Fair play to you...and I think this is it...If you play the game hard enough and get the likes of the Turbo Exclusive and and a GT3 RS.....its not even a zero sum game you can come out "on top". If you buy say two or three cars over a two year period you're a good customer but nothing special and may or may not get on the GT list.

However it’s still a gamble , at least buying at overs you know your exposure and you can decide if it’s acceptable to you - the other way could lead to nothing but a waste of £, time and effort.

The whole thing is a mess IMHO - I wish we could simply all order what we want, loose £ and be done with it - but I guess I’m just an old romantic fool

Agree with you on both counts. The world would be much healthier if things returned to normal and I think maybe we're starting to see the beginning of it.

From what i understand the dealers selling the "volume premium brands" i.e. Merc,BMW and Audi are struggling for sales at the moment....maybe Porsche are feeling it to with the 718...and I also suspect 911's are not selling as well as your average OPC would have you believe. It's been relatively easy to get hold of new 991.2 GTS's and also cars like the T we've been told we're sold out are appearing at OPC's as delivery mileage and certainly one OPC I popped into a couple of weeks ago still had a couple of T's looking for a home.

I don’t think much will change as long as cheap credit remains - OPC’s need to distinguish between people who are in this market and people who have the means and desire to own these regardless of this : these are the customers that will be important in the long term when things get tough : but in truth, this may be a long way away and I don’t think this is even on their radar now as they can make much more out of people who do as tree7777 has done - which is fair enough

4 years ago I had no relationship with my OPC. I brought a new Macan every 3-4 months (making sure I sold the old one back to them) and soon got offered a GT car. That’s the best way but not cheap.

So the question is. Do you buy and flip per the above to get in to a GT or just pay the overs? Be interesting to understand the cost of your flipping exercise vs just waiting and paying overs.

Guess the beauty of being the first owner, cost aside, is first name on the log book and your spec.

The main thing to say is over the years I have done my bks on cars. (I am massively down) I have no interest in making money. Since I was 5 I have loved cars and just wanted to drive them. My wife would be much happier if I had never brought any. All speculators do is stop people like us getting the cars we want!

Someone had posted "I've got a GT3 allocation and want to sell my slot" ....it's been deleted.

Because sales posts are strictly forbidden and policed!

possibly, with the gt2 @ £600-700k I can see why people are incentivized to buy more crappy base models from porsche in hope

interesting they are £300k now, deffo wasn't worth paying overs in this instance

I think I may have a solution; buy the salesman a stainless steel Rolex

Blimey. I wonder how many buyers there were at 600+. Maybe only a few who have lost £300k on a gt2?!

Seem to recollect the top spec Guards Red car on CC from the K Leonard collection made nearer £350k.

It’s silly to raise this again. We all know the “game”, right now it’s gone completely bonkers with no used stock, incredible demand for new allocations on any car…. Therefore dealers have it so easy, name out of a hat (only the best customers in that hat) and still guaranteed buy back.

When I bought the 992 C4S, order placed in August last year and I was on for a Turbo S before placing it, no previous purchase history except a Macan Turbo order the month before ….. “you need previous history to get a GT OR TURBO allocation at the moment”

It’s not just GT cars, even the C4S took 6 months.
