Default GT3's

I am purchasing a 2018 Cayman S (~100K) and although they won't get any more allocations for the 2018 GT3's I am on the short list for the next round of GT3's probably 2019 models at MSRP. I guess everything I have read about establishing a relationship with one Porsche dealership is true. My SA said if he gets any GT3's on trade, which tend to be in great shape and with low miles he will call me. I just refuse to pay over MSRP. I guess my wife will inherit my Cayman S........

5 /10 /20 or 50 over msrp is just plain theft.
gentlemen hold out dont give in to there demands.
If all of us do this practice and not give in they wont sell and they
will sell at msrp how they should.
The only reason dealers do this is because there some guys with a ton of money
and they give in to these tactics.
STAY STRONG AND PATIENT.

I hope you all know Porsche reads this board, and actually laughs at the post. With the GT3.1 many said it was priced too cheap, and guess what .2 increased. Supply and demand will never change boys. GT cars will go over for many and nit for some that will not change ....they have the invisible list (we) can't see. I just watch and wait, and if I don't get what I want I buy another brand.

I'm with you brother. I know I won't get a call probably till around mid-2018. The first batch of GT3 wasn't a lot and most of them went to 918 owners and VVIPs so no need to panic. The next round of allocations will go to non-918 owners and non-VVIPs. I paid over for my RS and I'm not doing it with the GT3, I will wait. Just say NO to ADMs guys!

Just put my build in:

White
Manual
LWB's
Black Wheels
Black Headlights
Silver Belts
Red Marker on Steering Wheel
All the free stuff
Fire Extinguisher

V200 as of today. September Build, Nov Delivery.
I watched the Sales Manager put the manual build in the system first hand and it spit out v200 build date. Best part is that I'm paying MSRP.

Cant wait!!!

Actually you may be good getting the second batch. Most car manufactures get better mid-stream.

Yeah, like seeing if those first batch of GT3s have engines that catch on fire.

I am more than happy to take the second year of the GT3 production, or I'll just take an RS instead depending on timing.

Someone will money shift a manual at 9000k, and best believe it will not be good.

Another good reason I went the PDK route. And I can't shift as fast and consistent as PDK-S.

Ordered pccb but will buy Bremo steel rotors and Race Technology pads. Then hit the track.
