Today I decided, dammit, I work hard, I've served our country, I was smart with my money, I bought a house, and I'm finally getting that Porsche I've always wanted; but you don't care about any of that. Here's the situation.

I want a GT3 seemingly like so many of you. I've read GT3s have limited (~100) production for '08 after a fairly small delivery in '07. So, what should I do. (SEARCH NOOB!)

The thought of paying over MSRP for a used GT3 irks me, I'd like to avoid that scenario at all cost. I presume my best bet is to try to get on a dealer list, correct? Is this still possible at this point? I know with money anything is possible, but I'd rather get my name on a list by placing a sizable deposit. Am I in dreamland?

Thanks and hello I suppose --MER

 

I think you would be hard pressed to find an allocation at MSRP. Check your local dealers, and have the cash ready to place a deposit. Get it IN WRITING that by placing the deposit, the dealer agrees to sell you the car for a set price. Also, make sure that the dealer actually has the car and isn't playing the allocation game.

 

a victim here.
the local dealer totally played me.

even thought it'll be hard,
it won't be impossible.
i do think however, that at this point
it'll be very hard to find one at msrp or
build a car with the exact options you want.

good luck.

 

Buy a used 997 GT3 for less than MSRP.

 

is that even possible?
a lot of used ones i found are actually more than msrp.

 

It's definately possible. I have seen several.

 

Call every dealers esp the small ones.

 

What branch did you serve in?

 

I've seen a few used 997 GT3s that were asking under MSRP. It's definitely possible, you just have to constantly look and be ready to buy.

 

really? in ghetto rich west county? i would have figured otherwise.

 

Uau. A GT3 for a first Porsche. That's what I call entering by the big door. Congratulations on the choice. It's just the best car avaiable in the entire world.

 

I haven't seen any locally for sale, but I've seen a few around on the internet. I've only seen one around here and it was at Bentley St. Louis.

 

I'll keep you updated how the search turns out. No luck yet...but I've only worked the mid-atlantic dealers.

 

Here you go. Call NOW!

That's a great deal on a perfectly optioned car. I would jump on that if I were you!
