It's the same at almost every other high end dealership. Say you have two douchebags. One buys a Porsche every year, often the top end with bells and whistles. Maybe he buys a couple extra for staff bonuses or his shitty kids. Then you have douchebag two. He has one Porsche that he trades in every other year, then buys a few lower end models.

Never believe a dealer. Call head office and ask them. They will tell you which dealers can or still have allocation. I could get information without being a buyer, therefore a serious buyer will get proper information.

And I even had to register with Toyota Canada.. But the second I tried to grab more than one. They're gonna slam the breaks on me I know it.
I've worked in the industry for over a decade and I'm in Canada not in the United States. I'm on a pre-registered list for the new land cruiser. I can't even give a deposit from.

@@s..a893no one buys 8 cars during 2023 to get to an ordinary car like GT3 RS.. He is lying. 918 was special and the GT2rs was special but not 8 cars special
Bro was dumb. If this story is true at all. Its likely only half-true. Maybe he was a shady, grifting car flipper and they would rather sell the car to someone who is a friend of the dealership. There is more business in that.
This is why you find an owner and offer them more than they paid. At least if they say yes, you actually get the car. No dealer BS. I’ve never bought from a dealer and I don’t think I will.
The problem is that Porsche only produces an extremely limited number of them each year. This means the car dealer gets the allocation from Porsche for 2-3 GT3s this year. The dealer now has to decide who he will sell it to. He has many long-term customers with countless purchases and then the person mentioned in the video comes forward who apparently has never bought a Porsche there. Of course, he first has to build up trust and loyalty, which countless other potential buyers have already done
Well, Ferrari’s don’t have the prestige a Porshe has, and also getting a Ferrari is not that much of a big deal if you have the money to spend. Owning a Porshe is not about having the money to afford it.
@@RA-fb5szFerrari is a more prestigious brand than Porsche, they're the most successful team in the pinnacle of motorsport racing, they have good amount victories at Le Mans as well. They don't cater into mass market products like Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, Taycan or Cayman/Boxster. And owning a Porsche literally requires lesser money than owning a Ferrari.
It's definitely true. Go to a dealer and try to buy a gt3 rs and see what happens. They probably won't even sell you a 911 turbo much less a gt3 rs as a first time walk in customer.
The dealership finessed the shit outta him. I’m pretty sure u have to own a Porsche, Porsche watch and be a known client at your Porsche house. Then the chances are pretty high, that you can get one. What I don’t get is. A guy bought 8 Porsches instead of flying to Germany or contact a Porsche house in Germany and do business with them..
Yet UA-camrs like Matt Watson from Carwow, who has never purchased a brand new Porsche before, get a location and recently took delivery of he’s GT3 RS.
@@flatsix245true this is the kinda of stuff that only Ferrari does for the more limited edition. Didn't heard Porsche,Pagani,Bugatti,Koenigsegg,Lamborghini,Mclaren they don't do this.

Shmee said something similar, which is why he switched to Ferrari. He still has to play the game, but Ferrari is clear and upfront with how to get there. They honor the promise of “buy this and we will let you buy this other car”.
Similar story to the guy who was promised a Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5980/1R-001 if he built up a purchase history, over 18 months he purchased 3 watches and some jewellery, the promised Nautilus never arrived. The dealer kept stringing him along, when he bought the second watch the dealer knew they were loosing authorised dealer status and would not be able to deliver the promised watch, but that didn’t stop them from selling him a third watch and some jewellery.
Biggest load of 💩 I've heard, 110 for 2 macans , 80 for the Cheyenne and say 200 for a couple of 911's......800k minimum for cars you don't even want 😂 NO CHANCE

I mean, he could’ve emailed a few other dealers…or even just find one a dealer already has due to someone backing out, that’s close to the spec he wanted. There’s always someone selling a brand new Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, ford GT, or whatever else around here, regardless of purchase agreements signed to obtain said cars. Always.
They didn’t deny it. There’s specific allocation. Put your deposit down and if there’s enough for you, you’ll get it. If not get will refund the deposit. Can’t sell what you don’t have.

@@autozone5695i have a feeling this video is BS. Gt3rs in essence and super special not like it was a one in 50 which i understand but gt3 rs is surely porches bread and butter
I find this hard to believe. Just visited my first Porsche dealer with my nephew this weekend. I am not someone with the means to purchase a car from them. The sales rep was extremely polite and nice, showed us around and gave us a couple lanyards. So my first experience with Porsche was outstanding.
Same thing happened to me last year, walked into Porsche Nottingham to spec up a GT3RS with the Wissach package, then I get this jumped up tosser telling me I can’t just walk in off the street & spec one of these!!🤔 After 20 mins of him saying I had to buy cars & then sell gem back to them when trade in time came round I finally lost my shit with him, told him to FO & went & bought a plot of land & built 5 5 bed houses which made me a lot of profit!!👍
Porsche only want the “famous” & “noble” to own their RS models.. they’re by invitation only for a reason. It also keeps their RS models relevant & high in value.. seems they’re so hard to get hold of.. regardless if you have the money or not. UA-camrs have purchased RS models.. and some of them are barely old enough to shave.. so buying 10 models is absolute nonsense & just a stalling tactic as the dealer tried to make the hurdle to get one so hard.. he ignorantly expected the guy to back down & he didn’t. RS models are their flagship vehicle.. the way Porsche see it.. the people that drive them.. carry Porsches best face of makeup.
@@neeravreddy9360 lol… so anyone that’s an “enthusiast” can just order a RS yeah?… 😂🤦🏽♂️ stop talking nonsense. You have to have a platform or be somebody that’s credible to even be considered.
@@neeravreddy9360 yeah.. right.. find me one client that’s not a credible figure that owns one buddy.

The CEO said what he needed too on camera for “equality” reasons as being a blatant snob on camera is bad for the companies image & most definitely their stock price. The proof of what types of people get these cars isn’t who’s on the waiting list.. it’s who takes delivery of them.
This is completely BS story buddy LOL, my neighbor went to the Porsche dealer and purchased his first Porsche. Guess what, it was a fully speced GT3 RS. Whos the moron saying you need to be famous to buy a GT3 RS?? LMFAO Even if this story was true it would have nothing to do with Porsche as a manufacture, the dealer would be making the decision to have practices like this, so making claims about what Porsche values as a company based on how their dealer conduct imaginary business is dumb lol. ANYONE can go to any Porsche dealer and spec out a GT3 and they will get you one. Please, I implore you to call a dealer and see for yourself. You really think Porsche would decline 200k+ in hopes that they can get the customer to spend 750k? So what? Only the obscenely rich can buy the GT3 RS? What a moronic business practice. And even if this wasn't BS, why wouldn't you just go to a different dealer? Have some common sense lmao
This absolutely not a true story. Anyone with that kind of money would know the first rule of any transaction like this would be to have it all in writing.
When I hear someone say “We promise…” in a vehicle transaction, I want it in writing. If I was required to own 10 different vehicles prior, I would also want a qualification that states, “In the event that the promise cannot be fulfilled, all purchases made as a requirement will be refunded and the cars returned at the original agreed price”
Marc Mccan tried to get one too, finnaly he realized its too dificult and expensive in the traditional way and flipped his Lamborghini Urus for a gt3 rs with a reseller.
saw a video yesterday of a guy proofing the car market (including porsche) is on a decline. he showed porsche listings on autotrader and the cars don't sell even after a few price reductions
That’s an insane story if true. Also would have been a lot easier to just pay the extra 100-200k and buy second hand from an exotic car dealer. Don’t get to spec it yourself. but still better than buying 8 other cars you don’t need
It is quite common with Porsche dealers in the UK. It's actually a lot easier to pay the extra amount as markup for a preowned car and this amount will be about the same that's lost due to the depreciation of those interim cars, also the owner doesn't have to wait 5-6 months or sometimes 1-2 years to take delivery of the car but they do have the luxury of choosing what they want and sometimes that does dictate the resale value of the car.
It’s still hilarious to me that Porsche and Ferrari enthusiasts still fall for this scam. There is no actual “requirement” that you must buy any number of pre owned or low tier cars before you can buy what you want. There’s no customer loyalty tally board at stuttgart or Maranello saying “5 more to go!” Dealerships just have limited allocation and they will always make more off of used cars or volume sales, so they create that illusion and somehow rich people are stupid enough to fall for that scam😂
First red flag the fact that the dealer said you gotta buy 10 cars just to get a GT3 RS so I don’t feel bad for him. All he had to do was be patient and wait. I work in the exotic car industry and I’ve had three of these cars at my job. Two of the clients didn’t want the car So they went back to the dealership they brought them from If he was patient he could’ve just paid over sticker on these used cars and save a lot of money
Porsche have a lot of long time loyal buyers who will get priority. It’s after decades of ownership you earn the right to drive a limited run model, so that not just any upstart can have one.
And THIS is why you get shit like this IN WRITING, and not just from DP personally, but from the dealership itself. Otherwise dealership may try to wiggle out of it.
If he has enough money to just buy a handful of cars just to get a GT3RS, he should be able to a) buy a scalped build slot orrr... b) have sufficient legal representation at his disposal to put some heavy pressure on the dealer for leading him down this road of buying so many cars without the pay off his given assurance of...

Never believe a dealer. Call head office and ask them. They will tell you which dealers can or still have allocation. I could get information without being a buyer, therefore a serious buyer will get proper information.
In today's new car market? Right now I'm attempting to purchase vehicles for A hedge fund manager Who is slipping vehicles past Whatever they have to be slipped past in China to be sold there. Sounds like a pretty easy job right? It's not.. I'm in Canada and I'm on the waiting list for the new land cruiser at every Toyota dealership from gander Newfoundland to Victoria british Columbia. And I even had to register with Toyota Canada.. But the second I tried to grab more than one. They're gonna slam the breaks on me I know it.

I've worked in the industry for over a decade and I'm in Canada not in the United States. I'm on a pre-registered list for the new land cruiser. I can't even give a deposit from.
Gander Newfound to Victoria british Columbia.
And I'm also registered with Toyota Canada. I need at least 5 extended Cadillac diesel escalades. And when a sales person hears I've got a couple 1000 bucks for deposit.
The rest payable on Delivery. So thanks for clearing up serious for me.
And I love how you think you can call head office and talk to the boss.
when i want to find out about a product i go to the source. when i called my advent calendar company, i didnt call their african office, i called straight to germany. to the town/city they started. to the help centre of origin. not some outsourced partner who decides to use indian oursourced call service with a predetermined script. common sense.

Bro got finessed
Bro was dumb. If this story is true at all. Its likely only half-true. Maybe he was a shady, grifting car flipper and they would rather sell the car to someone who is a friend of the dealership. There is more business in that.
This is why you find an owner and offer them more than they paid. At least if they say yes, you actually get the car. No dealer BS. I’ve never bought from a dealer and I don’t think I will.

Them crooks at Rolex pull this sht off with watches, but to go from 5k-20k watches to 70k 150k cars should be considered a crime.
$5-20k is a lot of money for most people, should be a crime as well
Not even that. You have to apply for a watch. Maybe in 3 years they will call you back.
The problem is that Porsche only produces an extremely limited number of them each year. This means the car dealer gets the allocation from Porsche for 2-3 GT3s this year. The dealer now has to decide who he will sell it to. He has many long-term customers with countless purchases and then the person mentioned in the video comes forward who apparently has never bought a Porsche there. Of course, he first has to build up trust and loyalty, which countless other potential buyers have already done
If he said Ferrari it would have been more believeable
Well, Ferrari’s don’t have the prestige a Porshe has, and also getting a Ferrari is not that much of a big deal if you have the money to spend. Owning a Porshe is not about having the money to afford it.
@@RA-fb5szFerrari is a more prestigious brand than Porsche, they're the most successful team in the pinnacle of motorsport racing, they have good amount victories at Le Mans as well. They don't cater into mass market products like Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, Taycan or Cayman/Boxster. And owning a Porsche literally requires lesser money than owning a Ferrari.
This is still believable, plenty of stories about Porsche dealership making such demands.
It's definitely true. Go to a dealer and try to buy a gt3 rs and see what happens. They probably won't even sell you a 911 turbo much less a gt3 rs as a first time walk in customer.
This is true!
Porsche would've never done that...
Porsche not, but the dealership. They get an allocation of how many GT3 RS they can sell and can then decide on their own who they sell it to.
No it’s true. Porsche are snobby arseholes
Rolex does the same shit
Right… The problem is the American car dealer system. Too much power is in the dealers hands.
The dealership finessed the shit outta him. I’m pretty sure u have to own a Porsche, Porsche watch and be a known client at your Porsche house.
Then the chances are pretty high, that you can get one.
What I don’t get is. A guy bought 8 Porsches instead of flying to Germany or contact a Porsche house in Germany and do business with them..
Yet UA-camrs like Matt Watson from Carwow, who has never purchased a brand new Porsche before, get a location and recently took delivery of he’s GT3 RS.
That guy is so annoying aswell

CarWow is very famous and influential on UA-cam. Companies don't wanna miss a big opportunity to Collab with a big social media influencer. The channel averages 1 million views per video....that is straight free marketing for any companies.
You just said he needed to buy at least 10, but only bought 8....
Shmee said something similar, which is why he switched to Ferrari. He still has to play the game, but Ferrari is clear and upfront with how to get there. They honor the promise of “buy this and we will let you buy this other car”.
On top of that Ferrari dealers don't charge a markup.

Similar story to the guy who was promised a Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5980/1R-001 if he built up a purchase history, over 18 months he purchased 3 watches and some jewellery, the promised Nautilus never arrived. The dealer kept stringing him along, when he bought the second watch the dealer knew they were loosing authorised dealer status and would not be able to deliver the promised watch, but that didn’t stop them from selling him a third watch and some jewellery.
Biggest load of 💩 I've heard, 110 for 2 macans , 80 for the Cheyenne and say 200 for a couple of 911's......800k minimum for cars you don't even want 😂 NO CHANCE
Lool this guy sounds like he is talking out of his phat seams. Noone would spend a million to get disrespected like that
If you are loaded and want a gt3 its possible. Because you can literally tax write off most of the cars as a business expense
If you have 50m and/or a business 800K is nothing.
800k to peasants like ourselves is mammoth money, but its chump change for more people than you could imagine. So much so. You've got people who will frivolously spend 10m on useless shit
The world has gone crazy😂
Then theres matt watson getting one on finance 😅
😂 first person I thought of
I mean, he could’ve emailed a few other dealers…or even just find one a dealer already has due to someone backing out, that’s close to the spec he wanted. There’s always someone selling a brand new Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, ford GT, or whatever else around here, regardless of purchase agreements signed to obtain said cars. Always.
Smart enough to earn enough to buy a bunch of very expensive cars he didn’t want, to be out smarted by a simple salesman. Irony at its finest.
‘A fool and his money are easily parted ‘
That's surely a lawsuit waiting to happen a dealer can't deny the purchase of a vehicle...unless you're like hella sketchy
They didn’t deny it. There’s specific allocation. Put your deposit down and if there’s enough for you, you’ll get it. If not get will refund the deposit. Can’t sell what you don’t have.

I find this hard to believe. Just visited my first Porsche dealer with my nephew this weekend. I am not someone with the means to purchase a car from them. The sales rep was extremely polite and nice, showed us around and gave us a couple lanyards. So my first experience with Porsche was outstanding.
Same thing happened to me last year, walked into Porsche Nottingham to spec up a GT3RS with the Wissach package, then I get this jumped up tosser telling me I can’t just walk in off the street & spec one of these!!🤔
After 20 mins of him saying I had to buy cars & then sell gem back to them when trade in time came round I finally lost my shit with him, told him to FO & went & bought a plot of land & built 5 5 bed houses which made me a lot of profit!!👍
Bro got scammed hes gotta sue that dealer
Porsche only want the “famous” & “noble” to own their RS models.. they’re by invitation only for a reason. It also keeps their RS models relevant & high in value.. seems they’re so hard to get hold of.. regardless if you have the money or not. UA-camrs have purchased RS models.. and some of them are barely old enough to shave.. so buying 10 models is absolute nonsense & just a stalling tactic as the dealer tried to make the hurdle to get one so hard.. he ignorantly expected the guy to back down & he didn’t. RS models are their flagship vehicle.. the way Porsche see it.. the people that drive them.. carry Porsches best face of makeup.
Not true. Quite the opposite. They want enthusiasts to own their cars. Even said by the ceo himself.
@@neeravreddy9360 lol… so anyone that’s an “enthusiast” can just order a RS yeah?… 😂🤦🏽♂️ stop talking nonsense. You have to have a platform or be somebody that’s credible to even be considered.

@@neeravreddy9360 yeah.. right.. find me one client that’s not a credible figure that owns one buddy. Someone who doesn’t have “presence” .. rolling into Porsche expressing your love for cars with 300k in your pocket isn’t enough to buy one. The CEO said what he needed too on camera for “equality” reasons as being a blatant snob on camera is bad for the companies image & most definitely their stock price. The proof of what types of people get these cars isn’t who’s on the waiting list.. it’s who takes delivery of them.
This is completely BS story buddy LOL, my neighbor went to the Porsche dealer and purchased his first Porsche. Guess what, it was a fully speced GT3 RS. Whos the moron saying you need to be famous to buy a GT3 RS?? LMFAO
Even if this story was true it would have nothing to do with Porsche as a manufacture, the dealer would be making the decision to have practices like this, so making claims about what Porsche values as a company based on how their dealer conduct imaginary business is dumb lol.
ANYONE can go to any Porsche dealer and spec out a GT3 and they will get you one.
Please, I implore you to call a dealer and see for yourself.
You really think Porsche would decline 200k+ in hopes that they can get the customer to spend 750k? So what? Only the obscenely rich can buy the GT3 RS? What a moronic business practice.
And even if this wasn't BS, why wouldn't you just go to a different dealer?
Have some common sense lmao
That’s how you keep demand and hype
Scummy sales people are even at Porsche dealerships. The dude forgot to mention the second part at the start, so the guy will buy more stuff

@@thesnowman2509 I work at the docks I drive those off the vessels before the dealership even gets to see / work on them.

He should buy the dealership and fire that guy!

Like super models, if we all had them they wouldn't be special.
These are some amazing opportunities for legal lawsuits against dealers and Porsche brand for unfairly misleading claims
This absolutely not a true story. Anyone with that kind of money would know the first rule of any transaction like this would be to have it all in writing.
And this dude is lying
Nope
Porsche are the Rolex of automotive industrie.
Before Covid, I only had to buy 9 Porsches I didn’t want to get the one I never got.
When I hear someone say “We promise…” in a vehicle transaction, I want it in writing. If I was required to own 10 different vehicles prior, I would also want a qualification that states, “In the event that the promise cannot be fulfilled, all purchases made as a requirement will be refunded and the cars returned at the original agreed price”
I’ve taken the gt3rs on the track, best advice is to save all those thousands and just have a weekend of fun taking one out.
I smell a lawsuit, especially if he got that agreement in ink.
Marc Mccan tried to get one too, finnaly he realized its too dificult and expensive in the traditional way and flipped his Lamborghini Urus for a gt3 rs with a reseller.
saw a video yesterday of a guy proofing the car market (including porsche) is on a decline. he showed porsche listings on autotrader and the cars don't sell even after a few price reductions
Porsche dealers behaving like Rolex dealers
bro bagged that commission.
Porsche requirements for a low horsepower carbon fiber sports luxury car is crazy😂
and this, kids, is why belief systems still work.
That’s an insane story if true. Also would have been a lot easier to just pay the extra 100-200k and buy second hand from an exotic car dealer. Don’t get to spec it yourself. but still better than buying 8 other cars you don’t need
It is quite common with Porsche dealers in the UK.
It's actually a lot easier to pay the extra amount as markup for a preowned car and this amount will be about the same that's lost due to the depreciation of those interim cars, also the owner doesn't have to wait 5-6 months or sometimes 1-2 years to take delivery of the car but they do have the luxury of choosing what they want and sometimes that does dictate the resale value of the car.
Sounds like he’s Porsches client and your customer, right stock right time
Greatest salesman ive heard of. Thats fucking epic if true.
It’s still hilarious to me that Porsche and Ferrari enthusiasts still fall for this scam. There is no actual “requirement” that you must buy any number of pre owned or low tier cars before you can buy what you want. There’s no customer loyalty tally board at stuttgart or Maranello saying “5 more to go!” Dealerships just have limited allocation and they will always make more off of used cars or volume sales, so they create that illusion and somehow rich people are stupid enough to fall for that scam😂
He got done DIRTY!😮
Ive got a client too. Names santa Claus 😂😂😂😂
ONLY reason Porsche did this to him maybe this people brought car and didn't drive and sell on
I still dont think bro will go hungry
Every time i see someone driving a Porsche gt3 rs i know they rich rich 🤑
Small print gives a wink 😉
First red flag the fact that the dealer said you gotta buy 10 cars just to get a GT3 RS so I don’t feel bad for him. All he had to do was be patient and wait. I work in the exotic car industry and I’ve had three of these cars at my job. Two of the clients didn’t want the car So they went back to the dealership they brought them from If he was patient he could’ve just paid over sticker on these used cars and save a lot of money
Not surprised one bit. Know multiple people where Porsche told them to buy this and that just for GT3 allocation let alone an RS.
To buy so many turds to get allocated a super weapon is self defeating
There’s a sucker born every minute😂 “just buy two or three more and I promise it’ll be guaranteed”
Porsche took a look at how Rolex and their ADs work, and thought, yeah, we can apply that to cars.
Could have bought one with delivery miles on the secondary market. Screw the dealers that screw the customers.
That is called a scam, dealer must've been overjoyed tho.
the 3rs was just a leverage point for the porsche dealers to empty their taycan stock 😂
Porsche have a lot of long time loyal buyers who will get priority. It’s after decades of ownership you earn the right to drive a limited run model, so that not just any upstart can have one.
And THIS is why you get shit like this IN WRITING, and not just from DP personally, but from the dealership itself. Otherwise dealership may try to wiggle out of it.
If he had any documentation of the promise or contract that would be a nice lawsuit 🤣
I know a motorcycle dealer in San Francisco that had to buy Triumph Rocket 3's in order to get Speed Triples. The Rocket 3 is in NO WAY a City Bike.
Similar story happened to me for the Speedster. Sold my cars, went to Ferrari instead. Ferrari are actually easier to deal with.
Absolutely true.
Fine with me I would have sold all 8 of them and then never bought a Porsche again and made sure everyone I know hears this story.
Wow, they saw him coming lol.
The dealer principal probably wanted it for himself 😂
I would get a lawyer at that point wtf. I would hate Porsche if they did that to me.
Get a Turbo S , is quicker and faster plus the top speed is higher too .
If he has enough money to just buy a handful of cars just to get a GT3RS, he should be able to a) buy a scalped build slot orrr... b) have sufficient legal representation at his disposal to put some heavy pressure on the dealer for leading him down this road of buying so many cars without the pay off his given assurance of...
