Dealer Markup
Guys,
I posted earlier about my dealer wanting $30k on top of MSRP as a premium for this car. I put my deposit down in November 2013 and have waited a long time for this car (#1 on dealer's list), but I am not inclined to pay this premium, and I could use your help.
Social media is a powerful tool for consumers, and what I ask is that you either PM me or post here the name of your dealer if you are getting a car at MSRP. I would like to tell this dealer the names of some other dealerships that are not taking this tact and feel that having the names of other dealerships that have decided the long-term value of the customer is more valuable to them than making extra margin on this car would be helpful.
Second, as I suspect this argument will fall on deaf ears, I need to find another dealership in the New York Metro area (within 200 miles) where I can put a new deposit down in hopes that future allocations will come through and I can get a car at MSRP.
This is so disappointing that i am beside myself. I have two Porsches now and got up at 5:30am to watch the live stream of the Geneva announcement because that's how much I wanted this car. To add insult to injury, the Sales Manager I spoke with two months ago (stopped in regularly) told me that other dealers might do this, but that they would not because the value the customer relationship. Unfortunately for me, that Sales Manager is "not longer working at the dealership."
Any help you can be here would be greatly appreciated.

Lava Orange Porsche 991 GT3 RS In The Wild
From the article:
This splashy paint costs an extra €2,653 and for the same amount of money the 911 GT3 RS can receive an Ultraviolet paint while silver and metallic hues are available without any additional costs. Regardless of paint choice, all cars are getting gray 20-inch front & 21-inch rear alloy wheels optionally available with a silver (€238) or a satin black finish (€577).

I suspect one of two things will happen. 1. Porsche will show you their appreciation for your business and you'll get your RS; or 2. They'll infuriate you to the point that you won't want an RS. In my personal experience, Porsche did the former which is why I'm on my fourth Porsche and hope to add many more to the list.

It is possible that this is the only set of allocations, or we get another set of similar size to the first, which takes you up to about 1,000 to 1,225 cars. A second set seems to make the most sense imo.
