Loads for sale not on sites, same with 718 GT4,
Rich vips no risk, they get a car offload it to a 3rd party who have a little black book of clients.
.Org owner makes tax free cash, hardly hassle.
That's the way it probably works although i stand by my comment that these rich flippers aren't really into driving these special to drive RS WPs in the first place, otherwise they'd keep them for a year or two to enjoy and do some track days as i intend doing with mine.Rich vips no risk, they get a car offload it to a 3rd party who have a little black book of clients.

Just business like getting Rolex Daytona and making £10k Free money is free money.
No ones drives or wears these, they arrive and are offloaded straight away.

The fact is that happens, it’s not going to be 100% cars, every one has a story to tell. But a lot of cars get sold this way.
What group did you get yours from ?
Sounds to me that Juno and Hunter have both had an RS without have to play silly games, probably from the same dealer group based in London..If this is the case then fair play to the dealer..What group did you get yours from ?
Yes , OPC knew I liked Porsches and always driven them , not interested in making some extra spending money with a flip as have a job for that ..... bought a Gt product before in 2003 . But no other new cars ..... although did buy a T shirt once from them .
Was luckily offered the new RS ..... now done 9 k miles , so lost its flip ability now .
Had a great time though .... maybe time for a quick drive

Great to hear on so many levels . Getting allocation and then driving it as intended rather than a worrying about taking it out and adding miles. Was luckily offered the new RS ..... now done 9 k miles , so lost its flip ability now .

I have a wonderful 991.2 GT3 Manuel but you have my lotto car. How have you found 9000 road miles in the RS?

Even the old faithful customers who have been buying GT cars for years within that group when they were not even that popular are being frozen out. Allocations are done by the group HQ and not at dealer level, the group has no interest in one or two retail enthusiasts when they have BIG hitters spending millions across their range.
I agree with the above,i was informed from a maca dealer/group,they could get what i want at a higher level than the DP,but learnt this a bit late.
Hasn't Yellow got his eye out for one? Yes,think i have found just what i want.
Current special cars for sale:
17 SVJ
17 Pista
33 600LT
12 Senna
2 WP GT3RS
Says it all really

Well you prompted me to get out today. Only a few of hours , struggled to get heat into tyres, but had lovely time in Lincolnshire with a great lunch in the middle. Roads dry but greasy, couldn’t really get front end dialled in for early part of journey but then backed off a little and enjoyed the miles on quite empty roads . I put dampers on sport and quite surprised how things changed. It’s maybe not ideal setting for A snd B Roads but went with it . This seemed to help Rotate car into the corner and then gets you to power out of apex moment quicker . Might just be subliminal feel, but looking forward to 10c plus weather As has been mentioned in this thread before the new RS' pop up with an "Observe running-in programme" message on the dash when you first start them up.
I've now got around 950ish miles on the clock of my new Weissach RS, the manual says 900 miles running in. I was assuming that when the car clocked over 900 miles this would automatically disappear, but the message is still popping up each time I start.
Has this message disappeared for anyone yet, and if so when did it happen?

Think I saw yours at Fish Island Meet
Tick tock tick tock still waiting for mine, but just heard that it will be the last ever 991 to leave the factory!
Went a bit overboard on the interior stitching options so it's waiting for some yellow bits and bobs apparently.
Hopefully arriving in time for first RMA day on March 6th....
