That does not negate anything I said. Whether you have 11 fun cars or 0.

At least for me, there's some diminishing return on total fun factor as I add each fun car. And for me, 992 GT3 will be a track car, not a fun car for the road, and I already have a 991 GT3 and 981 GT4 (and now a couple TTS cars) for the track. I think the 992 GT3 will be a better track car than all of my current cars (except maybe the 992 TTS?), but not so much better that I'm in a hurry to get one.

Ah, I see people are active on Good Friday.

Must be because the markets are closed and no one can put their market strategies to the test.

You've posted over 200x about being "patient" with a Porsche purchase since December and the coming Recession (that still hasnt happened), and yet you've posted that you've recently bought three 911's for a total of half a million.

Do you ever listen to yourself?

We all get that you're in no hurry to buy a 992 GT3.
You've posted that about 100x.

I don't trade actively in that sense.

They called and offered the allocation, which I took. It seems to have been an allocation that they had not been expecting.

There’s been a number of BaT auctions where it seems the dealers are pressuring sellers to take them down or otherwise be black listed.

Surprised to see so many being pulled. Wonder if its coming from Porsche or the dealership.

I wonder if listings on Autotrader etc start to disappear.

OP, go ahead and buy it if potentially losing some/all of the ADM doesn't matter. I don't pass judgment on people who pay ADMs as it's a personal decision, despite what some may say about me, but do it with your eyes wide open as to what's going on with the economy.
With all due respect this doesnt make sense. You can either afford the car or you can't - if you're fretting the economy you can't or maybe said a better way - shouldn't buy the car based on whether the market is at 33,000 or at 30,000. If you want a brand new GT3 Touring and can get one to spec and you don't have a relationship - $50K is a good deal today. Could it get better - maybe but I don't think there are many more configurable allocations to be had - the run is almost at the end. So i dont think the market will go down. Now if you want to wait 2 years and get a 15,000 mile one - well then it could be and likely will be cheaper than MSRP + $50K. But look at 991.2's - they are still over MSRP 3 years + later.

So again - if you can afford it and you want to configure one - $50K is not a bad plan.

Just stopped by Porsche Dublin this morning to drop my car off.

Incoming GT3T sold for $50k over
Incoming GT3RS sold for $125k over.

Stealer spec'ed cars? If so, they probably couldn't get $75k-$100k for the Touring and $150k-$200k for the GT3RS.

Always the optimist, I see.
