Default Reality Check with the 991.2
This guy is selling his allocation for 55k over sticker. Sounds like a GREAT deal since it comes with the manual transmission and PTS!!!

Make him eat it. No way I would pay that for a GT3 as you will eat 100% of the ADM.

People like this is why dealers went to mark-ups. I can only hope the dealer cares and gives it to someone else.

What if this guy is paying 25k-35k over MSRP? As you can see the car ALREADY has 75 miles on it. Must mean he wants to enjoy it for a week and make a few grand lol

Probably a dealer ad - need to spread the hysteria. RL is a big part of spreading it too...

Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Current MSRP of the highly optioned car on order is $179,000.00 I'm selling the car at $55,750 over MSRP for a total of $234,750.00

I'd hate to see a BAD deal lol.

For that kind of money you could buy a low mileage CPO 991.1, drive it for 3 years risk free, install headers, a roll bar, wrap it a few times, and then pay to have the top end rebuilt after flogging the living snot out of it at every track in the country.

Or you can get this car.

They do. If they find out who it is they'll have their order cancelled and be blacklisted.

Some people work hard for a living, some people don't. Good luck to him.

It takes two to tango - someone also needs to buy the allocation at that marked-up price for the scheme to work.

That sounds like the start of a joke - A greedy person and a stupid person meet on Autotrader. . .

They might find someone. I know of a person that sold an allocation for an i8 for 100k. A stupid i8. He was 'in' on the scheme with the sales guy and split the money.

PCNA is aware of this. It is a big deal to them. I hope they come up with a solution.
