Will the Recall Curtail demand for the GT3?
OK, I want a GT3 so bad I can't stand it. I don't care about the recall. Porsche will resolve the issue and life will move on. What I am hoping is that Some people will get scared and pull out of thier sale. Freeing up a few for the rest of us...
So what do you guys think, will the Recall effect the demand for these cars so I can get my Dream car? Oh and bring hte price back from the stars to at least MSRP.

I imagine there will be a number of cancelled orders.
I also imagine there will be new buyers lined up.
However, I think the days of paying over MSRP are now gone! No one can be that stupid!
Only time will tell.

If there is a fundamental design flaw in the engine or car I could definitely see this having an effect on demand. OTOH, something as simple as a fastener, bracket, or what-have-you allowing an oil line to come loose will have no effect whatsoever.
If it's the latter, for every buyer who is foolish enough to cancel an order based on a precautionary recall, there will be another to take his/her place.

Mine's built and I haven't wavered. Just getting a little impatient and not terribly impressed by PAG's handling of the matter in terms of keeping people apprised of the situation.
If it turned out that my engine needed open heart surgery and they knocked the rev limit down 200, then I'd likely pass. But not for a leaky hose.
Mike is yours back at the dealer?
I'd likely hold onto mine and leave it in my garage till the parts came in rather than let it sit for weeks at the dealer in an uncovered parking lot.

Just in general since the subject came up elsewhere, I asked about compensation if the car is out of service for any length of time, especially since I paid cash for mine. He indicated that is something that will definitely be discussed internally at Porsche. But as of right now PCNA is awaiting word from the Fatherland on just what exactly is the issue.
I guess we've all become waiters again....at least I can go out in the garage, sit in the car and listen to the stereo or make vroom-vroom noises.

frayed, Porsche called about 20 minutes ago. The rep offered to have the car flat-bedded to the dealer or I could keep it at home. I chose the latter; no point in having the car sit at the dealer when they don't know when they will have a fix in place or most importantly, whether my car is even involved. At this point, it seems Porsche are operating with an overabundance of caution. I'm obviously unhappy about not being able to drive the car but I have to say that I've had issues with recalls and such in the past and have never received this kind personalized attention.

You paid for it right, at least you can make believe GT3 driving...
