I've never bought a Porsche over MSRP, but the Spyder RS is something else (to me). I have the opportunity to pay a $20k ADM, but I'm curious what you all think of the depreciation curve.

Probably, over the next year or two the ADM will get washed, but do you imagine the Spyder RS will keep it's value pretty well?

 

Is the BGTS too powerful now?

Buying a new Porsche and paying ADM while being worried about depreciation seems a bit conflicted?

Unless of course you think that you will be able to drive it for a year or two and sell it for MSRP plus $20k?

 

It's the kind of car that you either want enough to pay the ADM or you don't.
They will hold values very well... obviously.

 

Assume that any ADM you pay washes away.

 

If you drive it you wont lose anything. Just like spending money on a honda. If you dont drive it youre losing on the experience. Also if you keep it long enough you likely wont lose anything

 

Buy it, drive it, don’t sell it. You won’t lose a penny.

 

Within 5 years you will lose the ADM but probably be able to sell it for MSRP. I personally will never pay ADM but the above seems to be the general rule.

 

You’ll lose your ADM, but 20k isn’t horrible. I’d try to talk them down to15.

 

How many cars are you looking at buying besides the McLaren and the SRS?

 

I paid $50k adm so you are ahead $30k compared to me.

 

I just threw up a little in the back of my mouth

 

This is the spookiest Halloween thread I’ve ever seen

 

Porsche is basically done building ICE mid-engines after the Spyder RS (even the 918 Spyder was a hybrid as a supercar), it’s the one and only Boxster/Cayman model to carry the RS moniker. So long term there is 0 chance you will lose any money, it’s only a matter of how long you intend to keep the car. $20k markup is acceptable in this market if you won’t decide to flip it in a year.

 

Been hearing that for years, in the meanwhile, their PR claims to justify current ICE prices, don't seem to hold - https://www.carscoops.com/2024/10/po...ead__container

 

The link does not lead to anywhere, but have you been paying attention to the sales prices? 997 GT models are for more than 50% of their MSRP, 991.2 GT models also sell for more than MSRP, so do 992 GT models, 981 GT4 and Spyders still sell for around $100k, 718 GT4 and Spyders are still fetching over MSRP, GT4 RS models are at or above MSRP.

ICE is dying globally, so unless using petroleum gets banned, these cars will be something to be desired in the future. Most brands have screwed up their halo cars adding too much weight, making them too comfortable and electronic. Porsche still offers drivers cars, albeit at a premium, that may not go on for forever with global regulations.
