My friend stick with who you have.
Main line Porsche are no help.
Also all the rest.
They all want over msrp.
I made a relationship with a dealer 2 hours away.
I hope they will get me a car.
I all I have is hope no guarantees.

I got totally burned switching from Brumos to local dealer after I moved. If you want to attempt a change, keep deposits at both until the picture is clear.

PDK/MSRP
One dealer in Virginia suggested 60K over MSRP for PDK but if I offered 50K that would probably work???? Explain this to me. I want to pay cash for 170K car and they play games.....

How much over MSRP for a PDK GT3 are they asking?

Anyone from the Philly area have a different experience with PoTML or Porsche of Conshohocken?
Sounds like you haven't bought many cars from them.

Something I have learned when dealing with dealers, give them the same BS they give you. If they say they aren't aware of allocations you say, interesting because I was about to put a deposit at xxxx dealer for $2500 over MSRP, I am surprised you haven't received an allocation! Let them counter with what they're willing to sell the car for.

Wow big difference from the initial 60K then the "improved" 50K offer from the dealer in Arlington. In my opinion there is no car worth that kind of money.

Is this Porsche of the Main Line? What's their reputation like in the area?

With an offer of 60K over MSRP the dealership cannot be reputable. It is so profoundly unethical I would not do business with them under any circumstance. The reason I contacted them is I was searching online for dealerships with allocations for the GT3's and the dealership in Arlington Virginia stated they have "3 allocations for GT3's contact us for the details"......
I have a great dealership here in Texas and I will wait a year or so and try again. I have already ordered a 2018 Cayman S through them and they are straight shooters. I also have spoke at length with Alexander at the Porsche dealership in West Broward and he educated me on the whole process....he is a real gentlemen. His youtube videos are real informative as well. I guess in all professions there is the Good the Bad and the down right Ugly...

Just spoke to my SA and he told me that their first two allocations were going to VIP 918 customers. I asked when I could expect to get mine. That's when he dropped the bomb and told me that when an allocation became available, they would be looking for market price or roughly 30-40k over MSRP. He also threw in that they would be considering who is paying cash and who will be financing with them. The dealer just lost all integrity. I will be telling all my friends regardless of what kind of Porsche they are buying, to stay away from this dealer. I am a good customer and have had 4 Porsches in the last 8'years. I still have two and get them serviced there regularly. If I am unable to find a dealer who will sell me the car at MSRP, I will begin to look at cars outside of the Porsche brand. I'm really ticked off at this extortion BS. Dealer is South Bay Los Angeles.

South Bay is notorious for that. sorry to hear. Really they do not care and you shouldn't be surprised. They will sell all of them for over in that area and do not care about repeat customers. Next hot GT they will sell to a new set of folks for over MSRP.

Sorry to hear about this and best of luck.

I stopped by that dealer the other day. I'm on the list but they won't confirm what position. They also told me that if they offer it it will be about 10-20k over. Goes to show you how much BS is passed around. They can't even verify what they will charge over MSRP. By the way, they also told me they got "lots of allocations" without saying what that means.
