    When I sold for Porsche here in North Carolina, we had a few customers like this. One customer came in and purchased a 718 Boxster GTS in Carmine Red for his mom, deposit for a PTS 911 Turbo S 991.2, and a Macan GTS all just to get an allocation for the 991.2 GT2 RS.
    Also, this customer had a great network of coworkers who were all gear heads. He alone brought in probably $2,000,000 in business with referrals.

    I’m quite confused by the Porsche market today. I have 4 Porsches, including a GT3 and a GT3 RS but I lost my relationship with one dealer who sold to me at MSRP until the 991.2 GT3 RS when he asked for a premium. I moved my business over to a larger volume dealer, bought a Macan S to show my good faith for the future but when the 992 GT3 and GT3 RS came in, I got asked for $100+K ADMs. I passed and now I’m not sure I’ll ever buy another Porsche. I had been offered a 918 by Porsche back in 2013 (got the folder and brochure in the mail plus offered a test drive) but I didn’t buy it and now I’m nowhere with Porsche dealers. At this point, Ferrari is treating me better and I have a deposit on a 296 GTB with an allocation coming up for order later this year. That’s an MSRP deal and the dealer paid for a free customer tour at the Ferrari factory in September so they are treating me well. I still want the new GT3 RS but I haven’t found a Porsche dealer who values my business today. I’m open to a new dealer relationship, even out of state, and I’m willing to buy another Porsche as well as the RS but here in California, that gets me nowhere.

      Good dealers still exist but you'll have a hell of a time getting MSRP hot Porsches in Los Angeles. And you hit on one of the other issues. One dealer up north does MSRP deals and told me they won't consider allocations for GT cars for customers unless they have purchased five previous vehicles from the dealership group in the last however many years. So in that way they are rewarding their more loyal and profit making customers. But there's nothing guaranteeing you a car after you buy those five others which is why some say just pay what you're willing to pay for the car you want today and not bothering with all of this. That's what I had to do. The good news is I could probably get as much or more for that car today. It is what it is. I'm actually quite curious what dealers you were working with before that have changed their tune. Even in 2016 I couldn't get a GT4 at MSRP from an LA store though I was not an existing customer anywhere.

      @tngdwn8350 Год назад +12

      It's not really nonsense. They produce a product which is practically limited. They don't have a clear limit like some manufactures, but they only have a limited amount of production capacity and, while people think it works this way, it's not possible to generate a new car factory whenever you want, especially when you are producing locally like Porsche. Also their existing factorys are already working at the limit and they increased the amount of GT3s produced constantly over every generation. In addition to that the GT3 is a performance car und Porsche is one of the bigger manufactures, so there are certain regulations in place, which means, if I remember correctly, for every GT3 they sell they also have to sell an EV. They generally have to compansate their performance oriented IC cars.
      At the end, the car is limited by certain factors, but the demand is much, much higher, so it's obvious how the market reacts. Porsche could just charge much more money for the car and adjust the market this way, but instead they use the method mentioned in the video and sell it to people who are Porsche/car enthusiasts and loyal customers.

    My buddy was interested in purchasing a 911 GT3 RS back in 2012. Plano Porsche had a brand new green one in their showroom and we decided I would drive him up there so he could purchase the car and drive it home. We pulled up in my brand new Lexus IS-F with paper plates and were ignored by all the salesman. We were never greeted or even acknowledged. Even as we walked passed several salesman outside smoking, nothing. Inside the showroom we had to ask the receptionist for sales help after viewing the car. My buddy advised he was interested in purchasing the vehicle even at their markup from MSRP. The salesman told him he has never purchased from them and that they are only interested in selling to their loyal customers. This pissed him off so much that he still will refuse to purchase any car under the VW corporation.

    Probably one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. “This system is best for everyone involved.” No it isn’t. There is no guarantee that buying tons of cars from a dealer gets you an allocation for a car at MSRP. As soon as someone comes along and offers over MSRP, the dealer won’t care how many cars you have purchased from them, they are going with the person who will pay more for the limited car. What Porsche really needs to do is make more cars. Make 100k GT4s

The suggestion repeatedly however that I should be lucky and have to encourage the Porsche dealer to lower themselves to perhaps consider selling me a car is staggering. To be clear, I'm not suggesting they *owe* me the opportunity, allocation or the car, but the suggestion I should casually "just purchase another two or three cars", particularly at this price point, to give the dealer a reason to talk to me when I can't fathom achieving funding *the* car in question is towering arrogance and a hideous and idiotic viewpoint to "just air" in public.

      And Ferrari. You can walk in with a briefcase of cash and they won't sell you a new one. You have to buy a couple used ones while they evaluate your commitment to the brand. I read a story of someone who had the cash to buy his dream car, a F12 but the dealer refused to even talk about a new car. He went across the street and bought a Lamborghini.
      Rolex artificially limits production to increase demand and drive up prices. Contrast that with Omega which makes as many as they can sell and has special editions for every day of the week. Just one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of Rolex and prefer Omegas.

As far as getting an allocation for a GT3, it's not happening for me, but I have a hard time getting worked up about it - the 992 doesn't really do it for me. It's more sensible to just pay the market premium to get a pre-owned 997 or a 991 Touring. If I could get over reliability concerns I'd be all over a McLaren Artura, which a dealer would gladly sell me.

    Used cars will not and should not trade hands for equal/more than MSRP. And trying to make this process work on a corporate level would require changing an entire company culture. It works for Ferrari because as far as I know, Ferrari has always operated this way and they carry a significant premium over the likes of comparable cars.

If i could get a gt3rs allocation i would daily & track it like every Porsche i have owned 🙂 when the market eventually collapses and it will just like gpu's did, i will pick up a garage queen example race prep it, immediately take it to to the track and put it to proper use.

Once discovered by Porsche, they will be Automatically Blacklisted for Life within the Dealership network and can't buy any Porsche or given any allocation at All. Also He knows another Friend who literally just walked up to the Dealership and said He wanted a GT4RS straight up without the BS of buying a bunch of Cars from Porsche before getting allocation, that was 2 years ago when the first Spy Photos leaked on Nurburgring (He previously owned a 991.1 GT3RS and 718 GT4) and He got His allocation in early April this year. My Friend only got a 718 GT4 and was also given allocation to a GT4 RS as well, but declined because He wanted a 992.2 GT3.
