I would love to get what I want, but Porsche won't PTS it for me in signal yellow and I dislike racing yellow. Don't you hate 1st world problems?

I am not as confident that the ADM is going to be eliminated, there is a dealership in Texas that has been selling 3RS allocations for a 75K ADM; they sold 6 and have one remaining. Regarding Porsche stepping up production........how would any of us ever be able to get that information and consider it reliable? It's seems I hear vastly different figures from multiple "in the know" sources. I would love to know the true 3RS production figures but that is clearly not ever going to happen........unless of course, as I have heard several people reference on this forum, I hire the right gardener and/or cleaning lady.
On top of that there is occasional disinformation being posted by members on this forum with various diverse, not always forthright motivations.

Absolutely..........though, maybe, just maybe I didn't hire the right cleaning lady.

My 2 RS was cancell, delivery was on ordering confirmation form on Sep 18 but dealer told me that they didn't receive as many allocation as they thought so. I will keep my deposit at them for the next RS.
I dodn't think 2 RS will be a 5000 pcs cars, maybe half of that.
Another dealer that i talk(local RO dealer) they had 5 pcs 991.2 GT3(until know) and will not have a single RS.

I don't understand your post. Are you saying that you ordered an RS pursuant to a commission number order with a delivery date of September 18th and it was cancelled by the dealer? This is very hard to believe. Where are you located?

Here is a fun video of one the first or second 3RS(s) collected in the UK. I still have a 3.5 to 4 month wait.........s**ks. Well not entirely true I have collected a 3RS but it's hard to get about in it.

Anybody know of a dealer in UK/Europe who has/will have a Lizard RS in the next 1-2 weeks? Will be in a few cities week after next and would like to see one.

I don't feel anything for or against LG, but you are lucky you can get the colour you want.

Luck had nothing to do with his color choice. The ADM he paid had everything to do with it. Say no to ADM's

I sign the bellow order form, but to be fair dealer told me that he is not 100% that he could give me the car.

Thank you, very pleased with the Lizard Green colour choice........few more months.

What a positively inane and obtuse comment. Let me break down the ADM for others that potentially would benefit from an alternate perspective. Firstly, those that obtain MSRP deals are generally but not always the long term clients what is often referred to as a VIP. So what does it take to become a VIP, not guarantee it mind you, it requires you at a minimum make multiple car purchases over time and with each purchase more often then not on resale or trade you take an associated loss. New cars lose around 11% the moment you leave the lot then 15 to 25% for each year of ownership, and after 5 years, with exception, the car is worth about 37% of what you paid 5 years prior. Pretty steep nose dive in value wouldn’t you say? Let’s say VIP customer, let’s call him Mr. Rotorhead buys a average specced 911 for 120K and hold on to the car for 2 years and does this 3 times to become a VIP (though after three modest purchases admittedly that would be a little unlikely but I want to create a scenario that favors your stated concern). So that originally purchased 120K Porsche 911 under the most favorable scenario after two years of ownership is now worth ~ 77K*. That is 43K loss per vehicle and after three such slam dunks (6 years +/-) Mr. Rotorhead is now achieved the coveted VIP status, and his losses are somewhere in the neighborhood of 130K. Even if I cut the losses in half because Mr. Rotorhead is a slick customer, and a fast talker, or just happens to walk on water…….we are still talking about 65K in losses and a 5 or 6 year wait.
So now Mr. Camshaft comes along and pays an ADM of 40 to 50K and gets a GT car immediately not having to wait the obligatory a 5 or 6 years and a car, I might add, that will hold it’s value much better then the non-GT Porsches……hmmmmmmmmmmmm……I ask you who seems like they crafted a better deal?
I would love to continue this debate with you but I have to go on to the Suncoast website and buy some cool accessories for my 2019 991.2 GT3-RS with the money I saved (not to mention the time I did not have spend in Porsche purgatory).


* assumptions: 11% loss after leaving the lot then 15% loss each of the subsequent two years
