    Typically, I buy low mile used cars, for wholesale. Sell for more.

    In this instance, I acted more as a broker. Dealership paid me, and the client paid me. Client got a better deal, than he could've negotiated. At the end of the day, client doesn't want to be bothered with buying cars.

    I am transitioning into higher priced vehicles. Trying to get out of depreciating cars.

    A friend of mine wants to buy a GT3. Recently, he was told that they are very difficult to find, and it would cost at least $100K over sticker.

    lol.

    GT3 RS maybe, but GT3s are easy to get. He might have to look outside his local dealers to find one at MSRP, if he wants brand new. Or he could buy this one.

    Right, the RS. He has been in touch with almost every dealer in the USA.
    This is a guy with quite a stable. I'll pass the link on. Thanks.

    Yeah. If he wants a 991 GT3 RS, he is going to have to pay up.

    Worked a DE at Road America last weekend, There were several GT3's there and a couple of cup cars.
    The best toy was a 1999 P333 owned by a doctor from Chicago.

    A porsche with an auto tranny is bad enough, but an elec. trunk? GTFO that alone would make me walk away

    Every supercar has gone dual clutch. Lamborghini and Ferrari don't even make manual cars. At least Porsche still has the option. Aston Martin too.

    I know that. When I drove the Aperta, I got out wondering to myself how cool it would have been if the veh. had a clutch....same with the 458 Italia. There was nothing as pure as the "grid" transmission shifter on the older ferrari's.
    I was referring more to the elec. trunk. Kind of gives it that going to the mall car vibe to me. I'm kind of an old RS America type guy.

    What about the 2017 ZR1?

    Actually the 2017 Zr1 will most likely have a DCT.

    A small-block V-8 will remain the powertrain of choice for the new ZR1—it’s an exotic but not that kind of exotic—and there’s a strong possibility it will come with a single transmission: a seven-speed dual-clutch. By the time regular C8 Corvettes arrive, however, a manual transmission should also be available. We could also see the new ZR1 adopt hybrid technology to ensure it can keep up in the technology stakes against its German and Japanese rivals.
