lol, damn, lowly lawyers being uttered in the same sentence as celebs and billionaires? I'm a lawyer. However, I managed to get on the top 1x (all initial order) of an LA area dealer. So maybe your statement does ring true, lol.

But, Beverly Hills is a joke. They just order and spec their cars and then send out an email to their list asking for over.

Haha see


I am sure there are some celebs or billionaires that can put pressure points on the owners of Beverly Hills Porsche.

My salesman told me today, you know most dealers are asking for $50k over...I told them I want my car at msrp or don't want it. I'm not playing the game. Lot of nice cars you can buy out there

You all know these "mark ups" are all conjured up and spread like wildfire. Some dealers come up with a number out off their rear and it spreads among all the dealers.

Was at a dealer yesterday and talking to a sales mgr. He does not follow forums. Yet, the $25K mark up came up. "That's what most dealers are doing". "The owner says, if we can get the extra $$, we should".

Was a newer guy where I service. Other questions included where I bought my last two Porsche's. Answer was: Out of state.

Why give any dealer loyalty?? I shop for the lowest prices. In the long run, I save money rather than overpay and hope to "buy into" a relationship only to get the shaft in the end.

Screw them. Give me the best price, or I'll search nationwide.

There will be plenty of GT3's to pass around at MSRP if your patient but if you want to be the first get ready to pay up

IMO
PAG, Dealers, Salesmen, etc. DO NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT YOU, ME, OR THE GUY NEXT DOOR.

It is that simple. THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING CARS, NOT MAKING FRIENDS. They can, and should, sell them for whatever the market will support. Supply and demand. None of us are entitled to a damn thing.

IMO, there is way to much bitching going on about prices, etc. I'm buying a .2, but my choice is to wait it out until the "flavor of the month" has run its course. That's my choice. I'm not complaining. It's just the way it is.

All these price threads should be shifted to a subcategory as its cluttering up the forum. Again, just my opinion.

I believe it's a Canada thingy here.

Initially I thought "oh man, here I've been in line for years and they are asking _over_ msrp. Then I got a few more offers from other dealers (unsolicited and solicited), and realized 20k over was actually a decent deal.

BTW, a reputable east coast dealer says they can get me a car/allocation, so if anyone is still looking and serious about placing an order, PM me. No promises, but happy to email you with the dealer in question.


Thanks man! I've owned a lot of cars over the years, but this is the first time doing a custom order

TL;DR: GT silver, PCCB, buckets — the usual suspects. Also two CXX items (still to be approved by Porsche): espresso leather interior and deletion of bucket seat insert stripes (those weird "gt3" graphics they added to the seat inserts) Maybe I'll get a no on those. We'll see

Nice build! Gonna change to MT later? or sticking to PDK?


Custom color interior is soooooo expensive.


You'll most like get an ok on getting rid of the seat stripes, but I'm just not sure you'll like the price. If they have a low price option, great, if not expect to pay the full custom LWB CXX option, but that means you'll be able to custom it fully, like 911R houndstooth seat inserts, seat piping, etc.

rsms

Order is for MT, but the configurator does't have it yet. MT FOR LIFE!

We'll see what they say. If it's too many greens I'll just stick with black. No big deal. Thought it would be fun to get something personalized. Never done this before so _no idea_ how expensive it will be.

Ooohhh... Me wants the houndstooth inserts *drools* ...but only if I can keep my remaining organs.

Yup I'm not not going back to him either (though he hasn't called..)

chaosoul

Yea manual won't be available for awhile, I hope they gave you the right build month for MT, because they are not building manuals in July, August, and first half of Sept.



Custom interior leather you're looking at 8-11k


Fully custom LWBs you're looking at 7-8k


Be prepare to pay 200k (including ur ADM) before tax and fees.....

rsms

Yup. I'm Swedish myself, so aware of the July-Aug industrial shutdown in Europe Dealer says MT production starts in Sept and best-case scenario I'm taking delivery in December; worst-case in Feb 2018. That's okay I think.


Oh, really? What brings you to that rough number (just curious) ? 8k would be too much for espresso I think. <=5k would be acceptable (on top of the extra cost for the black leather package) IMHO.

chaosoul

I've done over 60 CXX options before.


The prices varies all the time, on models, year, specific requests.


For example, custom red interior on RS was over 10k. (This varies a lot request to request)


The LWB seat is more standard and a lot has been done, they're 7-8k, its been changing from GT4, to RS, to 911R. A lot of time you will also be surprised at your final build when your car eventually comes, because it may be different from what they quote you. Just giving you a heads up.




There are still quite some GT3 build in July though, not much in August. If your dealer have already submitted a build in there system, you should ask for a V200 status that means the allocation is confirmed, then it would mean you are actually allocated in a particular month, make sure your build doesn't fall on early September or else you may not be able to option MT even when it becomes available.
