Bidding war...

******************
Frankly, we should see several more 'Fashion Grey' gt3s in the US dealer network shortly since we had a hard time identifying all ten of them initially:
'Fashion Grey / Modegrau'
1) Champion Florida. (Available. Asking $178,000 or $20K over MSRP)
2) Rusnak Pasadena (Available. Asking $198,000 or $40K over MSRP). Rusnak initially claimed it was 'Mexico Blue' and not 'Modegrau'!
3) New Country - Porsche of Greenwich. Supposedly will be sold to Jerry Seinfeld.
4) Gaudin Porsche of Las Vegas - (Sold to Rennlist user)
5) Porsche of North Houston (Sold)
6) Porsche of Stevens Creek (Available as of today)
7) ?
8) ?
9) ?
10) Assigned to customer known as 'Anonymous918' & who has two 918's on order! He is the only PTS gt3 in this group whose specs were totally modified from original. He is getting LWB, PCCB, etc. Along with the North Carolina buyer, I believe this PTS 'Modegrau' is an extra build and does not count against the original 10 'Modegrau' that PAG/PCNA originally thought to allocated to the US dealers on the reward program. But I don't have confirmation of that at the present time and is only speculation.

Forums are not for everyone. I am a member of many, and I only "hang out" in a few because the attitude of the general public in the others isn't really one that I share. But do I go in and tell them that they're all idiots? No. I just never post, and only go in when I need information about a particular item.
As I understand it by reading this thread, you've got your deal, so you're no longer "in competition" with those willing to pay over MSRP....so what's the deal? If I were in your shoes, I'd be happy that I got a deal over what others are willing to pay, and even happier that other's behavior means that your own car will be worth more at the end of your ownership. Lord knows I missed the boat on buying an air cooled 911...could have paid for half my kids college education had I bought a 993 turbo a few years ago based on what it's worth now.
I just don't get it. Why continue to be a source of negativity? What are you hoping to accomplish?

As someone who lurks in this thread to learn about PTS and absorb the general knowledge, and won't have the means or opportunity to order anything like a GT3 for a long time, I have to say your constant railing against those paying over MSRP is really tedious. You've made your point...move on. By now, you have to have figured out that your opinion is not shared by the majority of people in this thread, so why continue to beat your head against the wall? You're certainly not changing anyone's mind, and you're not winning friends, you're making enemies.

"Move on"
How ironic a comment coming from someone who has been beating the drum of the same point over and over.
I thought maybe a perspective from someone with no dog in the fight might help you see how your posts appear, but it would seem that is not enough. I shall move on from discussing this further with you, for sure.

The fact that I felt the need to raise my voice for the first time and say something should tell you how someone, definitely not in the 1% and with no dog in the fight for a GT3, views your repeated posts on the subject. I had hoped this might open your eyes to the fact that it's not the members posting in this thread being overly sensitive or defensive to your point as you have claimed. Even to someone like me, who chafed at paying MSRP for the Porsche that I do own, views your repeated mentioning of your point as tilting at windmills. Take it for what you will.

I think this thread is degrading into something unworthy of this forum. It's time to get back on subject. I have appreciated this particular forums integrity and ability to take the "high road." I don't think calling anyone out and placing them into perceived and generalized groups of your own personal definition is appropriate or productive. Time to let it go...

Right.
I am sad to have stumbled on this thread after the Modegrau came and went from Porsche North Houston. Are there any more in the Houston area? Would love to see one...

Not that we know of here on RL. A few of the FGs are still unaccounted for, per Ed's update a few posts up, so it is possible another will turn up in your area, but I would bet it's unlikely.

hlee: Don't try to shorten that boat ride and interrupt the important 'science experiment' Porsche is currently conducting with your beautiful 'Arena Red Metallic' gt3. The purpose of this 'slow-boat-to-China' adventure is to test how effective the new 'cosmoline' the factory is planning to use works on long sea voyages in super salty air conditions. So far, the 'Bangkok Highway' has been with your gt3 to the hot tropical Brazilian coast in the South Atlantic:
