I hear 2008's are harder to get then 2007's. also most dealerships are asking over msrp.

 

This is very true. I was promised a Turbo or GT3 in 2008 either way im happy and ill wait

Unless I can get 5k off sticker "hint hint"

 

Carlos, 'others' here should take your lead. I know several guys who got great cars at or below msrp over the last 4 yrs at suncoast. Great dealer, great prices/svc on parts as well. When I got my x73, they matched and beat a competitors price and got it to me from Germany in three days.
Back to GT3's, over the last week I have been offered two Gt3's at msrp, passed them onto other guys. Prices are back to reality now.

 

How true.
I called 4 dealers two weeks ago...no cars
Have heard from 3 of the dealers with 5 cars available this week (unfortunately 3 were black--a color I'll never buy--and one was $146k MSRP).

Bill

 

shall I?

 

Can't believe that my buddy just bought this car... so, it's not available anymore now.

 

ok, since this isn't in the for sale section, I think it's open to criticism. Yes props to Carlos and Suncoast for selling at MSRP. HOWEVER, this is obviously a car that is heavily optioned to enable the dealership to maximize their profit. The truth is most GT3 buyers wouldn't spec a car out with all the bells and whistles that this car probably comes with which has inflated the price so much so, that the only way to sell a car like this quickly, is to sell it at MSRP. At $132,000, you're in Turbo territory price wise. They're both completely different cars so I wont go into trying to compare the two other than the GT3 is supposed to be a car that is quite a bit less money than a Turbo. So yes, props for selling at MSRP, but let's be honest, the majority of GT3's if sold at MSRP with the options that most GT3 owners would order their cars, you'd only be seeing about $115-120K. Don't be blinded by the fact that they're selling it for the price on the sticker, afterall, do you really need/want a toaster and a gum dispencer in a car designed for the track?

 

So I have a twin in the area.

 

Agree 100%, but keep in mind they are both street cars. The GT3 may be more trackable out of the box, but a race car it is not. Nobody in their right mind would spec a GT3 like that, like you said, now you're in turboland.

 

Yep, it wasn't me that bought the car though.

 

Bring the new owner to our meet so we can have a revving dual.

 

You're 100% dead on...I mean $2900 for carbon switch panel? Do you know what parts it consists of? Defroster trim, air vents, door opener trim. I mean only a few pieces for $2900!!! There's your markup boys.

So in reality, it's like saying the car is MSRP at $120K, but I'll sell for $10K over because of the options.

Now ask him if it was a low option car (< $110K) , would he still sell at MSRP?

 

This is exactly what my dealer said... If they had that car they couldnt get over MSRP since its already 132k I will wait for mine to come

 

You buy that car at sticker and you will be upsidedown 35k next year.

 

Most GT3's are optioned to that price or thereabouts...its seems crazy to criticize a dealer for selling a car at msrp, just because it was optioned heavily.


As for what the car will be worth in a year, man, what a great year of driving that will be.....
