He can't because here is the deal.

A) If you are a billionaire and know/love Porsches you have bought SO MANY that you are getting an S/T at sticker or better.

B) If you are a billionaire and don't really know Porsche then you have ZERO clue of what the S/T even is so you aren't buying one.

C) If you are a billionaire and hear about this cool car and you have to buy one you are having your assistant/manager whoever call ANY dealership, talk to the owner and tell them who your client is. They will get an S/T at MSRP just for the desire to have this client for life with unlimited funds.

If you're a billionaire and love Porsches, you just buy a P store like @C.J. Ichiban

If there are any billionaires reading this, I’d love to be your best friend. Private message me.

You know you're a billionaire when __________ fill in the blank.

When you don't put your pants on one leg a time.
When Jeff Bozo delivers your packages personally.
You have Putin's cell phone number.

You pay $700k for an S/T but couldn't get an allocation

I paid more than $800K USD for my normal winged GT3 (obviously I'm not in the US but that's retail + taxes with no markups) and I don't regret it for a second. I was also offered a S/T afterwards but I passed since it would have been gettiing close to $2m USD. I'm also far from being a billionaire. I daily drive my GT3 everywhere in heavy rain or sunshine, I drive it into non-developed countries where the roads are dog**** and it's probably not that safe, I experienced my first track day with it earlier this year... and I absolutely loved every second of it.

If you're ok with a free market then you have to be ok with ADMs IMO. It's a willing buyer and willing seller, no one is forcing anyone to buy and sell these things.

Life is too short... I assume since we're all here we can all afford some of the nicer things in life. If it's not going to affect your lifestyle who cares how you spend the money? You can always make more. I thought everyone was here because they loved cars lol

We didn't get into our position to buy these cars by being careless and irresponsible with the money we earn. ADM is a poison in a capitalist society. Eventually, it will erode the very foundation of capital goods. Price will no longer reflect the cost of goods.

However, I do understand that a person needs to live his life on his own terms. Unfortunately, very few can.

PTS

I don't think you understand what capitalism is if that's your perspective on ADMs....ADMs exist because people are paying them, literally capitalism. No one pays them, they disappear. Today the market says these cars are worth more than MSRP. That can change tomorrow.

Nick

Price gouging is capitalism? That's quite a liberal view of capitalism.

Which model do you prefer? Price "gouging" as you call it goes on everyday in every industry/service and has done so for time immemorial. Supply/demand economics - simple.

AbsolutelyNobody

I believe it's only careless or irresponsible if one isn't in a financial position to pay the ADM and pays it regardless. Otherwise, you are paying the market rate and getting the car immediately without the need to establish history or buy a number of other Porsches first. Unfortunately, for whatever reason the market for these in the US commands this type of markup. It's the same for watches, shoes, bags, etc. or any number of other luxury items where demand outstrips supply. If the demand wasn't there or if people refused to pay it then it would simply go away.

ADM is like eating in the airport versus eating at the Chick-fil-a right outside the airport.

We're talking about a car, not bread. If we start seeing folks paying ADM to buy bread....watch out.
