There are a few car manufacturers that they run the show and you have to beg to buy a car. Porsche is one of them.

Ah yes. The good old days. When seeing a 993 or 964 was like seeing a Spyker. A rare sight indeed. If it wasn't for the "Porsche" Cayenne there would be no Porsche though.

But more specifically you're competing against the same people that buy up all the properties in Van/TO. Everything in Canada are cheap to them.

It's the same thing if you want to buy a Merc.

Finally pulled the trigger and found a car, did compromise on a few things but overall extremely happy with choosing a different dealer. World of a difference with treatment, they really showed to value my business and didn’t play any games. Pick the car up at 4pm today. I actually believe it may have been the car that belonged to forum member w00zie - hope that’s a good thing lol!!

Amazing machine to be sure, quite a few have traded in their 911s to get this car.

Congrats. I traded my 996TT in on a GT4 a couple months ago - couldn’t be happier.

Its a special car

Spectacular! I'm biased, though!

Good, then prove it. Lets see his contract. Can't show it, then the car is not sold.

They probably got a higher offer from him.
