Allocation + ADM?
#451
Who's harassing who? For my 2015, it well into the 991.1 GT3 production. I think many people will get their cars. Most will get them without an ADM; and still many others won't get one. I hope you're able to get whatever car you're after with good fortune. I also spec'd a 488 GTB and purchased it new. I don't exactly know what a 488GTS is?
Anyhow, buying a V8 Ferrari isn't necessarily hard nor special anymore. Nearly anyone could walk into a Ferrari dealer and buy a 488 back in 2018, 2019...and the F8 isn't anything spectacular either to demand any sort of waiting list. Sure the Pista and SF90 Stradale are sought after...but a 488, 812, Roma, Portofino, etc....not so much. Someone mentioned earlier about the value proposition of a GT3 being a sub-$200K vehicle....that bracket attracts a large buyer pool; less so once you cross $300K...the pool drops off the cliff.

And by the way, apologies to you if you think i am harassing you. After reading numerous posts from people boasting how they bought their GT3 without an ADM, I felt compelled to pile on. It is not my place to tell you what you already know. Please accept my apology earnestly.

Sounds like you are not an expert of Ferraris, a GTS is the designation for the convertible. A lot of speculation on your part...so I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not on any waiting list for a sought after $500k 812GTS...or a SF90, or an SF90GTS or a Pista Spyder. No question about the value proposition of the GT3, but to be honest with you I don’t get a lot people blowing hot air when they are talking about the $300k+ cars, especially a well spec 812GTS at $500k. You should feel fortunate and lucky that you are able to buy as many GT3’s that you have had and above all to be humble....

We are friends. I send them as many clients as possible via making connections (I'm in the high-end auto business as well) and have some mutual acquaintances. Not EVERY deal is as simple as how many cars you've bought or serviced. There is more to building a relationship than singular transactions. As I have stated, I have purchased 3 cars, now my upcoming forth....all spec'd by me, all at MSRP, none traded in. As I said, I've referred several of MY clients to him...and I have thousands in my business.
Motorwerksgroup - In what way are you affiliated with the Motor Werks Group in Illinois that owns Motor Werks Porsche of Barrington? ( https://www.motorwerks.com/ ) And, assuming you do have a relationship/ownership stake/employment/contractual agreement with Motor Werks Porsche of Barrington, has that relationship given you any advantages in your ability to order multiple Porsche GT cars (at MSRP) that most other buyers would not have?

These crazy car companies and their nomenclature.

really? Someone asked if anyone was getting these cars at MSRP. I answered. I would also be daring to say, that of the thousands of GT cars that will be produced, MOST buyers will likely get their cars without an ADM by the time the model cycle retires. The same held true for the 991.2 Manual cars...the ADM hype is amplified by forums such as this one, but the actual purchase poll that someone did on Rennlist just 4 years ago proved that most 991.2 cars that actually transacted were had at MSRP.

Got it so a RL poll asking people who paid ADM is now your fact base. Enough said is that is where you are getting your facts. EVERYTHING loves to post about the non ADM car they got. Not many post when they paid an ADM because either they are embarrassed or get blasted on said “factual” forum. Peace out. Enjoy your non ADM car but as I suspected there was more to your deal than just some random “good guy” dealer selling you GT cars at MSRP because you just popped in.
BTW, there are several reports of people obtaining GT cars at MSRP without extensive buying/trading history, mostly from smaller dealers in small towns during the past 991.2 cycle. These people didn't give any special treatment, maybe their timing was right, maybe that dealer received additional allocations later in the cycle, but your insinuation that such transaction can't happen or their MUST be some sort of quid pro quo isn't always the case.
