Whats a reasonable 'friend' price on a GT3 allocation that is still configurable and 6+ months out for delivery?

As always, time is money
Supply and demand just amplify
If you want or need something sooner you will simply pay more, whether it's a dealership GT3 or an airline making bank on last minute biz class tickets, etc.
If you are willing to wait you can almost pick your price point, whether it be cars or anything else

🤦🏼‍♂️…..One off issue with incredible customer support… vs prevalent problems and quality control. Yup they are the same thing from a very narrow point of view.

Almost as bad as a Panny ? That's a BOLD statement, sir!

2018-2019 Turbo S is much more rare in today's market (I know, a different market) than a GT3 is. GT3 cars are flooding the market with supply. I'm even hearing GT3 owners are going into Taycans because they simply can't stand the ride quality.

The above is actually true. That said, I want a GT3. lmao

GT3 are made to deliver a visceral, thrilling and an exceptional driving experience which may not suit those who are looking for plushness and total comfort.
That said… i find the GT3s to be reasonably comfortable and i can easily use my RS as a daily if i wanted to .. even with the bucket seats. Smiles every second driving the car.

Oh- thank god it was just a one off issue that Porsche had to buy your car back. Phew. Makes me feel much better. Lol. Quite possibly the funniest thing Ive read in a long time. A user is complaining about the reliability of another car brand while his own car had to be bought back by the manufacture due to issues. Unreal.

How about instead of being so myopic, think that every single car manufacture has issues, Every car has issues.

I dont know what it is about this forum that it has more homers than any other.

I wouldn't argue with your latter statement. They're an investment in fun and mental health, that's it for me.
675LT’s are getting pretty hot now. Your pops lost 40% because he sold low and felt he had to sell. Same happens with real investments all the time. I could teach a master class in buying low and selling lower. Doesn’t say anything about the value of the 675. It’s a limited edition with a growing following.

Everything is hot right now. If we weren’t in this crazy climate then I’m sure 675s would still be just as low as they were pre-pandemic. He didn’t sell because he thought he had to, he sold because he wanted the 765 as the forever mclaren for his collection. Money aside, it was the right move. The 765 is so much better on the streets than the 675 was. Both are are brilliant overall but driving compliance is very much improved with the 765

Yeah, the want will be more on the 3RS and 4RS but again I'm not going to chase either of those cars and pay an ADM. I do want to experience a Speciale when things cool down a bit.

If you have the means and don’t care- nothing wrong with ADM. but don’t feel that you have to pay it to enjoy these cars. A bit of patience and flexibility on your part with regards to color and spec- lots of options available.
