I agree that this seems like a fair current rate for an allocation, although it never hurts to negotiate. I also agree with usctrojanGT3 - you should confirm what options are currently blacked out and think hard about whether you want them. While an allocation is ideal, you might be able to find a fair price on a used GT3 with everything you want.

After owning a 991 GT3 with 18-way seats and a 992 with bucket seats, I can tell you that no buckets would be a non-starter for me. I like PTS, but I can live without it. I'm indifferent to PCCBs. It's an individual decision based on your preference, but if you can't get a "must have" option for your use case, it kind of defeats the purpose of an allocation to me.

Not trying to argue with your opinion, but just wondering if you have compared the 18-way seats of the 991 vs. The ones of the 992?
The sofas definitely were a weak point on the 991, but I was wondering if they were improved or not on the 992.

I was in a similar position as you, including on previous car experience, so as others said, it depends on what is important to YOU (ie, which options are currently unavailable vs. Your must have list), if you can live with someone else’s spec or want the opportunity to get EXACTLY what you want, when the car will arrive, etc etc.

In general, I think that there is a bit of room for negotiating this ADM if you are truly willing to move away from the negotiation table if you don’t get what you want. Otherwise, they have the leverage on you, despite the fact that the market is clearly softening, and will keep doing so for the next 6-12 months IMHO.

This is the advice I would give a close friend of mine....

If say your car was worth sticker in 6-9 months....would that affect your mood or decision on getting the car? how about 30k under in 2 years?

If you're ready to spend that kind of money and DGAF...then get it. And I did this before so I am not saying it is bad, I fully expected when I got my 991.2 GT3rs ordered new I would drive it for 3-4 years and lose 70-100k (bought it for 25k over with another 20k in CA tax, thought I'd sell it for 25-50k under when I was done) If you are doing it with the expectation of this thing HOLDing values like we saw in the pandemic fiasco that is crashing hard right now, then run and hide and come back in 6 months.

I myself just got my 718 GT4 OTD (7500 over) was like 130 something, I bet I drive it for 3 years and sell it for 80-90. I am cool with spending 40-50k...I love racecars. 992 GT3 I would expect to sell it for 30-50 under sticker in 3 years, so expect to be out 80-100k plus tax if you pay 50k adm. Any expectation above that is wishful thinking and setting yourself up for disappointment. Cars depreciate despite what some people here say.

Thank you very much for your opinions, this is a car I will likely keep forever or until I crash into a barrier at the track 😁.

The ideal would be to get it msrp so I will try and negotiate that. There’s only 1 allocation for the whole year. Most friends in NYC are saying it’ll be a “soft recession” but who really knows.

That pretty much sums up this thread after 269 pages.
The ADM "nannies" are hilarious.

ipse dixit

Coming from you, this statement is dripping with irony.

Diablo Dude

You have no frame.

Why you continue to impose your value system on others here is absurd.
For the past two months here, you've done nothing other than rationalize why you'll never own a GT car.
I cant imagine anyone wanting to be anywhere near you at the Rennsport Reunion in Monterey.
You're beyond boring.

If I had a dollar for every person that said they were keeping their Porsche forever on RL (I've done it myself lol) I'd have your 50k ADM

Things change, I'd almost plan to keep it 5 years. It is so difficult to plan a forever car and actually do it. HOWEVER, if you were going to keep a car forever, I would suggest 2 things!

1) Order it yourself
2) Do euro delivery

Lastly, there is 1 dealers there in the northeast that only does MSRP deals I know of and almost bought 991.2 gt3rs from them. Porsche Monmouth is an MSRP only dealer AND they value euro deliver but you need to be kinda local, like the 3-4 states that surround NJ.

I told one other person that pinged me in private to do this but.....suggest going there, tell them you'll do euro delivery AND if you have a Porsche to trade in that can help as well to move u up. Best of luck

Don't mind the clowns diablo and ipse (as well as rusman), they are ADM warriors here to fight the good fight for the dealers. I don't think it's going well for them

rusmani

keep my name outta your mouth chump, thanks. I'm not here to fight any fight for dealers. You're just absolutely clueless.

as a reminder, you've paid adm on any Porsche GT product you claim to have owned. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Bye now.

DJRG

Unfortunately no bucket seats or PTS available for the GT3. Looking at euro delivery for October if I go through with it. Any of you guys get any last minute changes before submitting for the build? I’m hoping for bucket seats soon…

Anybody get them installed afterwards? TIA!

sechsgang

No, they are standard offering on RS cars, and the dakar to boot so they aren't constrained.

In my opinion, it is justified, but you will get, or have gotten, opinions all over the place, pro, con otherwise. Only YOU know what will work for you
