DAMN Mark you looked great in the wig and glasses, sod the car 😅. Very nice purchase mate and big respect not out doing other buyers who had been sucked in to the lease of buying. But buisness is business I suppose.
The entire basis of their approach to so called loyal customers is just totally farcical where many of these same customers go out and sell these limited edition cars within 3 or 4 months at massive premiums to buyers who aren’t on the list. In so far as this happens all the time there’s no logical justification for having a so called list in the first place and not once have i ever seen a so called select customer being removed from ‘the list’ as a result of milking the system for financial profit. UK trading standards should outlaw the practice of car dealerships discriminating against customers
This is such a sad heart-breaking story for all these innocent super-car purchasers who are trying to string together their change from behind the couch to be able to afford a supercar, which is vital to their health and well-being. Thanks for revealing this heart breaking, traumatic story of abuse for such a vital necessity. How these dealers are taking advantage of these millionaires is utterly disgusting and my heart bleeds for them. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention and I hope it gets the awareness it deserves!
Why would you drive a car that's wheel falls off. Porche killed Steve McQueen and his son Chad McQueen just recently..... I don't trust Porsche I would rather drive a corvette faster safer and cheaper.
This was amazing to watch! I simply love to see someone get what they really want. The plus of it all is that you didn’t compromise your integrity to get it! Cheers my friend, cheers.
ngl , props to the Lambo dealership. You seem to have an excellent relationship that they value enough to understand this 1 sale will make that relationship stronger.
Lamborghini dealerships aren't like Porsche or Ferrari. LOL, try to get a Bugatti or a Koenigsegg. You literally have to buy a brand new one so that you can buy a brand new one. Yes, take the time to figure that one out and see how much sense it makes. And that's considering that you have $50,000 dealer tire changes where the tires are bonded to the rims so you can't do them yourself. If you don't do them at the dealer, you void your warranty.
Hero of this story has to be the Lambo dealership and that salesperson. That was a magnificent gesture and shows how much that they REALLY value your relationship with them - true customer focus. 👏👏
They are looking at it from a brand perspective. If dealerships were company owned, this BS would not happen. Even if it did, 8t would be on a popular RUclips channel.
@Pugjamin its no matter, still lambo is VW and porsche owns VW group. Probably thats why lambo allowed resale. If that was mercedes or something, i doubt they would accept. P.S its just my opinion, doesnt matter its correct or not. You dont have to go hard 🙂

So I wasted time watching a rich person trying to buy a car complaining its over 100k list price and then proceeding making a fuss about it for 40 minutes... Just to end up buying it over list and trade in his lamborghini in order to get a discount of 30k pounds resulting in him buying it over 70k pound over list. thats some high level logic of drama... And doesnt make any sense since he got offered a car directly from a dealer for 365k pounds... WTF Oh and the worst thing : he sold his used 1 year old Lamborghini over list price - double standard !

Love that you put all of the episodes together for myself who had not seen or heard about this series until just now in my YT recommended feed! Awesome feat to finally get it done. Loved watching every minute of this 50-min video! Thanks Mark, I’ll be sticking around :)
The first Porsche guy seemed really honest and down to earth about it even himself being shocked at what he knew and giving you the heads up on it.

Chevy is no better: A friend of mine who has a long Corvette history was told by his dealer that they'd cut him a deal on a new ZR1: Only $75k over sticker instead of the $100k they'd demand from a buyer with no history. Oh yeah, he'd have to wait for their 2nd allocation for that deal.
@americanAlienBoy Geez...but on the bright side they likely did the same for the Z06 and now they are at dealers for sticker or close to it seemingly. Maybe it will be similar within the first year.
@@jimmmyz169 The C4 ZR1 may be an object lesson: I remember when those first came out, the resale market was paying 30-50% over sticker for them.

The best bit is your morals about leapfrogging others and the way Lamborghini valued you enough even helping you to buy a rival brand. . MASSIVE respect to YOU and LAMBORGHINI
@KimoKimochii yes they are all under the VW group but he was buying from an independent company in Cardiff so the Lamborghini was not going back to the main dealer it came from and as explained in the video they like them to buy he asked out of respect and as a valued customer they were fine with it .
Brilliant upload Mark, Your friend said "it is what it is", this maybe true but its simply unbvelievable this is going on. Thankfully i will never have the funds for one. Your excitement and determination have been a joy to watch.
I respect the route you took thank you. That was by far the best most heartfelt and difficult decision to not jump the list. Enjoy that GT3 RS. Looking forward to the new content.💯💯💯
The damage Porsche does to itself is crazy, can’t go on forever. I personally would not walk into one of their showrooms, life’s too short to pander to these people.
Yeah, well, they do it because it works and people fall for it, people with not enough stuff to spend money on. As a public company they have to maximize shareholders profits and as long as it’s legal, it’s hard to fault Porsche.
How do u have values when ur making videos to simply show one message but at the same time hes doing exactly what the dealerships are doing. Buying a car to flip for more money
Wow! What a story. I am happy you got the car you wanted, and you didn't step on the necks of the people who have played the Porsche allocation game in order to get it. Respect. Now, get the ladies a G-Wagon.
to be honest Porsche is like the HONDA CIVIC compared to all the other SPORTS CARS out there. PORSCHE doing this multi level marketing strategy just tells alot about how their cars are not getting sold in the market properly without major depreciation.
There is nocar that they build that would make me sell my soul to obtain it. No one should get so caught up in materialistic items that they would just give their money away. No Porsche no Ferrari not even a hypercar.
@@billyskoda6839 Afraid you have been had by their marketing department, in truth there are lots of other things than stupid speed that so far over the top, you are buying the most impractical man made machine in the world, which is just like many other high speed silly priced cars from other makes; and why if you look at car auctions you find 10 year old supercars for sale with 2000 miles on the clock
@@royjennison3916 look after your customer? U mean rip them off by selling shit which nobody wants and when they still got some money flush them with shiny toy?
@@gobit259 you just have no clue do you , and no experience in the prestige car trade , as you comments are a joke , some thing like Billy big bollocks would say ha ha
Wow, that’s a journey. I see a lot of hate in the comments yet, we all seem to have watch the video for the value of entertainment. I’m glad you got the car, it’s a beautiful machine. Go race Matt on it.
Fantastic Story! Watched every second. Had no clue how difficult it is to get a GT3RS. Like me trying to get the new Mustang GTD. Have allocation but now to jump thru the hoops and come up with the $$
That's exactly what I thought.....what he does however, is drive porche's regularly, and positively review and sing their praises to millions of people, So makes very good business sense i guess, not that porche really need that given the fact they won't allow the majority of rich folk to buy some of their cars despite having the cash!😂😂😂
I respect how honest you are with your car purchases. Very few people would be open to talk about the game they're playing, the dealers and manufacturers. You make content about it and probably take a lot of the "damage" of doing so. Man of principle.
Chat gpts response: It’s not even about loyalty-it’s a money grab, plain and simple. Forcing you to burn cash on cars you don’t want just to “earn” the right to buy one you do? Feels like legalized extortion, and it takes the joy out of it.
They arguably have the easiest job in the world, very well paid, can work when they want and yet still…. Half of them just cba. Recycle to mk2 is just pure annoying and I can’t stand it.
I simply don't watch them if I'm not interested in old posts. Some people may not have seen this before, though, so it would be good to watch, or even if they really enjoyed that series, they may want to watch it again.
Exactly. The system seems flawed to only those who aren't able to get a slot like Jay Leno being vocal about Ferrari and praising Ford for the same system.
I love that youtube allows me to go from a POV video of a 12 year old kid in a war-torn country showing us their daily life, to a video of a wealthy guy complaining about how unfair life is because a luxury car brand won't allow anyone with money to buy a limited edition car from them.
Wow I’m so lucky. I went to my dealership just down the road from me. I brought the car with my debit card. Got special paint cover. Floor mats and full tank of petrol. I can sell the car when ever I want. And go back and get another one. Hyundai,great reliability and great value
He seems like a really nice guy to be fair and probably worked hard for he's wealth. I was hoping that this video was more about him exposing Porsche and their horrible way that they conduct their business.
I don't understand how you can still want to drive a Porsche knowing that you have lost your dignity by trying to buy it. Knowing that you own an object only because you have accepted blackmail and humiliation should take away any enthusiasm for that object. Porsche and anyone who uses these sales methods does not deserve respect.
@@gaggleweed even if I could afford to play the game, why play it? If you have that much money just go buy one with the markup. It will save time and probably money.
I love how hos wife was so supportive with the car, not many women would be moved to swop a family suv for a a beautiful sportscar, I really will find a way to buy a gt3 rs, even if i have to by a second hand or even rebuild it
Good job your not buying one. Carl and tom are some of the best. There's a reason there so famous and sell the best of the best. Know Karl do you? No I didn't think so.
@@jordanthom8963 'You're'... FFS! English isn't that hard. Tom I have no issue with whatsoever. He's old school and built the business up. Carl ran away after an accident (which happened when he was allegedly racing with another car) before the police could arrive on the scene. Someone who demonstrates that lack of integrity is not someone with whom I would spend large amounts of money.
I have no idea how the YT algorithm brought this video to my feat but I soooo glad I'm one the few persons on earth that would choose a million times the Skyline R34 V-Spec II MPIII over any Lamborghini, Porsche or Ferrari, I mean they are beautiful cars but that's my preference.
You could rename the series: How to turn your customer into an unpaid dealer who will take a loss. After watching this, if I get the money, I think I'll skip Porsche and visit Lamborghini.
@@Chorikun Not exactly, might be under the VW group, but so is VW, Audi, Lambo, Porsche, and so was Bugatti till Rimac bought it. I doubt you can say you'd be treated the same at VW as Bugatti.
If he would have the same business history with Porsche (buying 10+ of their high end models over time) that he has with Lambo he would have the GT3 at list. Don't you realise this? It's the same exact thing. He is getting treated so well at Lambo because of the millions he has thrown at them. Plus of course the free good yt PR. But that also shows how limited the Porsche is that even a big youtuber can't get in there and get one at will. In the end I agree with some other commenters that I play the tiny sad violin that a superrich guy can't get his toy. That's the entire story of the video. Maybe he is just hamming it up for content but there are other creators who seem much more likeable.
Sounds like a good reason to not be rich. Just wait a couple of years and buy an older model. Btw your man at Better Performance is absolutely lovely. Respect.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is more than just a car-it’s a testament to engineering brilliance, precision, and a long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries of performance. However, it’s important to understand that this car is not meant for everyone. My view as a customer: the GT3 RS has always been a symbol of Porsche’s dedication to its most loyal enthusiasts. These are customers who have consistently supported the brand, understood its philosophy, and cherished its heritage. It’s only fair that Porsche prioritizes those who have demonstrated their commitment over time.Opening up the opportunity to buy such a limited, iconic car to anyone could dilute the sense of exclusivity and appreciation that this vehicle deserves. It’s not just about having the means to purchase. This isn’t to say others won’t have their chance to own a Porsche or even something extraordinary in the future. But the GT3 RS is a car that deserves to be in the hands of those who have already invested deeply in the Porsche story. At its core, this is about fairness. Loyalty deserves recognition, and the GT3 RS serves as a reward for those who have been with Porsche through thick and thin.
Very interesting and deiighted for the result, well done for playing fair. Interesting as you celebrated with your lovely Mrs and daughter, yuo said - 'woo hoo, Im getting the GT£RS', however in the background your Mrs was saying - Woo hoo - Mammy is getting a G wagon' 😀
All luxury stores and dealers do this, its common, should be illegal, essentially it's blackmailing. Its insane to me that no law has been passed to make this illegal.
As an artist I always believe your must always find your heart song that makes you feel like a kid. This to me is a great story not about a rich guy or poor guys can’t relate. I lived both sides and like to believe this story is about inspiring one to not give up on their dreams or motivation to continue attempting to achieve their goal. Yeah Mark will sell it, I would too, why must you hold onto something forever when there is an entire platter of goodies still a the buffet table to sample. I believe in having eclectic taste, simply put Mark went from Lamborghini to Porsche which not as bad as jumping to Ferrari but all the supercars are rivals. In my case it was jumping from BMW to Mercedes and then going fuck it Toyota only works rural. So I say Mark, I am subscribing because I look forward to seeing what the next impossible thing you make possible in the Supercar world! Stick it to the franchises, except the UK Lamborghini dealership, if I return as an Architect in London, I will be sure to drop in and check their stock for my 1st purchase, that why in New Zealand I am Toyota, it is all about relationships until today. I need to find a new brand because I am not happy with service parts extortion, something I am sure you know about and I would love to see on your channel. All the best! I will be watching! Not subscribed, with the bell reminder! 😊
And who said the rich guy didn't just work harder than you. I got a GT2 when they first came out, and I own a 2022 Ford GT40. The reason? I work 50-hour work weeks while you're filling your fat gut with Dunkin Donuts. You may have such problems if you worked hard at a stable job.
omg this is the saddest thing i have ever seen! I am so glad you didn't let them bully you and you got another rare supercar! The world is better because of this story and video
Watching this video and currently being poor, I don’t think I’d ever be part of the Porsche or Ferrari scam even if I had the money someday. They truly laugh in your face and treat you like a fool it’s honestly unbelievable.
An auction among their most loyal and wealthy customers might seem gauche. Instead, encouraging these customers to compete by purchasing other products creates the illusion of a more honest proposition. This approach allows customers to delude themselves into believing they have a special relationship with the brand, rather than merely participating in a straightforward auction. Once you recognize this dynamic for what it is, it becomes much easier to understand.
I live in Ireland, one of the richest countries on the planet. On paper. I’ve never seen one, and never will. So don’t feel to bad or hold any inferior complex about yourself.
What's so hard to understand, that these cars are in low numbers and the Maker want's to sell to loyal customers? It's not Aldi, where you brawl with others over the last Avocado.

The damage Porsche does to itself is crazy, can’t go on forever. I personally would not walk into one of their showrooms, life’s too short to pander to these people.
Ferrari does the same thing!
Pander??
These are limited cars why shouldn’t they only go to the most loyal customers?
@@Kissmyapex Its a scam, itll be closed by the british govenment very shortly. We dont stand for scams here
Yeah, well, they do it because it works and people fall for it, people with not enough stuff to spend money on. As a public company they have to maximize shareholders profits and as long as it’s legal, it’s hard to fault Porsche.
nah.. they have enough rich simps to be able to do this
You're a real honest man with real values, that's why I subscribed, what absolutely good content
How do u have values when ur making videos to simply show one message but at the same time hes doing exactly what the dealerships are doing. Buying a car to flip for more money
No he isn't
Wow! What a story. I am happy you got the car you wanted, and you didn't step on the necks of the people who have played the Porsche allocation game in order to get it. Respect. Now, get the ladies a G-Wagon.
to be honest Porsche is like the HONDA CIVIC compared to all the other SPORTS CARS out there. PORSCHE doing this multi level marketing strategy just tells alot about how their cars are not getting sold in the market properly without major depreciation.
I can feel your emotion and happiness!! Congratulations!
There is nocar that they build that would make me sell my soul to obtain it. No one should get so caught up in materialistic items that they would just give their money away. No Porsche no Ferrari not even a hypercar.
This isn't a naff fiat (ferrari) or mclaren photocopier... this is the greatest car ever built.. end of.
@@billyskoda6839 it isnt lol
@@_CallMeHeisenberg bad luck. I guess some people like McDonald's...
@@billyskoda6839 Afraid you have been had by their marketing department, in truth there are lots of other things than stupid speed that so far over the top, you are buying the most impractical man made machine in the world, which is just like many other high speed silly priced cars from other makes; and why if you look at car auctions you find 10 year old supercars for sale with 2000 miles on the clock
@billyskoda6839 ? Yall thinking its Sooo good. Your ahh probs never been in one
A lot of respect for you for not wanting to do people over👏🏻
Simple solution - boycott all these car companies that do this and don't buy their cars, they will have to change.
XD
nope , not at all , you look after your good customers first . its that simple , Billy big bollocks can go and do one . its that simple .
@@royjennison3916 look after your customer? U mean rip them off by selling shit which nobody wants and when they still got some money flush them with shiny toy?
There are people like Shmee who spend most of their time on their knees and keep them all happy.
@@gobit259 you just have no clue do you , and no experience in the prestige car trade , as you comments are a joke , some thing like Billy big bollocks would say ha ha
Wow, that’s a journey. I see a lot of hate in the comments yet, we all seem to have watch the video for the value of entertainment. I’m glad you got the car, it’s a beautiful machine. Go race Matt on it.
Fantastic Story! Watched every second. Had no clue how difficult it is to get a GT3RS. Like me trying to get the new Mustang GTD. Have allocation but now to jump thru the hoops and come up with the $$
Mat Watson certainly didn't buy 10 porsche's to get a new gt3 rs.
That's exactly what I thought.....what he does however, is drive porche's regularly, and positively review and sing their praises to millions of people,
So makes very good business sense i guess, not that porche really need that given the fact they won't allow the majority of rich folk to buy some of their cars despite having the cash!😂😂😂
Exactly, but he sell cars for them in other ways.
Certainly having the 911 turbo s on regularly didn't hurt.
He's Mat, they will sell him one even if he didnt buy 10
What the fuck is this? I’m actually glad I’m not rich.
I respect how honest you are with your car purchases. Very few people would be open to talk about the game they're playing, the dealers and manufacturers. You make content about it and probably take a lot of the "damage" of doing so. Man of principle.
I was hoping for a new video this week😢😢
A disappointing tap
@@bobbobberino2306 No
He's abroad making new content... Cant please everyone.
@@jackbunton6388the content he making in that taxi gonna be epic! From some of the small video’s I’ve seen looks like they had a great time.
First video I’ve watched of yours - 100% awesome and kudos for a non click bait title. That behavior is crazy on their part!!
Chat gpts response: It’s not even about loyalty-it’s a money grab, plain and simple. Forcing you to burn cash on cars you don’t want just to “earn” the right to buy one you do? Feels like legalized extortion, and it takes the joy out of it.
All these you tubers acting lazy recycling old videos on mk2 channels laughable
I instantly unsubscribe
They arguably have the easiest job in the world, very well paid, can work when they want and yet still…. Half of them just cba. Recycle to mk2 is just pure annoying and I can’t stand it.
i sometimes hate it to wait for part 2, 3, 4 so i just wait until they upload the video on the second channel.
I simply don't watch them if I'm not interested in old posts. Some people may not have seen this before, though, so it would be good to watch, or even if they really enjoyed that series, they may want to watch it again.
Dia cry 😭 at the Double Decker duo or Bounty Duo and just want one. 😝
Hard feeling sorry for someone who has to buy 10 x Porsche to get the one they really want. Maybe just enjoy the one you've got ?
My thoughts exactly. I'd play my tiny violin, but I haven't been selected to purchase one yet.
I don't know how the system is flawed. They sell them to thier best customers.
Exactly. The system seems flawed to only those who aren't able to get a slot like Jay Leno being vocal about Ferrari and praising Ford for the same system.
I love that youtube allows me to go from a POV video of a 12 year old kid in a war-torn country showing us their daily life, to a video of a wealthy guy complaining about how unfair life is because a luxury car brand won't allow anyone with money to buy a limited edition car from them.
I loved watching you on DDE but could not stand them so this is great you have a channel now. All the best to your new adventure.
Wow I’m so lucky. I went to my dealership just down the road from me. I brought the car with my debit card. Got special paint cover. Floor mats and full tank of petrol. I can sell the car when ever I want. And go back and get another one.
Hyundai,great reliability and great value

Oh dear a rich mans dilema . You're no different from the dealers. You want to make money not loose it !
Y am I watching the same thing 6 months later
No one is forcing you to
@darkstar2480 you don't know that
50min video when I understood the issue after 3 mins,,,,,,, sorry - life is too short
He seems like a really nice guy to be fair and probably worked hard for he's wealth. I was hoping that this video was more about him exposing Porsche and their horrible way that they conduct their business.
Congrats Mark. You really deserve it. Was a wild ride though, but we’ve made it. This video made me immediately subscribe to the channel. 👌🏽👍🏽
I don't understand how you can still want to drive a Porsche knowing that you have lost your dignity by trying to buy it.
Knowing that you own an object only because you have accepted blackmail and humiliation should take away any enthusiasm for that object.
Porsche and anyone who uses these sales methods does not deserve respect.
sounds rather sickening. It's pure discrimination. They should be investigated by trading standards.
I had the same thought
The people playing their game and buying the cars should be investigated by a psychiatrist.
@@gaggleweed even if I could afford to play the game, why play it? If you have that much money just go buy one with the markup. It will save time and probably money.
People are idiots , Porsche needs to boycotted to teach them a lesson
This video is sooooo great! You are exposing the bs of this brand.
I love how hos wife was so supportive with the car, not many women would be moved to swop a family suv for a a beautiful sportscar, I really will find a way to buy a gt3 rs, even if i have to by a second hand or even rebuild it
Porsche brand is even more polluted than Masterchef Greg
Yep. And these car owners go on like easily offended, hypocritical, middle aged women at the fish stall on a Friday morning.😁
Personally, I wouldn't trust anything Carl Hartley has to say.
Good job your not buying one.
Carl and tom are some of the best. There's a reason there so famous and sell the best of the best.
Know Karl do you? No I didn't think so.
@@jordanthom8963 'You're'... FFS! English isn't that hard. Tom I have no issue with whatsoever. He's old school and built the business up. Carl ran away after an accident (which happened when he was allegedly racing with another car) before the police could arrive on the scene. Someone who demonstrates that lack of integrity is not someone with whom I would spend large amounts of money.
@@bobbyknox9258 I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, although it is clear that English really isn't your forte.
Why?
@@NicholasPutz Read previous reply.
I don't even have a driver's license. Why am I watching this?
Cause you are a man and man like cars go VROOOM-VROOM!
@@PortfolioPL 😅😅😅
I have no idea how the YT algorithm brought this video to my feat but I soooo glad I'm one the few persons on earth that would choose a million times the Skyline R34 V-Spec II MPIII over any Lamborghini, Porsche or Ferrari, I mean they are beautiful cars but that's my preference.
The sad background music mixed with the fact that this man couldn't get his allocation was heartbreaking. Definitely a crisis.
Why would making several hundred grand on flipping a new car be tax free profit?
exactly the question i wanr answering
because it was a personal purchase not intended to make money
Because there is no capital gains tax payable on privately owned cars in England.
You could rename the series: How to turn your customer into an unpaid dealer who will take a loss.
After watching this, if I get the money, I think I'll skip Porsche and visit Lamborghini.
Lamb not better same Company ;)
@@Chorikun Not exactly, might be under the VW group, but so is VW, Audi, Lambo, Porsche, and so was Bugatti till Rimac bought it. I doubt you can say you'd be treated the same at VW as Bugatti.
@@Chorikun LOL true both owned by VAG
@@ELXABER Yes exactly dweeb. They are all owned 100% by VAG (VW Audi Group). do your research.
If he would have the same business history with Porsche (buying 10+ of their high end models over time) that he has with Lambo he would have the GT3 at list. Don't you realise this? It's the same exact thing. He is getting treated so well at Lambo because of the millions he has thrown at them. Plus of course the free good yt PR. But that also shows how limited the Porsche is that even a big youtuber can't get in there and get one at will.
In the end I agree with some other commenters that I play the tiny sad violin that a superrich guy can't get his toy. That's the entire story of the video. Maybe he is just hamming it up for content but there are other creators who seem much more likeable.
Have you posted the wrong film Mark?
I’m sure this has been re-posted!
Repost?
Watch the whole video. The first half is using old footage from previous videos. I thought the same thing at first.
@@seanjohnson1988I've seen all of the content of this video before not just the first half
Love the channel and your enthusiasm mark but GT3RS and “deal” don’t belong in the same sentence, ever. 😂 you are quite the comedian for that one.
What a great video! Congrats on the new car! Wish you all the best!
Rich people problems! I can sleep well with that!
You Lamborghini sale rep is a bloody diamond fair play to her and them ❤
Why have you reposted this Mark?
For more views
All about ego and views for 1st world 🌎 problems, bloke a Muppet
Mark didn't have to go back to Lamborghini,but he is respectful and a honourable man good on you sir 👍
Sounds like a good reason to not be rich. Just wait a couple of years and buy an older model.
Btw your man at Better Performance is absolutely lovely. Respect.
"Cuz I love ya"
"And meeee" hahaha, heartwarming.
She's gonna cost you the most in a few years mate.
Matt will have a nice GT3 RS available for sale soon. Mint condition
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is more than just a car-it’s a testament to engineering brilliance, precision, and a long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries of performance. However, it’s important to understand that this car is not meant for everyone. My view as a customer: the GT3 RS has always been a symbol of Porsche’s dedication to its most loyal enthusiasts. These are customers who have consistently supported the brand, understood its philosophy, and cherished its heritage. It’s only fair that Porsche prioritizes those who have demonstrated their commitment over time.Opening up the opportunity to buy such a limited, iconic car to anyone could dilute the sense of exclusivity and appreciation that this vehicle deserves. It’s not just about having the means to purchase. This isn’t to say others won’t have their chance to own a Porsche or even something extraordinary in the future. But the GT3 RS is a car that deserves to be in the hands of those who have already invested deeply in the Porsche story. At its core, this is about fairness. Loyalty deserves recognition, and the GT3 RS serves as a reward for those who have been with Porsche through thick and thin.
Yes, laws protecting the helpless millionaires and billionaires sure are needed ASAP!
what 911 can you get if your not on th LIST
I just love this, every second of it... imagine the rich people being used and fooled. Love it.
Very interesting and deiighted for the result, well done for playing fair. Interesting as you celebrated with your lovely Mrs and daughter, yuo said - 'woo hoo, Im getting the GT£RS', however in the background your Mrs was saying - Woo hoo - Mammy is getting a G wagon' 😀
All luxury stores and dealers do this, its common, should be illegal, essentially it's blackmailing. Its insane to me that no law has been passed to make this illegal.
this feels like a reupload. didnt he make the same video last year??
I'm happy for you, enjoy your new baby. Respect to the Lamborghini dealership for making it easy for you.
As an artist I always believe your must always find your heart song that makes you feel like a kid. This to me is a great story not about a rich guy or poor guys can’t relate. I lived both sides and like to believe this story is about inspiring one to not give up on their dreams or motivation to continue attempting to achieve their goal. Yeah Mark will sell it, I would too, why must you hold onto something forever when there is an entire platter of goodies still a the buffet table to sample. I believe in having eclectic taste, simply put Mark went from Lamborghini to Porsche which not as bad as jumping to Ferrari but all the supercars are rivals. In my case it was jumping from BMW to Mercedes and then going fuck it Toyota only works rural. So I say Mark, I am subscribing because I look forward to seeing what the next impossible thing you make possible in the Supercar world! Stick it to the franchises, except the UK Lamborghini dealership, if I return as an Architect in London, I will be sure to drop in and check their stock for my 1st purchase, that why in New Zealand I am Toyota, it is all about relationships until today. I need to find a new brand because I am not happy with service parts extortion, something I am sure you know about and I would love to see on your channel. All the best! I will be watching! Not subscribed, with the bell reminder! 😊
Rich guy gets another expensive car. How tragic. And all the wife wanted was a G wagon. Good lord what problems to have.
Be happy for someone else he literally did a whole investigation if you don’t like the guy don’t watch the videos
🤣
Never thought id see the rich bragging about being rich online but here we are.
And who said the rich guy didn't just work harder than you.
I got a GT2 when they first came out, and I own a 2022 Ford GT40. The reason? I work 50-hour work weeks while you're filling your fat gut with Dunkin Donuts.
You may have such problems if you worked hard at a stable job.
@@LoociferZ lol
Go half on Matt Armstrong rebuild
People can’t afford the rising cost of living and you complain about not being able to buy a new GT3 RS! Sick man.
😂 because it’s his fault they can’t afford the cost of living. It’s funny how bitter you are because he’s done well for himself.
@@Franz_giblet It is his fault, he is a part of a small group of people hoarding 90% of the wealth and income.
Car dealerships are parasitical by nature. Porsche's scarcity-by-design just allows their dealerships to evolve to the parasitic maximum.
omg this is the saddest thing i have ever seen! I am so glad you didn't let them bully you and you got another rare supercar! The world is better because of this story and video
Hilarious comment. If you know you know.
Awesome video. Really broke down the insane rabbit hole of ultra luxury car buying
WHERE IS THE GTR RS NOW ....... we were waiting for update for over 9 months now and you put out this movie lol 🤣
It's been sold for the exact reason why Porsche dealers don't sell one to a person without a buying history.
"On literally the top of the range model"
The GT2 RS will probably disagree.
This really is not controversial, and also... This is not some sort of scam. Nobody is FORCED into buying cars they dont want.
Watching this video and currently being poor, I don’t think I’d ever be part of the Porsche or Ferrari scam even if I had the money someday. They truly laugh in your face and treat you like a fool it’s honestly unbelievable.
An auction among their most loyal and wealthy customers might seem gauche. Instead, encouraging these customers to compete by purchasing other products creates the illusion of a more honest proposition. This approach allows customers to delude themselves into believing they have a special relationship with the brand, rather than merely participating in a straightforward auction. Once you recognize this dynamic for what it is, it becomes much easier to understand.
watching from namibia... even though i know i will never see nor own one of this cars it is still a very informative video
I live in Ireland, one of the richest countries on the planet. On paper. I’ve never seen one, and never will.
So don’t feel to bad or hold any inferior complex about yourself.
Why is this video back on , 🥴
Old video Mark, but still good, plus it's one of my favourite cars 👍
how much you bet the porsche dealer won't service your car because you didn't buy from them! lol
I really like your smile; it tells a story. You have the look of an innocent gentleman. Has anyone ever told you that before?
What's so hard to understand, that these cars are in low numbers and the Maker want's to sell to loyal customers? It's not Aldi, where you brawl with others over the last Avocado.
I was skeptical at first, but the ALM tokenomics make so much sense. Alemio Network could be a game-changer for long-term investors.
I hate to admit it, but I love that the rich are getting fleeced on crap like this.
My absolute dream car.
Thanks to this video I can finally forget this dream and continue my low income life in happiness.
The system isn't flawed!
Its working great for the Dealerships!
I dont think the Porsche is worth all this drama, but i fully respect the hustle. Great story
