Why...yes, I do!

1. If over MSRP then nothing else to discuss. Unless you like to just piss away money. Don't support gouging dealers m'kay?

2. All cars are in production NOW. Can't change spec. Better like what he cooked up (probably every option).

3. All cars are to be delivered in USA on the same day in Feb.

GT2RS orders were required to be submitted to PCNA with a signed buyers order. Ask him how he has two cars available considering this fact? If he submitted fraudulent buyers orders then you have a better understanding of exactly what kind of seller you are dealing with.

Details?

I think in that case it's ok. I just don't want these cars, which mark the pinnacle of automotive engineering, to be treated like whores
I am talking about these kinda dealers... Alain Class Motors

WHATTTTTTT?????

MY MONEY, MY CAR.

I can drive it, put it in the living room or fire it and even resell it whenever I want!

Wonder how many of them have been sold to speculators or how many will appear in exotic dealers/on exotic car sites in the coming months.

Porsche Sells Out $329,000 911 as Luxury Bounces Back (Update3)


(Updates with number sold in U.S. in second paragraph.)

By Andreas Cremer
Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Porsche SE sold out the $329,000 911
GT2 RS less than two months after the sports-car maker presented
its most-expensive serial model as supercar demand bounces back.
All 500 of the 620-horsepower vehicles, which surge to 100
kilometers (62 miles) per hour in 3.5 seconds, have been
reserved, the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker said today.
Porsche, which premiered the car at the end of August in Moscow,
sold 133 of the vehicles to U.S. customers.
“Luxury is coming back and its revival can be seen across
all major markets,” said Daniel Schwarz, a Frankfurt-based
analyst at Commerzbank AG who recommends holding the stock.
“People want those premium vehicles.”
Porsche last month reported revenue for the year ending
July 31 jumped 18 percent to a record 7.79 billion euros ($11.8
billion) as a global economic recovery prompts luxury car sales.
Half of Wall Street finance professionals expect their 2010
bonuses to increase, according to an eFinancialCareers.com
survey published this month.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz,
the two biggest makers of luxury cars, have raised forecasts
this year on surging deliveries in China and a recovery in the
U.S. Porsche’s fiscal-year sales rose 8.8 percent to 81,850
units as customers bought the $106,000 Panamera sedan and
Cayenne sport-utility vehicle, its best-selling model.

Shares Gain

Porsche rose 82 cents, or 2.1 percent, to 39.79 euros in
Frankfurt trading. The shares have dropped 9 percent this year,
valuing the carmaker at 6.96 billion euros.
The 911 GT2 RS is the most powerful car among Porsche’s
three sports-car lines, the 911, Boxster/Cayman and Panamera,
which include a total of 30 models. Porsche expects its new 911
Speedster, priced at $280,000 and limited to 356 cars, to sell
out by the end of this month, Wolfgang Duerheimer, the company’s
development chief, said last month at the Paris Motor Show.
Porsche’s 911 GT2 RS and the 911 Speedster are part of a
plan to expand the manufacturer’s lineup of sports cars and SUVs
to almost double yearly sales to 150,000 by around 2014. Porsche
is merging with Volkswagen AG, Europe’s biggest automaker.

Surprised it took a few months. I figured they would sell out in a few weeks.
