Can a 991 GT3 be purchased at MSRP?

As the title asks:

"Can a 991 GT3 be purchased at MSRP?"

If so $130K is a relative bargain when you consider what you're getting.

Also, 991 Carrera S/Carrera 4S can easily be configured to more than $130K. With the 911 being a purists' type of sports car, I'm just a bit curious that if they can be acquire at MSRP why don't more people purchase them. I know its more track oriented and the suspension is more rigid and yes, there isnt a back seat, but bottom line, it isnt a far cry from a 911S practicality-wise and there is a huge difference in performance.

There's a separate section for GT3 questions, and I believe this very thread exists there, too.

To answer your question, though -- The fact that a GT3 can be purchased for $130,000 MSRP shouldn't matter when comparing it to a 991S. Sure, you can spec an S around $140,000 if you wanted to, but you're getting more customization, features, and choices (7MT, anyone?).

Many individuals may not be looking for a hardcore sports/race car, which is essentially what a GT3 is. It *is* more compliant and user-friendly than the 997 GT3, but it is still a GT3.

Yes..

The problem may be allocation….some dealers received as little as 2 slots for all of 2014 which were filled very quickly….and have a waiting list beyond that.

I'm quite sure they are sold. Some dealers list all incoming cars even those that are custom ordered and sold on the P dealer site.

Excellent responses. Thanks guys. I didnt know that this car only got sold by dealer allocation. I honestly thought you could build/order one rather easily. The low volume production easily explains why GT3/GT3 RS have such high retention value. Amazing machine and value at that price. I said it before and I'll say it again at $130K, this thing is a relative bargain.
