992 GT3 RS

I love how it looks. But damn those wheels I don't want to clean them. Plus I want a manual.

Always wodner for a highend status car like GT3 or anything above. Do you have to pay an insane amout of markups then they put you in a waiting list? Or do you have to do more than that?

These days, it's a combination of both, and then some.

For Porsches, if you get a genuine factory order it's MSRP no markups.

What ppl do a lot are buy the car, drive it for a bit, sell it back to the dealers and the dealers will sell a 992 GT3 right now for ~400k.

But good luck getting a factory allocation for a Porsche GT car. Earlier this year you could still get lucky and get on the wait list for a GT4 allocation with no prior relationship. I think even that is hard now.

Oh that's too bad, was going to order one.

radeonboy 08-18-2022 01:52 PM

Don't a lot of buyers go through hoops by needing the right Porsche cars to trade in and a good sales history with the dealer before qualifying for a GT3/RS allocation?

Badhobz 08-18-2022 06:13 PM

its not THAT hard if youre willing to go buy it straight from Deutschland. Dont need to play all these games, you just need to be able to

1 - pay cash
2 - speak german (helps to convey you're sincere and they prioritize local customers first)
3 - prepare to wait

i got a lot of rich ass friends in hamburg and they havent had any issues securing these cars as long as you put a deposit and willing to wait. No need for previous purchase history and you save some tax buy doing european delivery

With Euro delivery the car still needs to be ordered here? Unless allocations are region agnostic and getting an allocation in Germany can have the car delivered in Canada in CADM spec. I doubt it though.

teggy604 08-18-2022 06:21 PM

they should have taken away that traditional steering wheel and upgraded to a Cup car racing steering wheel. I mean the car is pretty much there anyways.

No man. If you order it here then you play their games. You order it over there as a domestic German 911 and then you do the homework of importing it into Canada. So yes you’ll need to dick around with some lights/reflectors and crap but it’s still not a overly hard process.

It has to be 15 years old to import though?

Euro delivery is not a thing anymore because of covid. They may start it up in the future. That goes for all makes according to a Mercedes salesman.

Only BMW cancelled their program, Porsche Euro Delivery is still kicking and active.

I don’t think so. It’s just the same as if you imported a Usdm car to Canada. You just gotta pay the equivalent tax when it arrives.

trollface 08-19-2022 04:28 AM

You are ordering a Canadian spec car that just dosnt get delivered by them. 15 year rule no apply.

Badhobz 08-19-2022 05:19 AM

youre ordering a german, domestic market 911 (you wont be able to order a canadian spec car in germany). You will need to do certain modifications when it arrives in canada to make it road legal. You will be able to save the VAT if you export the vehicle, however porsche might not like that you are exporting the vehicle and might slap you down if they find out. But once again, if you dont want to play the games of north American dealers, this is a relatively easy way to get a high end 911 without buying 1-2 extra 911's to accommodate their bullshit.

trollface 08-19-2022 08:35 AM

Orly, why would they not just put the markers on it etc? They know it's going out of the country in a week or two.

SkunkWorks 08-19-2022 08:38 AM

Yeah good luck with that lol. Do it and let us know how it goes when you roll into Porsche Hamburg with your BCDL and ask to have the car transported to the docks.

Buying a gt car is akin to winning the lottery - one in a million odds :alone:

Ended up trading both in for GT2RS which is now gone as well lol

He puts ol’ WS6TA to shame with how frequently he’s changed cars. I think once you get an in with certain dealers and know the car is going to come back around, people will pull a lot of strings to get you any car

Exactly. You gotta make them think you’re not exporting it. Otherwise the whole scheme is Kapoot

teggy604 08-19-2022 01:10 PM

For us normal folks, there is a fat chance you will get a new GT car. Just have to wait it out and buy used if the price is right. Porsche will always produce a better faster GT car and the rich folks will always go after the newest and fastest.
