Cool, let them chase the market down. The ones that really want to sell their cars will and stealers like Auto Gallery will wait for their unicorn buyers.
You love to call Auto Gallery a stealer, yet I don't see you use that term for some of the other dealers on here that are also asking over MSRP for their RS', including at least one site sponsor. Are they not stealers too? Why not call them out as well?
A number of dealers that people rave about on here 'oh they're the best, call Jim, they'll take good care of you' that have RS's for sale over MSRP right now. Why not mention them?
This LO shows make offer which could be had probably close to MSRP specially with all the added stuff he has and all the folks who wanted the RS are not biding. Oh, I can't get an allocation, oh I hate Porsche. Oh what a scam.
Agreed, but I think what you're seeing is an illiquid market become highly illiquid due to recent stock market movements. The sell out of these cars is likely to be really herky jerky and sporadic. Right buyer meets right seller at just the right time. Gonna take a while.
Demand is exceeding supply right now, hence the markups. If anyone is to blame it's PAG and PCNA.
The name-calling doesn't really solve anything. The bubble will burst, don't worry. Porsche hasn't stopped making cars or releasing new models, trust me. They are more money hungry than the flippers.
I know you said if you had an opportunity to acquire a 911R you would track it. Is that for real, or you would FLIP it to AG for some ridiculous amount of money? Maybe even get your 991 GT3RS for MSRP?

I don't buy cars to flip them...I buy them to drive them and most of them I have taken to the track. All the Porsches in my signature have been tracked (GT3 only 2 sessions but still). I'm a driver, not a collector or flipper.

It looks like a strippy. Probably sticker price in the high $180 to low $190 range?
The seller conveniently edited the build sheet to leave out the price, but it appears the car was originally from Canada (Ontario), so you'll have to do the currency conversion and add import duty/transport, etc., to figure what the US$ value would be. I reckon the markup is still over $75K on this car, given the favorable exchange rate. $212K Canadian = $155K USD at the moment. Base price on the RS in Canada is $200,700 Canadian, or about $147K USD, so this car has about $8K USD in options.

Probably because they are local to us in SoCal.
If martin lived in SF it would be whoever is in mooty's signature.
The discrepancy gives me the idea "some" of these EBay ads are not the direct sellers or flippers but more like "agents" acting as "middle men." I wonder how much commission these "middle men" get from actual owners? Drive safe, GT3RS-Fan1
