First wanted to say "hi all" as a new member here. I've been "lurking" around for a while , and finally decided to join.

Was wondering if anyone new a good place to put an order on a new 997 GT3 (or has an allocation they want to part with) without having to wait 'til next summer to take delivery. I have a '04 turbo cab, but been doing a lot of DE's (Watkins Glen, VIR, Mid Ohio, Summit Point), and it's just a bit to heavy for me.

Cheers,

(Posted same thread in Cars for sale/wanted, but not sure if that was the right place)

 

where are you located?

 

In Virginia, but don't mind paying transport from dealer if it's too far a drive ... but do need to get the miles up quickly on the car so I can get past the break in period and take it to the track

 

Keep in mind most dealers have two or three deposits already in house on the 997 GT-3. You may get lucky and find a dealer who is asleep at the wheel who has an available incoming car. This would be the proverbial needle in a hay stack. You could always find some shark that is willing to charge you ten grand over sticker for his allocation. A summer delivery time doesn't sound too bad, does it? How is your relationship with your local dealer? Have you considered ordering a 997 S with the Power kit?

Wasn't it Brandywine who was recently saying they had October builds?

 

Jamie - Thanks...I already called Allan at Brandywine, but someone beat me to the allocation.

Bentley - Thanks for the tip, I'll call him tomorrow.

 

Call Joe Rizza Porsche in Orland Park, IL and ask for Aaron(manager) or Bob.
They may have something available. Let them know Mo sent you. Their number is 708-403-0300.

 

Better yet just pull out a dealer directory and start dialing.
