He messaged me on FB and told me this car was 249k lol. I told him 210-220 seemed more in line with market. Left it at that, 226 def more reasonable

 

I understand the ADM game, but why not just advertise the actual asking price? Seems like a waste of customer's time.

 

They thought I was a sucker that doesn’t have access to google and BAT

 

A lot of dealers trying to control the market. GP, RFMC, Merit. The speed yellow car sold on BaT for $246k & was listed on GP for $349k before being dropped to $299k. Their in the hunt for the next sucker.

 

I'll call it "bait & annoy". They forget who is walking in with $200k++ to spend. We're not exactly dummies. Well, most of us.

After unimpressive experiences with two sales associates at Porsche Marin, I was ready to hire a broker. Connections on RL saved the day. I'm done with games.

 

I’ve definitely noticed this trend of niche/boutique dealers trying to buy up the whole supply to control the market and inflate prices. Carrio has been buying nearly every Black Badge Dawn on the market, they have like 7 and the rest of the country combined has like 3-4.

 

Am i the only one who has noticed a bad tone with GP? Some guy there was arguing with me about 991.1 engine issues and how the GT3 engine was completely fixed before the 2016 RS ever came out - told me I was wrong 5 times in a single email. Lol

 

GP has always been solid! Bought a few cars from them and look forward to buying more cars from them. Never had an issue!

 

are there not known issues (not all of the same as the .1 GT3 but still some) with the .1RS up until engine g05xxx?

that was my understanding from some readings and they acted like I was an idiot for suggesting

 

I understand what you are saying. In this wild competitive market, salesman or saleswoman simply aren't going to start debating engine issues etc. We, the consumer, do the research. We know the spec we want etc. We make a call and if we can get close, we grab it! Tech talk, and I respect where you are coming from, isn't going to get a dealer to drop their price etc.

 

to be clear, i wasnt trying to use it as leverage. i was asking them to confirm the serial, at which point they argued with me why i should care about it since there was no potential issue with a .1RS engine.

anyway, the guy responded like a true a$$$$$$ lol

 

Keep'em coming! Or share your searches? :P I randomly check so it seems I'm always a day late. Especially with the dealer CPOs. Always "sold in the first day" responses. Hopefully it's not the non-porsche dealers buying them up and selling them for higher prices.

 

Are there really only 750 of our GT3 tourings???

That means there are more S/T 911s than the 991.2 GT3 touring???

 

~750 991.2 Tourings in North America....no global number exists that I'm aware of, but I've seen 2100-2300 mentioned several times....so, S/T is ~90% production of 991.2 GT3T.

I think the fact there is 2x as many S/T as the R is the more interesting production comparison

 

PTS ones will hit 400k soon enough IMO
