More curious than anything. I've seen a few on the 3RS driving around town throughout the week... The two I've seen have the Weissach package on them. I can't be sure, but it looks like the CF roof has indentation for them, but it's really hard to confirm.

I bought. 997 S in 2006, nice spec 88k msrp for 81k after an hour of negotiations. Then I bought a 991 2015 Carrera S and got 7% off msrp with an extra year of service included. 992 came out around a time where the biggest asset bubble of the last decade happened along with massive government stimulus and the Covid issue, things went crazy but not only for Porsche for almost all auto brands. It was not the norm.

Norm has always been plenty of 911’s to pick from on your dealer lot. Negotiate and get a discount. Or custom order etc. But 2020-2023 period is not the norm and will never be the norm.
Sorry things aren’t the way they used to be and never will be.

Your sarcasm continues to fail miserably. Probably best to leave it as you started.

Commodities have different prices at different times. That's all.

It was a hard pill to swallow to pay an ADM, but I was able to negotiate something I was comfortable with. I brought a friend along during the deal making and she bought a Cayman at the same time, so that helped my situation.

Also, at the time, this forum was buzzing with posts from people that had been waiting 2 years for an allocation. When one popped up I grabbed it and felt lucky.

I have a gorgeous T in my garage and at this point I couldn't care less about the ADM.

No indentions that I can see on the T roof.

@Macboy, I know of two Ts coming in this upcoming week or early week after. Should have a few new photos to look over soon. No ADMs either as far as I know. 🤨

I got custom seat insert samples sent to me by @P1Designs for my incoming T and current GT3. Two of the samples look amazing on my current T. I love the SporTex and don't plan to make changes to the current T. Sharing in case someone here is interested in doing something like this. Love the ST-style GT silver stripes with my GT silver stitching.
