Talks about the shift in Porsche making the 911 much more unobtainable (special editions, GT cars, etc.) and prioritizing exclusivity over getting cars in the hands of drivers. A shame really if you ask me, but profits drive business and low volume sports cars aren’t easy to make money on. Thankfully there is the Porsche used market that’s much more accessible as long as you aren’t after some unicorn like the 918.
Porsche is now a relationship based sale for the rich kids. You want a 250K car you better know someone
I mean they have lots of not 250k cars too….
that’s not true. It’s also very region and dealer specific. some dealers will do msrp others want an ADM especially if you’re in a hot market like LA. Even with that a base, S, T, GTS can be had for close to sticker, even turbo and turbo S. Its the GT cars which are 50 or 60 over but you don’t need to know anyone, just have money. The way I see it is you have to pay an entry fee. You get a 911, maybe pay a little over but that car will hold its value and when you want to get a GT car you trade in for minimal loss. Now that you have a relationship with a dealer they will lower the ADM or maybe not charge at all because they know they will make money on your trade.
