Default Something has got to be off - Asking price

I searched GT3s on the Porsche website and this dealer in Norfolk, CA has 3 cars listed at low prices. One even for $210,000. What’s the deal?! When it’s too good to be true it probably is.

Auto populates the sticker price. Give them a call. See how much they’re asking.

Customer orders which are already sold would be my guess.

Often customer ordered cars that come in automatically get listed as inventory. Unless they upload pictures and/or advertise an actual asking price that isn't the cars MSRP then it's likely the car isn't for sale. Dealers that have new GT3's on the floor aren't asking MSRP because if they were the car would've sold before it arrived or probably before it was even built.

Yep, extremely common. Car is either not really for sale because it belongs to a customer or it is for sale with a huge premium that is not included in the Internet listing. Helps the dealerships out because it generates calls and they can try to convert the calls to sales of other cars. OP must be new to this, as this is the way it has been for many years.

Why not just call them instead of posting here? Feel like that would have been a faster response, but yes most car dealerships automatically list their cars on these sites, so if a car is MSRP and has generic pics, it is likely a customer car. If it is not a customer car. it will be relisted with real pics and it will say to call for price if new, because Porsche has asked them not to list anywhere publicly with ADM on new cars. Many dealers are punching new cars as Demos, and then getting them CPO'd and then able to list a nearly new car with ADM online.
