You should have asked him..."where do you think you are, in California?"

It was funny because when he was talking to me on the telephone he said.....let me go over away from the main area so no one hears me.....that's when he said 45K over MSRP "may" fly but he would have to present it. So he has to tell me secretly because there are umpteen people in the dealership that would jump up and say me too........It's nice to be treated like an idiot. I told him it would be a cash deal and he laughs.....he says I get at least 4 cash offers for MSRP everyday..... What best describes this situation.....well.....ethically and morally bankrupt....
Oh by the way they are still advertising those 3 allocations on the website....

Sounds like some of the salesman I sweated over the years negotiating for cars way below MSRP. I would say close to Invoice!
At some point they wouldn't take it anymore and would bring reinforcements or give me the " I'm going in the back to speak with the manager and be right back ".

What may happen is that they take the allocation....drive it around keeping the miles low then turn around and try to sell it used pricing it north of the MSRP.....or they will find someone crazy enough to go way over MSRP.

I did get a call from my dealership today regarding a 2016 Agate Grey GT3 with 3800 miles....I am considering it they are asking original MSRP plus tax/plus all the other fees....around 166K. The car is already wrapped and has LED PDL, leather/alcantara interior with red stitching, front end lift and allot of other high end finishes....considering it. Really wanted Guards red exterior......looks hot.

I went in a couple weeks ago and he told me "60-100k over sticker for a nonbuildable allocation." I kicked my head back and laughed in his face then walked out. Now I have a buildable allocation at MSRP with PTS if I want (which is awesome since this will be my first Porsche). You'll find one

I thought my story was bad....yours is pathetic. Some SA's, certainly not all, think they rule the world. I even think the title "Sales Ambassador" sounds ridiculous. I think some "SA" feel with that title they have the right to be condescending and dismissive.......
Though, my sales person is down to earth, and both helpful and responsive.....

Despite the hysteria and RL myths, I've yet to encounter a dealer selling over MSRP anywhere I am on a list for GT4RS/GT3/GT3RS/GT2RS.

Avatar pic is beautiful. I just don't understand why Porsche just lets it happen... if the demand is high.. bump up the price till people don't get PTS? For example.. if they only have 200 PTS slots, and there are 500 people asking for it at 6k, increase it until only 200 say ok, I'm willing to drop this amount of money for this?

Or am I being extraordinarily naive?

You don't live on the west coast (stealer capital). I'm hoping one of the 3 good guy dealers that I'm working with comes through for the GT3.
