Zach, while I agree with you on many points, Ferrari got in a bunch of trouble when a dealer charged over sticker and when the car went bad the customer demanded a full refund including the overage. Now the dealers are selling them and buying them back after six months and them charging a premium. I guess if the market will bear it then it becomes the cost of doing business. I have a very good relationship with my dealer and was lucky that I got their first Non 918 allocation. I also got their first 997.2 RS allocation and I continue my loyalty and promotion of their business. As a sales guy within this industry you have to balance the short term gain against the long term relationship which you lose site of when these "one off" cars come. I, frankly, would have no loyalty to any dealer that treats me like that and that means that you will always be viewed as just another option versus the "GO TO" guy which is how I view my dealer. They take care of me on my purchases and my service. I show up and all is always good. Do I care if they make a little extra here and there....no because over the long haul it all washes out. I don't mean this in a bad way, but I can tell from your photo at the dealer, you are young and by your thoughts, aggressive. For you everything is about the here and now. Things change as you get older and you will note that you are selling a car that mostly older people can afford. Good luck with your business. You will continue to change as we all did. You are in a great business so enjoy it!
What I tell a lot of my customers is I wish I could just get them all cars at MSRP. Reality check for me is i am a small dealership. I typically get One or none, of the high end cars. If i get one car and have 10 customers and none of them have purchased a vehicle from me, what do I do?
I really do respect everyone's opinion. We all have a right to it. I think others just get so mad they forget to put themselves in a different shoe.
If i had 5 GT3rs and could get one for each of my dedicated customers i would. BUUUUT I can't. Buyers forget its different when you only have 10 cars on your lot. and 6 coming in over the next 3 months. and you get 1 GT4, and 2 GT3, and 1 GT3rs..... funny thing is the majority of dealerships in the country don't have the problem because they don't even get the car.

Reality is, PCNA creates the demand, customers purchase cars of their own free will? I love this brand. I love my dealership. I am privelaged to sell what I honestly think is the best sports cars on the planet.
I know you probably don't care, but I am slightly offended you would feel like any of my comments made, are intended to be insult to any organization or even any single person.
Please clarify if you have the time. Thank you.

I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. I'm sorry if your feathers were ruffled sir.
I guess until an ADMIN deletes this i will ride the wave.
Thanks for the free advertisement though! haha Guess what, I may have a GT4 available too haha know anyone "on the list" at their local dealership getting strung along hoping for another car?? Have they ever actually seen the physical list? Reality check: The manager and the owner decides who gets the car.....not the list.
DAYYYYYYYSSSSS ago. I made a comment about knowing where an allocation for a GT3RS was because numerous members were complaining that they had not gotten a car yet.
People have reached out to me. The price that my manager has placed on the allocation is 50k. Honestly, why do you care. oh and your little note, you forgot to add 50k over on a GT3RS, one of 380 allocations available to the public, and you forgot to mention how many allocations were still available in the country.
How about I give you an updated picture sir! My customers love the service they receive from me and the GT3RS will be only the 3rd car Ive ever sold over sticker. I've never lied to any customer and have been up front with every single Rennlist member that's inquired with me out of their own free will.
Anything else you'd like to say to me? I'm at my desk for another hour sir.

Stay on it sir. I think Porsche will release a last small run of cars to top performing dealerships in their respective size/group of dealerships. Nothing official, but you never know.

there are lines not be crossed, no matter how much one disagrees with others statements, posts, etc.
posting pictures, personal information, etc. is a line not to be crossed

Some people just take this game a little to personal. It is easier to hide their criticism and back handed insults from behind a keyboard.

Folks, remember, this is Zach's personal Rennlist account. He is a Rennlister just like the rest of us. His opinions, and our opinions, of his Sales Manager's pricing mandates notwithstanding, we need to respect him like every other RL'er (except the trolls, of course).

Again sir, I'd come back to, Why are you offended? Are you trying to insult me? I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. I'm sorry if your feathers were ruffled sir.

I can erase that post for you,I don't see where the line has been crossed when it's all on Google.
You can charge all you want,but you won't be regarded very well by any enthusiast community.

Honestly, I am a little surprised so many LO cars are being ordered. But, the color options are dismal right now. And the interior color options for non-LO are also dismal.
(I love LO. Not as much as Pastel Orange, though.)
