For instance, consider Stryke. He sells thru 6speed (I have personally purchased 4 watches from him) and he is an absolute pleasure to do business with. When I see his posts, they are to the point and reasonable for members of the forum. He style fits the board and its members.
Good luck with the RS.

I've never dealt with MMC but they have some of the most crack smoking prices I have ever seen.
As others have noted, isn't the point of being a sponsor here to provide fair deals to a knowledgable, for the most part, group of car guys? If you're looking to bend some rich guy over, then go advertise in the Journal or Times.
JMHO, of course

Yes, Marc you are spot on, I have no problem buying a car below msrp.....nor above if that's the market. What I don't like screwing a guy with a deposit/spot or rubbing our noses in it when you get way over msrp....whatever.

Further just b/c someone makes 6 figures a year, doesn't mean they are any better than someone else.
To be honest, I've seen FAR MORE customers in Porsche dealerships act like the dirt bags you guys are calling the dealer sales reps.
So basically let's stick to the situation at hand and that is "Was the car for sale, Rich's allocation". So far Rich has not proved it was, and MMC has said it wasn't - so lets end the 5th grade lynchmob.

Hopefully the dealership will learn from this and appoint someone to handle this more responsibly. Seems no one has learned from the brandywine mistakes!
Still no one can seem to prove either way if this was or was not Rich's allocation car.
If I was a dealer there is no way I would be trying to offer way over MSRP cars to a small group of savvy Porsche guys, I'd save that for the walk in's who don't know the market and need the latest and great "must have" car.

Thats not business thats ****ing your customers in the *** so someone who can throw away 75k in one year can have something they wont appreciate.
just my opinion. Thats just wrong on so many levels of customer service. basically breaching contracts to breach something else

Just dont buy the guys cars which will make his sponsorship here pointless and then he'll go away, I have to agree that since no proof has been given there is no need to continue with the situation. If there was nothing in writing then you have nothing, that's the cardinal rule of going to any dealership, GET IT IN WRITING!
That being said, I'm sure MMC will not be getting as much profit from this board as they would have been now that this has surfaced and yes we should be able to expect more from our forum vendors. But someone at least provide some concrete evidence for the bashing, so we can all join in.

Bottom line is this: You have the cash Buy the car. End of discussion.

Until Rich or MMC can prove or dis-prove what is being said here there is no reason to continue this bash-fest guys, thread close till someone can PM proof that Rich or Steve has been wronged, until then get out and drive your cars and have fun.
