Again, same contact has a configurable RS (Porsche dealer). It will be over MSRP, not sure how much. I can pass on info to anyone interested. Freeze date is in 4 days I believe with Aug or Sept delivery. You may PM me for details. I am getting no benefit from posting this.

AC, I think eventually all dealers will mark these over, otherwise they will be left behind. Sign of times.

I gotta ask.. Don't you guys hate having to pay over msrp? On principle alone I refuse ..

It seems as though, many of you here have a solid $ tree (mine hasn't fully matured yet, :P) So I find it shocking that paying over MSRP is readily accepted...

I have friends and family who have wealth, but they would never even entertain such an idea, so I guess I'm put-back, by the general acceptance on this forum....

I hate it with a passion. But at some point if every car is above msrp and you want the car. Then what?!?

Manufacturer SUGGESTED Retail Price...

Funny I never hear anyone complain when cars are sold at a discount from MSRP. But isn't that essentially the same thing... a price being adjusted for market conditions? I don't really care to sell something for less than what it's worth, why should a dealer?

FWIW, I think the prices have gone to the point of insanity... a level which I'm not willing to pay. But if others are willing to pay it, more power to them. I guess we'll see how smart they were in a couple years.

Thanks Jon. Clearly nowhere near sticker. I love the free market and believe in it but kinda sad. But..it is what it is and thanks for sharing.

No one wants to pay over MSRP. It's needing to have to if you want to secure one.

A thing is worth what someone is willing to pay. At the moment there are people that think these cars are worth $250k!

I don't think it is. So I'm not buying. Simple.

Is a 996rs worth $300k? Is a 73rs worth a million. Not to me. But some think it is.

Do I think there will be better times to buy these cars? Yes!

Chrystal ball?????? Anyone have one that works?

Might be interesting to start a thread around new allocations (there are some trickling in) and whether they were MSRP or over. I'll bet a significant number are paying at least something over MSRP, but there will always be those that purchase enough with a particular dealership and have a strong enough relationship that they get MSRP most of the time. It's an interesting dynamic - market price actually discourages loyalty and promotes a competitive marketplace for pricing. I would think that will not be tolerated long term. Some will jump to other brands, and competition for business will drive prices down enough so that units can be sold - important for dealers to maintain sales to get future allocations. Some of the craziness now is likely the speculation over the timing of "the last N/A" offering. I'm thinking it will cool off and go back to normal when we get to the 992 gen. All conjecture on my part.

My dealership offered me $65K over MSRP last week and I declined. I am having too much fun with the car. What does it tell you if the dealers are paying over $65K over MSRP. Thats the going price. Since there will not be a GT3RS for next 2-3 years the price will keep climbing specially after all the existing cars are sold.
