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?

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Buying a gt car is akin to winning the lottery - one in a million odds | Exactly. You gotta make them think you’re not exporting it. Otherwise the whole scheme is Kapoot

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.
