A man with principle is a stand up guy no matter the size of his checkbook, how loud he can bark, or is first to have the latest "hot" car.
Thanks. I know I'm not the warmest, fuzziest, guy here because I like to call BS when I see it. There are some things that always set me off. Stealers, flippers, and snobs are at the top of the list, so I should probably avoid this thread.
Porsche Chandler? Cuz I know it's not Scottsdale North.
Haha no kidding there! Pardon my French, but PNS can eat ****. They had an opportunity to earn my business on a GT4 and tried to pull some seriously sideways shenanigans. I will never buy a car from them. Went down the street and got an Italian instead . Now they are really screwed because they don't have a monopoly on PHX/Scottsdale anymore!
Not Porsche Chandler either, although I've heard decent things about them. I have a relationship with a great midwest dealer (back where I'm originally from).
Lol. We are going to get along just fine because I can say the EXACT same thing (except for the listing homes thing, but close enough)!
Listing/buying homes or replacing hips/knees, it's all the same and provides us the good fortune to have this fun hobby. My buddy (from the track) Terry hooked the both of us up on Endless pads and fluid too.
Mooty, I love my Raptor. That's how we roll in Texas.
Bought the new gen Raptor a few months ago to replace the work truck. Absolutely adore it. Coolest part is I don't have to go around roundabouts anymore
Was this picture taken at they Raptor Performance Driving Class in Utah? They started doing free two day classes in Utah for new Raptor owners. Just booked my class for June
Yes, at the Raptor Performance School--first session last week in Utah. They had a professional photographer and give us a thumb drive with 500+ photos of the sessions.
I got butt raped on OVER msrp on the GT3RS.
I paid 5k over for the raptor since i didnt want to wait.. great daily driver.
Hahaha you aren't the only one. There are plenty of us here. I for one will happily keep and continue to drive my RS. I love it. I loved customizing it and being the first owner and taking delivery.
Worth every penny...until someone on the 991 board ordered a GTS in UV. WTF?!?!

Ditto my friend, I also bent over for the UV RS but like you I got to spec the car EXACTLY how I wanted with no extra fluff. Well worth it.
Was a dealer today that isn't really "tuned into" the forums. Asked about .2 GT3 and MSRP, locals, etc. He threw out $25K over. I really believe that these over asking prices are totally conjured up and spread among dealers.
Obviously the demand is there, but he knew about the $25K that's been floating around.
He mentioned many owners and GM's have changed their tunes and don't want to leave money on the table. I mentioned customer loyalty, but he just said "that's what they're going for".
Also mentioned, many calls coming in from CA guys asking about MSRP deals
The interesting point is most dealers had a broad list of potential buyers for months or years and elected to blow those guys off and sell their allocations. This also denies a potential owner the ability to order a car that had what he/she wanted options color etc.

Well considering the CA is home to the most number of stealers in the US that's not surprising. The one of the midwest dealers (they only sell to locals for MSRP) that I'm working with called those CA guys calling "sniper" buyers and he tells them they only sell to locals (I'm an exception because one of his biggest customers called in a favor on my behalf and asked him to put me on his lists). If they get me a GT3 allocation, I'm flying out there and buy the entire dealership lunch, taking the GM to dinner, and will give him a nice bottle of booze. He was one of the GMs that got the troll call from Auto Gallery and told them to pound sand.
Not that I would put much stock in this but I read in one of the car magazines or Hagerty I cannot remember which that the previous Gen raptor with the V8 6.2 will be a classic/collector truck[/QUOTE]
I can not agree more, I still have my 2013 and no plans on getting the new version since it does not have he V8 also not SVT anymore either .
I know of 2 places you can get it for dealer invoice or $50 over invoice but you have to wait since there is a list that dealers actually go down the list.
my next house im building will be able to park my truck in the garage finally
