2018 Porsche 911 gt3

Anyone have experience obtaining this vehicle without paying over msrp? Is the wait list for this car a hype or possible to find a dealership has one in stock and pay msrp? Thank you!

I'm sure it will be a heck of a car. The only naturally aspirated 911, right?

Good luck. Heard about a few 10 and 20k over.
It’s a complete gong show. Not like it’s limited like the R so I would suspect it will all come down to earth. Good deals on .1 and RS prices seem to at least be normalizing.

It would be tough for me to justify that much of a premium but if you can it might be the only way to enjoy a brand new vehicle. Keep us posted

My buddy just walked away from one he had built, I can't remember the dealer, but it in Atlanta . He was to pay msrp but something came up that he needed the funds for something else. Another close friend here in Canada just had his delivered, 2018 GT3 with manual, msrp as well. Good luck.

Impossible to find at msrp anytime within the next 18months maybe longer. People are selling for way more look http://www.dupontregistry.com/autos/.../911--gt3/2018

You won't be able to get MSRP from any dealership unless you have a relationship with them.

Irvine Porsche has one for $25k over.. they offered it to me at list.

I declined as I have a touring spec on order from an out of state dealer.

We like very few things in California, but among them are fast cars, fast women, and not-too-fast watches.

I have a friend at a local Porsche/AUDI dealership and one they had, sold to an out of state buyer sight-unseen and was loaded on to closed car carrier headed to AZ. It's definitely going to be flipped for a premium.

Can be had at MSRP, not in OC. Best bet at getting one at MSRP will be PDK. Either way, it will take time and work, and you will not get the exact car you want, trade offs, oh well. GLWSearch.

A friend of mine bought a 2017 gt3, drove it for 6 months. Went to the dealer to get a service or wash cant remember. Someone there went over and offered him 25k more then what he originally paid. He took the money and used it for a down payment on a cayenne gts. Your going to pay up for the gt3's
