BMW M5 owner, wants GT3RS 4.0
Hi guys, I am new here.
I currently own a 2007 BMW M5 which I got stroked from Dinan. While I love the car, I have been disappointed by its weight and have been meaning to get something lighter for a while. None of the current supercars tickle my fancy enough (they are either too heavy or not faster than the modified M5 I already have). Enter the GT3RS 4.0 and I think we have a winner.
So, I went to the dealer in my neighborhood and they said, sure we'll sell you the only allocation we have got but you will pay extra (over the sticker). This in my books is a no go. Am I being unreasonable? Is there no way a newbie like myself can get into this car without having to pay over sticker? Are there members here who could possibly help me? I really, really like this car and want to get it but I have passed on rarer items in past instead of paying over the sticker. Any pointers, ideas, help?
Thanks.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from them. I am a serious buyer, ready to pull the trigger. This will be my first Porsche but definitely not the last.

If it happens around here customers have the right to complain at PAG...

Welcome! To charge over MSRP is always bad in my books. However, my dealer gives first right of refusal to repeat customers. There aren't any first time Porsche owners getting one of these in my country. You have to build your relationship with them, which I think is fair.
