GT3RS Allocation Thread
#1126

Every dealer I visited, had at least one or two Turbo S’s and several GT cars or various types in their show room. So they may be getting less but they do have them.
Any human being or company, getting what someone will pay for something is not being greedy. If that’s the case, you had better sell your house and what you paid for it when and if you do sell it. Otherwise by your own definition you’re greedy. Same thing goes with any of your cars or any other thing you own.
I suspect you hate auctions. Talk about greedy.
Lastly, this doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it. My addiction is not cars but timepieces. Because of the awesome economy we had in the late teens combined with the hype placed on social media most watches significantly went up in price. Now luckily, I have lots of connections and can get what I want at retail but I still have to wait. Do I like this? Hell no. But I’m going to tell you this good sir, when it comes time to sell any watch in my collection I’m going to get every last dime I can for it. As would any other normal person.

You obviously understand target markets and I can assure you those coastal states aren't target markets if those dealers have current generation Turbo S's or GT cars on the floor or they're way out of market pricing catering to the out of state buyer.
The demand yes has driven adm, but I can assure you there are more bad dealers than there are good ones.
Regards to watches..... I don't get it. I'd rather invest into more properties. Its even weird to me my dealer gives me matching Porsche Design Vin specific watches for my Turbo S and GT cars that match the 4rs and the 3rs that's on order. I'd rather rock a Garmin Delta Tactix with a ballistics calculator for long range shooting.

again will disagree...most dealers are getting less 911's
last week beverly hills porsche had 400 cars...2 of those 911's
so dealers are greedy
secondly too many brokers have entered and are controlling some of the supply
my dealer who got me 992TTS and 992GT3 at sticker...could not get me a 992RS

it ain’t the supply chain in Florida. Every Porsche dealership has plenty of these cars for sale on their lot and they are all at least 100 K or more over MSRP. Please someone show me an allocation for a GT3 RS for only 30 K above MSRP. I have a couple friends that would jump on that so fast right now the Porsche Salesman would not be able to finish his sentence. In Florida very few people are allowed the privilege of getting one of those allocations for 120K over MSRP. Or more. Don’t get me wrong I bump into people from time to time they tell me they get them at MSRP but I don’t believe them. No dealerships going to give up an extra 120 K. Well, not the bright ones anyway. The whole thing sucks. Same thing has been happening for years in the Watch world. The only thing that’s going to change it is a poor economy in my opinion.
When I inquired about the practice they said they get more return business because of it than the ADM would bring. If you're a local and get your name on the list early enough, you'll get a car. Needless to say all my future cars (they have other brands as well) will be with them.

There's still few dealers out there who sell msrp to locals, very few I assume, but I can tell you mine got me a GT3 and my friend an RS at msrp as first time buyers.

Yes, the car just arrived to the US and is the new shiny toy. Plus, then you have the "people always want most what they don't have" or easily get. I'm going to wait until late next year to see how things play out with the GT3RS and during that time Pista and Speciale prices will continue to drift lower too.

you guys talking about pistas...asking and selling prices are staying very big on those. 500k+ and 650+ for spiders. F8 coupes are finally down to 30-40k over msrp but spiders still 80-100+. 812 GTS still way over msrp.
why? ferrari dealers and factory have everyone on a ranking system so clients have to either keep their cars, or hold a certain amount to earn the big stuff which is usually worth WAY over (like a few nautilus PP). next ranking snapshots will be for
SF90LM
SF90LM-A
296 + version
LaF successor
812 replacement
If porsche did the same thing and had a real tiered system- the GT cars and even some random stuff like Cayenne Turbo GT would stay over msrp indefinitely or WAY over. It would make the 918 VIP program look like preschool.
