Try Ralph Pierce at Inside Car Connection. He helped me and many others find a gt3.

This. Ralph found my 2015 when I couldn't find one around. Highly recommend getting in touch with Ralph.

At the moment the Euro to Dollar is $1.10. I started paying attention at $1.23. That is about 11%. I just don't want the dollar to be valued greater than the Euro. Would screw some investment's and ownership steaks up!

Oh I see what you're saying. They are loosing money in the transfer rate... Durrr..... Is that why Porsche keeps raising the price because their analyst saw this coming or they know people will pay the money for their product. They are over valuing their cars from new to start. I don't want Porsche to be charging as much for their cars as Ferrari does in 15 years. Thats where it seems it is going.

Porsche benefits from repatriating funds to a weaker currency.

at that exchange it may be worth looking at importing a classic back to the states, i assume that the air cooled spike has also affected europe.

Very true and they are not about to give that up. It can go both ways but for the last year in Porsche's favor. If you want to go back a year with the $/EURO ($1.30US/EURO):

Porsche will set the pricing and it will not come down, never has. This is like when we Californians are asked to conserve water, the water co sells less water so they raise the price/unit of it to the consumer to make up the difference. When the water shortage is over does the per unit price go down - of course not. It is just another benchmark price and up from there. Porsche, and most any other retailers, are the same. Just wait until the results of our recent hyper money printing habits take hold. We are in for some heavy sledding. I'm holding on to my GT and heading for the barn.

A good Porsche still costs far more in Europe than in the USA. On the other hand; you can get a fantastic deal on most Ferraris.

A lot of the high prices for a Porsche in Europe are due to very high import duties or value taxes. Look at the cost of one in Australia. Hate to be pessimistic but our government will figure that one out too, it's just a matter of time and negotiation with all the factors/parties involved.

Agree, they will not lower their price. I was just responding to TC's post.

Fun watching FX rates over many years. I recall the bad days of traveling back and forth to the UK with dollar/pound at 2:1, as well as the (short lived) good times of the Euro below parity.
