else will peak my interest. Maybe Porsche will fix the problem. Not gonna lose sleep over it. I'll just keep being me and hope things work out into my favor.

Also the 997RS .1 is a very special car...the motor is epic.

I had the opportunity of buying the GT4 from a Rennlister a couple of years ago. Almost pulled the trigger but I am dead set on a GT3, preferably an RS. Do I need the RS over the base GT3, No. But thats what I want. Dreams are dreams and when you make up your mind it's hard to deviate from it. Pay up or shut up is what I tell myself, but I won't get caught up in this absurd ADM stuff. $10-20k over, yea ok. $50+, nah I"ll pass. The GT4 was a great deal but after having driven the .1 GT3 I knew I would be regretting the GT4 down the road. I guess its just the satisfaction of be able to walk in and walk out of a dealership with something that I have wanted for a long time now. Years ago, that meant something, and likely got you on the list. But now, even long time clients can't even get or stay on the list. A guy looking for his first purchase doesn't have a chance. Pretty much realizing the used buyer market is where I'll end up. It is what it is. I am fortunate just to be able to have the means to buy one and enjoy life the way I wan too. I won't let it rattle me that much but it is frustrating. Kind of like Fords buyer program for the GT when it came out last year. Make it an even playing field, consider all as potential owners. Then you fill out the application and they want to know what cars you have in your collection, charity work done, etc. etc. Yea, I went ahead and sent it in.........full well knowing that it wouldn't have a chance. Rumor is, the next run of the GT's are stating up again soon. Just more disappointment. Oh well. I am thankful for what I have. Cheers

Guys, I'm a first-time Porsche owner. Hell, I've only had one car my entire life and it wasn't anything special. And it took me all of 3 days to find a GT3. I went to Google maps, typed in Porsche Dealer, and started calling all the dealers that popped up, starting in my home state and working my way out, until I found a dealership with an allocation at a price I was ok with. It's not hard—just time consuming.

Key phrase here. Yep super easy to find. Find at a price you are ok with is a whole different story. To many this amount is no where near the asking prices of many of these dealers that google finds.
