I've been looking at these and called my local Porsche dealer last week here in AZ and was told the same thing. Also, the cars are always fully options which i find rather annoying - especially on a Porsche.

I guess you can just order one "Base" and that would honestly be sufficient. Porsche options are ridiculously overpriced!

Amazing when a full MSRP car plus "only" 20k ADM is considered a great deal. The other amazing thing is during the 991 generation the last 5 years.... GT cars are not that rare. Here are some model breakdowns that I saw on Rennlist. GT cars GT3, GT2 RS, GT3 RS, and Turbo models (combined) outnumber sales of a base Carrera during the last 5 years, even with ADM and exclusivity of allocations. 911 50th Anniversary Edition (2014) - 643 911 Carrera - 7,496 911 Carrera 4 - 849 911 Carrera BE (2016) - 66 + 276 = 342 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet - 679 911 Carrera 4 GTS - 751 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet - 333 911 Carrera 4S - 5,278 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet - 3,993 911 Carrera Cabriolet - 4,203 + 1073 (2012 builds) = 5,276 911 Carrera Cabriolet BE (2016) - 178 911 Carrera GTS - 2,326 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet - 960 911 Carrera S - 5,547 911 Carrera S Cabriolet - 4,623 + 1891 (2012 builds) = 6,514 911 Carrera T - 620 911 GT2 RS - 655 911 GT3 - 4,542 911 GT3 RS - 2,183 911 R (2016) - 213 911 Targa 4 - 497 911 Targa 4 GTS - 1,345 911 Targa 4S - 2,892 911 Turbo - 1,966 (accounts for 16 997 built in 2013) 911 Turbo Cabriolet - 1,127 (accounts for 33 997 built in 2013) 911 Turbo S - 4,426 (accounts for 125 997 built in 2013) 911 Turbo S Cabriolet - 2,215 (accounts for 87 997 built in 2013) 911 Turbo S Exclusive - 118 |

Well, they are still super popular and hard to get tho! The Porsche dealership on Saturday was like a freaking mall. So many people! I just don't ever see me dropping $50k on a market premium? I dunno, just seems wrong! These dealerships are really taking to the enthusiast with this shit. Playing to many games. Build loyalty instead! |

It's affectionately referred to as the penis extension tax, to some worth every penny

the people actually into cars and driving----DRIVE their cars a lot and buy them for their own inner enjoyment. Very few Porsche buyers are actually in that 2nd category, unfortunately....it's become the ultimate car for posers, IMO.

And those that can....well, like you said, many of them purchase as a status symbol. When the Cayman first came out I was impressed with Porsche. They put a car out there that, with a little cash mgmt, a normal person/family could afford,.....well, that didn't last very long tho 🤣 Look, they are sweet and I'll continue to lust after one....but, will be a while before I can pull the trigger on one. Have 3 kids to put through college....I guess they are my Porsche for now! |

I'm on the list for a GT4 - dealer called me a few weeks ago and told me a GT3 came available and I could have it at MSRP Passed because only way I'll take delivery is ED in the summer. There are enough of them out there - shouldn't be paying more than MSRP. 50k ADM is pathetic. GT3RS and GT2RS don't apply.

As to dealer markups, I don't get the outrage. Capitalism. Why shouldn't the dealer sell for more if they can. If they don't, the next guy will. Don't like it, move along. For my 1M I didn't see it worth paying over msrp and I had time to call around for msrp allocation and wait. For my truck, I was in a hurry so a few over for in stock optioned how I wanted it didn't matter much to me. |
