Fantastic Discount! How is that possible? You are talking about the 1/1 scale GT3 and not the 1/18th version, correct?

I have a hard time buying that discount, or any discount now for that matter.

Unless the dealer is crazy. I have bought 15 cars from my dealer the past eight years, and no discount.

Dealers that know how to keep customers will deal on any car.

It's foolish to pay MSRP for any car. Ferrari is another story, but thats a convoluted one...

Default If you've seen the initial...

Allocation for GT3s, there's no reason for the dealer to discount. Some dealerships have a list 20+ clients long with deposits. If you've bought a lot of cars from that dealer, be happy that your salesperson or dealership has you at the top of the list.

foolish or not, there are plenty of foolish people will to pay more for the car they want. The 997GT3 will be no exception. I had a dealer with a M3 @$7500 over MSRP not take my offer of MSRP. I walked from the deal and they sold the car two days later for $7500 over MSRP.
