I think that reply was a troll... can anyone check the IP domain where that post was originated? If it was original, this is the best time to voice how we feel about the "Market Adjustment" bs!

Do you really need the reason?

Reason? Isn't that call the Law of Supply and Demand?

If a dealer takes a deposit for a car like the RS where they may only get 3 allocated then the purchasing party should be able to spec as they wish and any amount over MSRP desired by the dealer should be known up front. Otherwise, the dealer should not take the deposit from anyone and when they get their 3 RS's, they can sell them for what the market will bear. No one is putting a gun to anyones head.
But when the RS is nearing $200,000.00, I'd start looking at F-Cars. Just my .02.
Quick question... how many of the RS's will see track time? Or are they being purchased as a collectors car for later?

no modern porsche is "collectable"... not even CGT.
if collecting for future appreciation is the intend, try enzo or maybe mclaren F1, dont drive them, wait for 15 years. maybe you have a chance.

I love it, some posters would buy property,stock etc etc and would be bragging from here to Fu**town that they flipped it the next day to some sucker for a killing but OMG a dealer is making a few bucks off some well heeled guys who gonna put it in their garage and wax it, and please no "track" talk, lol, on every board there are all those racers but in Internationial Motorsport NorthAmerican drivers are almost a non factor, I wonder why.
Yeah, it would be also totally cool with some of the whiners to buy a hot car for MSRP and reselling it for a max profit and citing" medical reasons , the wife does not like" or other associated nonsense for cashing out, talking about double standards.

what some of us are saying is that some dealers had promised certain customers to sell at msrp and took their deposit. when said dealer realized that it's a hot car, they reneg on the promise and 1) you can have msrp if you optioned it up to $x, 2) it is no longer msrp, you can have it but you pay $x over, or 3) your deposit will be returned b/c we, the dealers, decided to keep the allocation for ourself. anyone of the above three scenarios are breaking a promise/contract. that to me, is not how business should be done.
of course, if i AGREED to paying a dealer at the time i made my deposit that i am willing to pay $x over, then THAT'S the agreement, thus i see no problem regardless of the price.

We are talking about cases where an agreement with a retail customer was broken by a Porsche delaership.
Other than that the dealerships are entitled to sell the cars for market price.

M.S.R.P. stands for Manufacturer Sugested Retail Price guys, there is one thing i wanted to add: all deposits on cars are 100% refundable by Law, what are we gonna do with the car that you ordered your way and then desided to back up before the delivery(especially if its a wierd combination)? who's gonna lose money and eat losses? Bad Dealer, hu? Especially in RS case, i will go with everything that you want to put on the car, but i will also make sure that you are putting a big deposit down. By the way $1k or $2k deposits on hot cars is BS, get ready for some kind of ......
