OK, it is not the GT2, but saw a black RS in the showroom of Downtown LA Porsche, stick was something in the 140's, and they were asking, are you sitting down??? $75K over. I ran out of the showroom before any saleman was able to talk to me, went back to the office just up the street and swore never to buy a car from these people.

 

wow....

(too short so once again) wow...

 

One good thing is it makes a GT3 look like a bargain and helps to retain value. That's hard to come by as P just hit their 100,000th 997 milestone

 

75K markup - you can get a base 997 for that yo.
lol
wow

 

Saw an RS on eBay with BIN price $275K...this is getting out of hand! That's a new 997TT AND GT3 combined.

 

Has any car, ever historically justified a markup like this. For instance, did Enzo owners pay a markup from dealers? Wasnt the original price of them $500k, and now they are worth ~1mill?

I dont think the 997RS is a candidate for that by any means, just wondering if paying a markup has EVER been a winning proposition.

 

Damn... I'll take two..

 

did it have the orange accents?

makes me wonder, does anyone know if porsche made any ALL BLACK RS's? meaning no accents just all black?

 

Enzo owners were invited to purchase the car for MSRP which was something around $6xx,xxx. They were only allowed to sell it back to Ferrari. It wasn't until it got into the second hand market where the price jump was evident.

 

That is such a good point - You could get a VERY nice GT3 and a decent base Carrera for a DD for the same money. That would be my choice...

 

I've never seen something like that in Italy...oh well...I think it will never happen.

 

I think Porsche should adopt the Ferrari concept.,just my 2cnts.

 

That's sick.
Funny story, the day I picked up my TT, an RS and a regular GT3 arrived, speculators bailed on both. I tried to buy the rs on the spot at msrp, was a handshake away but had to go to the hospital urgently, when I returned three hrs later the speculator came up with the financing. Often wonder what happened to that car, never saw it pop up anywhere. Then, I almost got the 3, but my wife had a fit bc no back seat...that car went for under msrp back in May just before they announced the my08 production limits, saw it on ebay a week later. Classic case of a day late and a dollar short.

 

Every enzo was sold at msrp, all spots were filled before production even started. The second hand market is whats causing $1.2mil prices. People who are selling theirs will never get another exclusive Fcar from them.

 

Heck, I could buy 10 or more Honda Civic's with that kind of dough.
