    I also know someone with a GT4RS coming. Apparently the dealer is forcing him to trade them back one of his current GT4 and he’s paying msrp if not more.
    This isn't uncommon for the buyer to trade back in their existing GT car in order to secure the allocation of the latest edition. I would put money on it that he's paying MSRP for the 4RS but he won't get market value for the trade in, which enables the dealer to get the upside on the used car.

    If the used market is still strong for the GT4 and it's low mileage, they may give him back what he paid, which is reasonable.
    I like neat cars.

    Yeah not sure if he’s giving back the 781 or the 718, I think the 718 is going back since the 781 is more track prepped. Apparently he can’t even get a GT3 allocation either and I know he has 3-4+ Porsches already.

    I like that people are buying these cars. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous.

    Fuck Porsche and their greasy lame tactics

    Not sure how they run under the same umbrella as the rest of the VAG. None of the other brand have nearly as shitty of a buying experience.

    I agree, although I think it says more about the customer base that these tactics work.

    I actually think Ferrari dealers treat you better than Porsche dealers. Ferrari customers are a different breed though. They wear too much Ferrari merch into Safeway and their local pub, and obsess over mileage.

    incentives on the lighting that's pretty much sold out for hte next 2 years? good luck.
    Ye have little faith. I have always managed to get deals when there were supposedly none to be had on vehicles.

    Good call on the order. Will be a neat truck.
    This was my end game for the foreseeable future. What I didn't see was gas prices polevaulting past high price markers. And while my current hybrid is neat, I don't think it is any better on gas than the non hybrid 3.5L. And I am pretty easy on the skinny peddle. So the savings I was hoping for are not really there. I was planning on the lightning, but not for another 3 years.

    I was told orders are closed, oh well. Even a pro would be pretty sweet, but I’d take lariat. At least they can work out a few of the kinks before you get yours.
    Orders are closed on the Ford website, but from what I have experienced, dealers can still submit orders.

    well, more of a best guess from the dealer of when it might arrive.

    1 year later and the original premise of this thread still holds true.

    Used market is off the chains for the prices people want.

    I can't see how some people can justify paying these insane mark up prices....#yolo? Take a used ZL1 for example, some are in the $90k+ region while you can spec one out at $74k on chevy.ca. Are people that desperate for vehicles they are willing to pay $20k+ more instead of waiting? Used ZL1s with very low mileage were in the high 50s, low 60s pre pandemic.

    We live in an age of instant gratification. People want what they want now and don't care about the financial repercussions, hence the current used car market madness.

    I believe that's called Supply and Demand.

    So in the case of Porsche, where the supply side are also poopoo heads. How does that work?
