Anyone who can get a GTS 4.0 at MSRP is getting a steal in today’s market. And there’s less of a downside, IMO, for depreciation in the pre-owned market too.

Well, we’ll see if any of us actually end up getting a 4.0, at MSRP or otherwise.

For what it's worth, Sam said their dealership is selling the GTS at MSRP. They're charging a $50,000 "market adjustment" on GT3s, though

I honestly have no problem with a deposit requirement, so long as it's refundable; $1000 seems about right. But asking for much more than that is just insulting.
That’s what it always was at BMW of SS. $500-$1,000. And frequently they would not run the charge or cash the check (if you had a good relationship with them). But that was years ago…

Yes, Sam told me the same, and I believe him—I’m just not confident in the number of allocations there will be.

I have a hunch that Porsche will build every single one they can. The question to me becomes "how many can they build?" given supply chain problems. I will not be super upset if my opportunity to buy a $100k car never comes
