I am going to be in the market for a sports car in the next 6-12 months so I went to look at Porsche!

Salesperson was nice did say getting a gt3 is near impossible but on the whole it left me wondering a few things… I was told that the current wait for a carrera is 18+ months!!

1.) I understand shortages but it seems like the product mix is out of whack when your (over?) producing on things like suvs / electric cars rather than the core stuff people want?

2.) There was a used GT3 for sale in the 280k range…

  1. If car availability is an issue is parts the same way if I have an issue will it take months?

4.) I’m really open to what is going to scratch the second / third car itch am I missing something I have cross shopped the Vette/zo6 - used GTR - Aston Martin - Merc SL line

Again the salesperson was nice let me drive multiple cars etc (was a bit cocky) and said there were waits on models etc … should I even try to get something here or order from a diff dealer. I’m in Jacksonville if that helps any…

    Any GT car will be challenging if not impossible to get within your purchasing timeframe but YMMV depending on what market you’re in.

    Are you looking for a custom build? Are you set on wanting a gt car? Your comparison set of cars is all over the place - what is the main use case for the car - just for fun driving? Comfortable for long rides? Track time?

    You’re kind of all over the place with what you’re shopping for. You will probably not be able to spec a 911 and get one in 6 to 12 months unless you pay adm to jump the list. Or someone backs out of their build and everyone ahead of you on the wait list passes on it.
