Default 2018 GT3 w manual

Hi Forum Crew,'
Well is just folley to think you can buy a GT3?

Hearing from the dealer they have a small factory allotment and all 918 owners have first right of refusal.

Thoughts?

Absolutely you can bobo--especially since I see you're in SoCal.

A quick $30-$40k over should handle that

Call around, you have some 'great' dealers all around you.

Yeah I forgot to mention I'm not really interested in paying that kind of premium....... that may make it tougher.

Unless you have a relationship with a dealer OR are willing to pay a premium, yes, probably not going to happen! You may get lucky, but those are the two most likely scenarios

I would sit tight; do not pay over MSRP for one of these early allocations; there will be plenty of cars to go around; and in this game, good things come to those who wait.

Agreed. I've never paid over. Gotten GT3/GT4/RS all for sticker. Just don't buy into the hype. Play the long game, especially now that Porsche is building these cars in increasing numbers.

You'll pay a premium one way or another.

"build a relationship with a dealer" is code for buy / trade-in several cars from/to them over a short period of a couple years, so they make a good profit from you. Key point being, the cars you'll buy from the mm to build the relationship are going to be regular series P cars whose allocations aren't limited and/or cars from their used car inventory, GT variants or otherwise on which they'll make good money selling them to you.

Or you can trade in a car they want (like a older GT3, RS, or GT4) toward the new GT3 allocation "at MSRP" that you want, but of course they'll give you a much lower price for the trade in than it's worth, and they'll flip it quick for a good profit, which is just another way you've paid the premium.

Or or you can just pay the premium and be honest with yourself about what you're paying for.

True in many respects, however getting 10K less for your trade-in than you could sell it for privately is still better deal than paying 30K over MSRP for .2 GT3.
