I wonder if these dudes are paying $50K over sticker for their car. My son and I actually had a pretty fun time with them at the Fontana facility.

If they're buying all their P cars from the same dealership that amounts to a decent sum of business, probably enough to skip the ADM for some segment of dealerships. The again, they're using these cars for profit so paying ADM might not really sting for them. About 500 laps = $30k

You say making out well, but let's face it, if you want to keep getting MSRP deals from your dealer, you will be a good boy and trade it back in for the newest one next year. They will give you 10-20k under market at that time on the trade. So you are paying it one way or the other. Unless you are like me and keep them all. 
And I'm just gonna say, I haven't bought my Porsches at the same place. Annapolis, DTLA, Napleton just a few names. Go with the best deal. If folks buy out of state, better chance of getting dinged on ADM, possibly.

*** Automotive released a study this week showing just how receptive buyers are to higher prices. Forty percent, *** found, would not shy away from being charged a 12 percent premium. Given that the average new-car MSRP in the U.S. is almost $42,000, that means four in 10 people would accept a price that’s $5000 more than what the sticker says.

Have never understood the focus on ADM from the dealer nor buyer side. If I have the “first spot” for an allocation at Napleton, but someone offers them $50K over MSRP, I’m not sure I could honestly blame the dealership for taking the $ and bumping me as long as I still got an early allocation for whatever financial terms I was promised.
On the other hand, if someone can easily afford a massive ADM (not me), more power to them...I just won’t have sympathy when they get killed on trade-in a year later.
I stopped begrudging other peoples finances sometime ago… as a nephrologist, I work (a lot) more and make (much) less than many of my neighbors who are mostly traders and fund managers which used to bother me. Now I’m just happy to have a very rewarding career and make a comfortable living albeit one that doesn’t allow for ADM’s or RS cars 🚙

Yep, that's my experience after talking to a couple of dealers that I've bought / leased from. Or wait a few years for a car. I would've been happy to trade my low miles 2018 C2S immediately (they literally have no 911 on the lot for sale) but no one asked lol.

Read it all here: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...ver-msrp-cars/
Seems appropriate analogue to the housing market.

So just order a GT3 from every dealer in the land, like everyone else?
I remember 2010RS 3 deep at the dealer at MSRP after 75K over two years prior.
sold my 2007 GT3 with 17K miles for $78K, it’s more today but we will see in 2022..
I’ll start with all the dealers in Florida and work
myself north and west from there. All the same spec in a couple different colors I can’t make up my mind.
Ill do the same for the Z06, see how thy develops next year.

Are you back on the Porsche bandwagon? I would have thought you already have an allocation reserved if you wanted one. PCNA should make sure their Ambassador has one.
