If you want one, having the car listed at 160 versus 170 isn’t really going to deter most people from getting one.
If it does one should not be buying one.

If a Dealer will get you an allocation for $10,000 over and you get to build it one would be crazy not to jump on it. The ADM game will go higher than $10,000 on this round. Too much money on the street right now

This shouldn't last too much longer. As Buffet says, "...be greedy when others are fearful, be fearful when others are greedy". Get'n pretty greedy out there!

I anticipate moving up the allocation list rapidly once the market reckoning is upon us!

I think Buffet drove a Cadillac CTS so I will ignore his advice when it comes to getting the new GT3 as rapidly as possible.

LOL

i think i shouldnt buy this thing, if im going to be concerned about a 8% difference in price its probably not in the right league of car for me. love the car andreas prunefinger. but its too expensive for me - as well as overkill for getting from A to B

Now that we have the number this is an interesting read.

Looks like I was 5% over.

I thought no way over 158k for small bump in horsepower.

But $161,100.00.

And expensive options Full buckets, Ceramic brakes, FAL, Carbon roof, headlights, leather. Real easy to get over 200k.

You are absolutely right - the PTS build I am closing in on tops $215 plus ADM. Seems like a lot to me but I am sure I will find some way to rationalize it!

Porsche still makes money on pre-owned Porsche's.

Do they price it between 155-160 and burst that GT3 bubble, or do they aim higher? The only drawback to them getting greedy and going higher is if there is a global recession and they are sitting there with cars piled up.
Bubble bursts when supply outweighs demand. New car with very little supply for the “common” folks” and the bubble could last. So they announce a price, start taking orders, and all of a sudden the 991 prices burst....not a chance

The price increase really isn't so bad if you factor in we now get keyless entry, larger rear wheels, better front suspension, better infotainment, CF hood, and larger iron discs, etc. I had probably one of the lowest spec 991.2 Touring back in '18, so will do the same this time around by opting for no cost paint in black or yellow, add FAL, big tank, red seatbelts and all the no cost options and call it a day. Total came to $166710, not so bad. I enjoyed the driving experience of the Touring just as much as my heavily spec '19 .2RS so adding $30 40K of options doesn't do anything for me. Won't get PCCB as the iron brakes are already bigger than last gen's and lighter too. I can wrap the seat center of the 4 way w/ black/red or black/white houndstooth fabric like last time, get mats w/ a red border to dress up the interior, then wait a year or so for the price to normalize so I can get it at sticker. Even though the GM of my Porsche dealership and I are on first names basis, I don't think I can get the car at MSRP in the first year, but he'll probably do it after the initial demand subsides. If you don't think Porsche will build as many cars as demand, think again.

Agree with this rationalization.

Question- wrapping 4 ways? I thought the seat inserts were only for bucket seats. Can you dress up 4 ways/18 ways without doing CXX?

Spent so much on other cars, had to cheap out on the Touring.

$30 worth of fabric and the center insert is real easy to remove once you find the two plastic tabs that hold it inside.
