Ive got 600k burning a hole in my pocket. Can you please connect me to your sales reps so I can buy 6-8 cars that I don't need just to have the chance to build a relationship to save 15k ADM. THX

That's funny! But that is sort of what I heard when I approached a local P dealer inquiring for a GT3 allocation a few months back...

people are free to spend their money as they wish. Ive been caught in the rat trap of having the latest and greatest when the difference between the cars is not significant enough for me to exploit. Im just not that good of a driver.
Ive come to the conclusion that Im happy with used cars- 6 months old, year old, whatever. Its how I bought my 488. Its how I bought my RS. Touring I got msrp but was made to feel like I owed the dealership my left nut in return.
The latest and greatest isn't worth it for me to jump through all the hoops. If I find a good deal, ill take it. If not, no worries. I just don't get emotional about these things anymore. Dealers are in the business to make money. more power to them.

Well, why buy new when you can get a better deal on used GT3? I just purchased Chalk GT3, 250 miles on it, CPO, full wrap w/doors, delivered to me in los angeles for 190K. MRSP was 165, so 25K over and guess what, its MUCH BETTER BUY, I have 5.5 years unlimited mileage warranty. Car hasn't even been broken in yet, so go forth and find a great deal like I did. Cant wait to get mine, arrives next Friday. No waiting for allocation lock, build, ship and 2-3 months later get it, LOL.

In California I believe you still have to pay sales tax? Even on a private party sale?
In Arizona, no sales tax so lets say msrp is 165k and you buy the car for 190k private party. Well, through a dealer, you would have had another 15ish k in taxes and fees. That is all avoided in AZ so your premium that you are paying is fairly minimal.
congrats on your car.

congrats, and smart move nothing wrong with a car with a few miles and warrantee extended with clear bra. The guy that purchased my UV RS last December also purchased a Aventador, and and MAC 570 all at the same time. Many wealthy guys have no issues with being the second owner on a clean car. I would say all GT owners really take care of their cars, and over board with the coatings and clear bras for cars they will keep less than 2 years. My first RS had 400 miles, and perfect spec I just waited for the right deal it will come. My incoming in got to go spec which arrives in NOV .....again congrats.

Last Sunday I was running some errands and drove behind the slowest GT3 for about 5 mins... literally going 15mph on a 35mph and I was thinking to myself... this is the kind of driver that I need to buy the car from... almost stopped him to inquiry. Nice chalk 18' GT3 at 85255... if you are out here, hit me ;-)

He was making signs for me to pass him... little did he know that I could care less if we were driving reverse ... just wanted to admire that car for as much as I could...

This is why I'm registering my GT3 in Montana as I can't stand paying for the ridiculous government waste in this deep blue tax and spend state. Pensions for public employees alone are ridiculous.
