Sale Mgr told me they got $75k over for their first two RS allocations (after 918 owners)--class acts they are.

that has been my experience at that same dealer, not recently, but in the past.

they have a senior tech their named Cliff Blackshear that is a scientist and artist with his work. Huge fan. Other than that, no good experiences there.

geez, in reading this thread, my 15 gt3 at sticker to my specs with LWB is looking better and better...

Geez, it sounds like they are habitual offenders. $75k over for an RS is nuts!

A 15 gt3 at sticker is very nice, I tried to buy 7 2015 GT3s for sticker and came up empty! How was your experience with Park Place?

with my 11 GT3 and 15 GT3s, great... haven't been able to get an RS though, which is annoying and surprising to me... although I have been told don't worry, there will be another crop of RS cars, im at the top of the list, etc... we shall see.

Hard to disagree with you here. I had a similar problem with Brumos Porsche years ago and I never let the dealership and PCNA hear the end of it.

That is good to hear, they confirmed yesterday that they don't sell over MSRP which is encouraging. They also told me don't worry on the GT3 that they can get me one which is good news.

Well I'm sure they will take 'good care' of you

BTW, PP stands for Pure Profit, just FYI.

My sentiments exactly! I originally wanted a GT3 but unfortunately I did not get allocated one. Was on the list for the RS and again was not sure I'd get one. I must say I was not sure about the RS and I really wanted the GT3. When I was told I could flip my RS deposit to a MY2016 GT3 I didn't hesitate. For me the all round ability of the GT3 and the fact that you can use it as a DD (not that I would) is a winner. I do track my cars but there is no track here where I live near Durban on South Africa's East Coast. I have to go up to Johannesburg to Kyalami which is a 5 to 6 hour drive. Bottom line is I'm absolutely thrilled to have secured a GT3. I've driven many Porsche's including the 991 GT3 but never owned one.

I would rather wait and do business with another dealer.
This is basically where I ended up with Paul Miller yesterday. They wanted to charge me over MSRP and I didn't want to pay that, so no deal. I have a few other dealers clamoring for my business at MRSP. We'll see if their stories hold if and when they secure an allocation.

I am shocked that Porsche dealers in the U.S. are allowed to sell new cars at a premium. Now I know why you guys often refer to them as "stealers"!

Congrats!! I've still got hopes that my local dealer will get an allocation. At least I hope they get one & fill my demand order that is. I maybe naive that they are reputable....who knows that they already have a build & will give it to the highest bidder.

I have MSRP on the signed contract in writing, so I could press the issue but I doubt it's worth the aggrevation. I'll likely just wait for an honorable dealership to get one.
Does anybody have an email address for PCNA so I can share my issue with them? I can't find it on the web.

Eidt.. is this it?customer.commitment@porsche.us

Read what Eduardo wrote in below thread and I believe she oversees subcontracted customer commitment services as well.

Get in contact with Kristen Weaver with PCNA to file a complaint.
