First 997 GT2 I've seen for sale in the states. I called and there asking a staggering 85k over window.

2008 Porsche 911 for Sale - duPontREGISTRY.com

 

you called to find out?
that guy is insane!

 

WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too much!

 

Insane was not the word he even asked me if I knew how rare the car was (duh?). I offered to buy it for sticker right over the phone and he said no we will sell it for that price. And in the mean time the car is already sitting there for a week. Sick people out there!

 

Thing is, it will sell :/ Sucks for us enthusiasts!

 

I agree...someone will probably pay $85K over sticker just to have one right now.

 

i'll be in the minority here but isn't one of the mantras of this board - what the market will bear? isn't that how many of us have made our money?

that said, i think these manufacturers should just raise the MSRP to a higher price. why not? if they're producing them in limited quantities, they are smart enough to understand they can raise the price; and they're smart enough to figure out that price.

assuming each dealer gets 1 on average, what goodwill are they accumulating by offering the car at a lower price than the market will bear? so each dealership can make an extra $100k every few years? meanwhile, everyone is upset b/c they feel the dealerships are trying to steal from everyone by offering the car over sticker.

dunno... raise the price, make it exclusive...

This thing refuses to get much above $50k over - My guess is that's where the top starts and it's down to list for 2500 mile cars by 1 October.

 

there are also a few on ebay last time i looked

 

Not for the ones getting one for less...
