Where are you located? Maybe someone can put you in touch with a good dealer as well.
I'm in Texas. Appreciate any help! I called all the dealers here in Texas and the only one that has one wrecked it on the test drive! Was a perfect guards red build too!

Late to the GT4 party? Maybe if you want one right now but otherwise I'm sure you'll get one if you are patient. Somewhere, neanicu's head is spinning.

Patience and persistence. Ralph Pierce (rep77777@yahoo.com) is a good guy and very helpful. And you've got some trusted sellers with gently used (and basically new) beauties right here on RL.

Good luck.

Not sure it will be possible to get a GT4. All the dealers I called have about 4-5 times more deposits than allocations! Even after some drop off for whatever reason it sounds grim. Time will tell I guess.

Same thing happened with the GT3 but the people who really wanted one and were patient/persistent got one. Welcome to Porsche.

There are several people on here who have broken their cars in by the book. I changed my oil at 1000 mi. and have kept the RPMs below 4200. Currently at 1925 mi. with only 75 miles to go to complete the break in. If you find one like this you will save the pain of keeping it below 4200 for the first 2000 mi.

As they say buy the seller.

I won't be waiting that long to let it rip, life is too short. 500 or so miles and then out to COTA.

I just can't wrap my head around 150k for a used car - just personal preference I prefer new.

Yep. I tried to buy from both of those dealers. One wanted 20k over and the other 15k.

I think you'll see a bunch up for sale shortly as guys who are getting RS will want to move theirs during spring. Mine will likely be for sale shortly.

Porsche of Westwood (Norwood, MA) has a blue car listed. No idea if it's still available.

Just look at a pre-owned Ferrari or McLaren - $150k will seem like a bargain!

Newport contacted me and offered it to me at sticker... I think price was $156ish
