I was at my local dealer a few weeks back. I noticed a new GT3RS with plastic wrap sitting in their garage bay..I walked back and asked the service guy.. "so what are you guys marking up this one?" His reply is we can't charge over MSRP, if PCNA would find out we were charging over they wold take away our franchise... I said I thought there was a "market adjustment" on certain models. He said no we can only charge MSRP...Not sure if he was bs'ing me or what.
As such, "GT2" has taken on a whole new meaning.....

no porsche does not allow prices above MSRP on new, unregistered vehicles. that's what i have been told by every porsche dealer i have dealt with, from what i understand porsche of newport beach follows this very strictly. in 2004 when i was looking for a 996 GT3 they happened to have a new one of the floor that was given up by it's buyer. and a used one with 5000 miles on it. the used one was listed for $12500 more than the new one. the new one sold that day. the dealership told me the way a lot of dealers get around this, and it was very popular when the 997TT came out... was for the dealers to purchase the cars themselves, and sell them used CPO'd with only a few miles on them.

I must agree with you, the '08 GT2 is a sweet car to get, but I am really happy how my car is running now with the last up-grades... I wouldn't change it here.
However, if I retun to the US and I sell my car here I will get a 997 GT2 there for sure.
Saludos Luis.
