Hey I'm the one who bought the GT3 @ MSRP
 

I can't post replies, so I'm going to post this new thread.

According to TTSurgeon, "nobody in their right mind would spec out the GT3 like that". True, I would not have placed many of the options- carbon fiber, Nav, and sport chrono. However, everything else I'm cool with and probably would have picked anyway. So what am I out 10 grand- not a big deal for me. Does this place me in "turboland"? Who cares! If I had wanted a turbo, I would have bought one (almost did).

The best is P97 which states,
"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."
This is the guy on rennlist (and here) which had the allocation for the red GT3 and then sold it with a $6,000.00 "fee". He also has an allocation you can buy for only 10 grand. So, I'm sorry, who's ripping who off!!! At least for that 2900 for the carbon fiber I get something and not just making you fat and happy!

My financial advisor,xlr8ion , said I'll be down 35 grand next year. Dude, I lost 20 on my '06 C2S, which I traded in for this car, so 35 (on a percentage basis) is an improvement! Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Was this GT3 over optioned? Yes, but it also had what I wanted. The color was good, there wasn't crazy red mirrors on the side, no fees to third parties, MSRP, and I WANTED A GT3!

So, don't worry about me, I'm happy.hilarious

PS Carlos has been very good to work with.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to 6speed!

Humm...carbon is a must. Congatulations on the 3.

congrats man, sweet buy...you'll be a very happy man in that car !

enjoy it in the best of health.

You bought a gt3. Dont worry about anybody says . Enjoy and post pics !

Hey I rather pay for those options then paying over MSRP.Once you smash that throttle and the exhaust sings all will be forgotten...Hope to run into you Seattleson.;)

Hey

nice car.

Couldnt agree more.. That car is amazingly optioned, wish I could have picked it up! Congrats and enjoy, i'm down to trade whenever ;)

I can't agree more. A few people in the other thread were saying how cars without those unnecessary options were going for over MSRP well I rather pay the same price and get these options even if they are unnecessary for a car of this caliber. Congrats on the aquisition. Enjoy

congrats on a sick sick car!

Congratulations on your beautiful new car. Don't worry too much about what others think (obviously you don't, but maybe you shouldn't even read all of them!).

And welcome to the 6!

Congrats on th GT3... and remember, the only opinion that counts is your own and as long as your happy, more power to you!

Congrats...You put a deposit down 1 hour before I called. "The early bird gets the GT3". I was the back up offer.

Still searching...by the way, when I spoke with Carlos, he was one of the most professional salespersons that I have ever dealt with. Very accomodating...
