And we are crying over watch flippers.....

This is a pretty stripped down GT3 and its about 100K over MSRP. My local dealer has 20 on his list for allocation and 75K over MSRP is ADM.

It's wild! I'm very grateful I didn't have to play crazy games to get my allocation.

That is true. Just cannot believe the GT3 game has got this out of control, I had no clue. And the dealers being allowed to do it, unlike AD's with watches, is even more ridiculous.

Makes sense to me. Let's be very grateful Rolex ADs don't do the same thing.

This isn't the first time especially in the P car world.

Remember back in 16/17 the 911R madness? They later released the GT3 touring package to combat it. The world was not in the current madness its in now though. It doesn't really matter what you insert its ALL the same story. Appliances, cars, watches, RE, Insert Here.

Yeah, I remember the R madness with the gearbox yelling. Just didn't think it was THIS hard to get a GT3 allocation now.

Yeah well let’s face it the people that can afford cars in that money bracket are on much better and more powerful drugs.

Well I guess you could pretty much say that about anything therefore eliminating all conversations with the exception of talking about those who don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Check out the sports card market. Prices have 10x over the last 2 years on the blue chip rookies. You can't find a box of cards at any retail store in the US - flippers are charging 5-10x MSRP for a box of cards.

I have a 992 Turbo S cab.

I’m regularly offered 50k over for it.

Crazy times.

Any cars in general have gone up exponentially, but even more so in exotics and super/hyper cars.....Look at the Mercedes G wagon as well, the 1-2 yr old G wagons are at their retail MSRP or more at the moment...crazy

Bro. Same G550 as my wife’s, is going for 30k over MSRP. Used. The G63 is close to 60k over. Used. New, it’s 100k.

Yeah, guess it's all a mess. Can we just get this correction we keep talking about and everyone can get watches and cars? maybe we can then give out drinking water. I'll keep my 991.2 in the meantime.

The entire market for all luxury items is bonkers right now to include RE.

Money is cheap. People see their 401K growth and their home property valuation and think they are rich, albeit on paper. The need to spend. I really hope it keeps going but afraid history usually repeats and this could be a bad one if it does.
