hey guys,
the car's arent sold yet, im just holding them for a couple guys...

i should know by sat afternoon

and , as martin said, i dont pay good money to be a sponser and insult you guys and ask for insane premiums

 

i don't understand your response. it seems to me that i made my point, then i agreed that he had a point too. what point are you making?

 

I'm sorry, I quoted your response because I agreed, but the other part wasn't directed towards you, but other members!

 

My buddy just bought a launch car at msrp at a nj dealer, fwiw.

Unless he is a customer who has bought many cars, but getting it at that price is under market price.

Also, different areas have different markets.
the car is in high demand in NYC, BH, and Miami


thanks for your post

 

Nope, first time in that dealer. You're welcome

 

Local dealer also sold his launch today at msrp. First time buyer to the dealership. His March allocation is also open at this time.

 

There is no reason to pay over sticker for this car...

 

i understand.

 

IMHO, enthusiasts on a car forum like this one are less likely to want to pay over msrp. Just a matter of principle I guess.

 

Exactly. Friend of mine is getting an incoming launch TT cab from PA dealer, at MSRP...first time buying from the dealer. Make 20 phone calls including some Midwest dealers, score an msrp cabrio.

Steve K MMC ..... I appreciate site sponsorship and aggressive sales as much as the next guy, but this is the same hype as with the 997 TT coupe, which rightfully flared up and fizzled all within about 72 hours.... this forum is chock full of educated 997 consumers.

No doubt you'll get some premium from the early adopters (did pcna change their policy to allow ADM's over MSRP?) and you may be in a tough position lacking GM authority to settle for msrp on these cabrios....sorry my only rambling point is the dealers who engender LONG TERM, repeat buyer loyalty aren't the ones doing short term hype/quick buck thing. MMC may not need that to prosper, that's one management style...no big thing, good luck.

 

I liked Steve better when he sold Audi's...

 

guys
i don't set these prices

if you don't want to buy the 1st cars, that's fine.
if you don't want to pay a premium, that's fine too.

the prices will come down, just like the coupe prices did...
we have two cars, and we're in NYC.

the cars will sell before they get here.

im just giving you guys the opportunity to buy one at market price..
but like i said, im not pushing anything down your throats.

 

There is nothing about the coupe or the cab that justifies over MSRP. Any analogy to the RS is rediculous. The RS is a limited production car at the end of it's production, the TT is available in large numbers with no end in sight. The cab will account for over 40% of TT production.

If someone wants to pay over msrp to be an early adopter, so be it, but to generalize that into a global demand over msrp is just sales bs. Perhaps in Beverly Hills or NY, or Miami, but to the rest of the country it's just another new car. Besides, at $147,000 for a few decent options, it's getting pretty hard to justify.

 

Cut the guy a break. If you dont like his prices dont buy. Move on. He is a board sponsor and a nice guy. Because im sure in all honesty if no one on this forum buys it theres at least another 100 people in NYC that will. No point in another pissing match. I admire your hard work Steve. Keep your head up! : ) Just my .02
