After 460 pages, I've decided this RE: ADM: As a potential buyer, you just need to decide which is more important TO YOU.....do you want the car or do you NOT want to pay ADM? And, if you did get a (true MSRP allocation, without trade ins, or financing strings, etc etc etc) that's awesome and more power to you, but note that nobody cares as much as you do.....And the more times you bring it up.....the less appealing it is, IF it's even true.

Bringing this back - looks like that $285k bid was mysteriously erased and a new bid was made at $255k and accepted.

The beauty of it is you don't have to buy the car if you do not accept it.
By contrast, look at Ferrari. No ADMs but you are placed in a queue, and usually a very long one. You might get the car at MSRP but 2-3 years after you want it, which some can accept but many will not. Some would choose to pay over sticker to not have to wait 2-3 years, while some have the patience. The existence of ADMs in Porsche stores in the US allows some to skip the wait time if they're willing to pay. Many here waited for an MSRP GT3 and got it, but that takes a lot of patience that many car enthusiasts do not have...I don't like ADMs but understand why they exist.

I have a list of Porsche 39 dealerships that I send a bulk email to when looking for a car, Westlake tends to be consistently high on ADMs for new customers. They asked the highest ADM I have heard of on a Dakar.

Most important is that we enjoy the Experience of these amazing vehicles, we are blessed to have these vehicles in our lifetime, past and future will not be-able to say that.
Enjoy them, Drive them, Track them.
What we paid for it is not as important as what we get from owning it, is my personal opinion.

1000% agree, enjoy them, I just picked up my 3RS on Thursday and I could care less what I paid for it or what its worth.
I'm going to enjoy many miles with this and ASAP.
I'll bet I have 5000+ miles on it before Nov (close of season for me).
There is something about a Porsche when you drive it and just enjoy the moment.

I use mine for the grocery store at least once a week. Definitely don’t want to be driving around for too long with refrigerated/frozen items up there
