Dealership backed out on an agreed price
#16
Here in So Cal, the dealer that sold me my C2S tried to sell me a 7MT GTS they had on the showroom floor. The GM gave me a pretty health discount. I didn't want the GTS, so they ended up getting my car from another dealer & still discounted it substainially. Not sure where you reside, but don't think that GTS's are that rare that one wouldn't expect some sort of reduction of price.
I will say that, in my coast to coast search for a deal on a leftover 2014 991, I don' t recall seeing a single leftover GTS out there.

Why make me spend over and hour with an agreed price? What a waste of time. I already ordered from the other dealership with a higher discount, but I would rather get less discount and drive the car home on that day. The sales manager should not accept my offer and said we got a deal without the GM consent. Anyhow, I'm just venting. I would think a verbal agreement would be good enough to reach a deal.

Obviously the only recourse is to go to the GM's house and burn it down.
With all the occupants inside.

I think he ordered the car at dealership B after he was turned down by dealership A. Dealer B means waiting longer, but lower price. Dealer A sells the car off the show room, but higher price.
Anyway, as a rule: written form on any agreement, and even then it requires both parties to want it.

At least the dealer told you about the clutch... I don't know. There are some signs here that the dealer is trying. Maybe the dealer's problem is more with the current owner than you.
If they recently did plugs etc, that's great news. Plus a new clutch. Total win. BUT without service records the dealer could be making all of that up.
If you continue to pursue this car get a PPI asap so at least you can know if the car is worth your patience.

Nothing binding without a written agreement. Only when you have given a deposit or other form of "consideration" do you have a binding agreement.
