Did you call Auto Gallery and Beverly Hills?

I know a guy who just last week sold his 2015 agate grey GT3, with ceramics, 3,500 miles, MSRP $157,000 to a SoCal Porsche dealership for $164,000. He made a nice bit of money on the deal.

You live in California where there is no tax benefit to trade in your car at the dealer, particularly when buying a different brand. So buy your lambo from the lambo dealer and sell your GT3 to a California Porsche dealer.

Which stealer? I wouldn't mind trading in my 2015 low option LWB GT3 $140k for $145k.

In California, there is no reason why any clean 991 GT3 with low mileage should sell for less than MSRP at a Porsche dealer.

I will answer PMs on the dealer, but I don't want to just post the name on this public forum, and have this adversely affect the guy who just sold them the GT3

In california, a 2015 GT3 with LWB, and low miles, should still net you a profit at the right Porsche dealer.

Guess the decision comes down to whether you think you'll ever get an .1 RS for MSRP.

A couple of months ago I was offered MSRP - $10K on my trade..which is about right given the tax credit I would get if I bought a car simultaneously.

Funny- Are we all no different than the Stealers?

I do not like Dealers but they are a necessary evil. In the end- do not fool yourself- it is just business

I'll be honest...I much rather sell the car to someone on RL for $140k and not give a stealer like Auto Gallery or Beverly Hills sell it for $150k+.

OP - you can probably split the difference between MSRP and the offer by selling on RL; probably only take a few days.

I wouldn't buy a can of coke if I was dying a thirst from those two vampire shops.

PS...I'm actually a Brojan, best of both worlds.

Momma says if you are really thirsty, you should drink water anyways.

I am guessing Martin went to UCLA (Bruins) and USC (Trojans). Similar syntax would make me a Marauding Blue Mustang! Since you are Canadian (me too) you can figure that one out yourself! The true 'murcans will never crack the code.
