Of all the three late allocation PTS gt3s, these have been the most elusive to find in the US dealer network. I posted the following on 5/22:
"Of the possible ten (max) late '15 allocations to be done in 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau' for the US market, we have identified one for a Rennlister sold via dealer in Las Vegas, one ordered by '918 Anonymous' via the 918 VIP program, one at Champion in Florida, one at Rusnak-Pasadena (the color blind folks!), one with the Todd Blue 'IndiGo' Porsche dealer organization and a possible one destined for Jerry Seinfeld in Connecticut. None of these, to our knowledge, has yet been delivered to their customers here in the US. If anyone knows of another one of these late '15 gt3s in 'Fashion Grey' that is not mentioned in the list above, please let us know!"

This is the one we previously mentioned heading to Todd Blue's 'IndiGo Group' at Porsche of North Houston'. It was first reported to us as a vehicle reserved for GM Kelly Wolf's use & not initially meant for sale. But they apparently changed their minds & put it up for sale when it arrived...albeit at a hefty $20K mark up over sticker! The other late PTS gt3 obtained by 'IndiGo Group' was Msmatt's 'Signal Green' at Porsche of Rancho Mirage in California.

Others have paid this premium and are currently enjoying their cars..
And yes, the sponsorship fees are steep for someone in my position.
I pay $650 per month out of my own pocket to have the opportunity to present our inventory to this community. Money well spent in my case!

The premium is due to availability, as everyone's aware.

To my knowledge no ARM have arrived Stateside yet. Seems out of the 30 PTS, ARM were the last off the line. My ARM is due to arrive within 2 weeks and my VIN ends in 63. Anybody with a higher VIN?

I paid MSRP for my Paint to sample and walked on many deals calling for over MSRP. I was patient and it paid off. When people " bitch/moan" that dealers are charging over MSRP I never blame the dealers. I take issue with the buyers that must have it now attitude with more money than brains. The car will sell as I'm sure you will find some little rich boy that must have it now.
BS on all the above. Everyone of these cars with the exception of maybe the ARM versions went immediately to favored customers or for sale at over list. Dealers are not fools, they know what the market will bear and I would wait out for the right buyer if I'm the dealer. It's a free market, and we have to thank Porsche for making this a sellers market.

Well, you say that as if a- finding one was easy (was not!), b- the dealer that had rec'd the PTS car had no buyers, and c- you could just wait it out and wear them down.

I said I walked on every deal over MSRP
What are you calling BS on ?
I am a free market guy too. I posted that I do NOT blame the dealers, but rather the buyers with that must have it now attitude. The dealers are only responding to the demand of buyers.
Are you sure you read my post ?

We are saying the same about the seller and buyer situation- it's an artificial sellers market created by Porsche.
