That was the peak of the market and that is one of the popular PTS green colors so yeah. I bet my Brewster Green Touring will sell for a hefty premium once I trade it back to my dealer for a .2 Touring.
I’m totally accepting of ADMs since it’s a free market- but what’s the phenotype of a buyer paying >$75k over? When the car was being produced, couldn’t you hunt for an allocation if you’re willing to pay that much and get the exact spec you want? Or is it some combination of impatience plus the fact that now you’re waiting for a 992.2 and hoping it’s not a “downgrade”?

Time is money.
And for some people, time is more valuable than money.
The buyer had to pay a commission to BAT presumably, so the real price is not what is stated as the sale price. The BAT sale was substantially lower than what dealers are asking, but that is to be expected. That has always been the case, and not just for GT3Ts.
Yes I see it is small. But to be fair the buying fee is only 5%. Not so bad really in terms of total net fees and not sure that falls in the category of “substantial” or for that matter can “substantially” explain any alleged price difference.
More importantly, not sure how we can know or quantify price differences between BAT and dealers in the first place. We only know dealer asking prices. We don’t know where they actually sell. However, you would agree surely, it is not at ask the vast majority of the time.
Believe me it was hard to get rid of because I loved it so much. I had front PPF and ceramic coating on entire car. Custom seat inserts and bolster protectors. I even gad custom GT3 puddle lights made in Yellow. My salesman Carl says everyone who sees it on the floor comments on it. I'll soon forget it as I start driving the S/T, I hope.
