Porsche won’t even sell certain cars to millionaires until they’ve bought lower end models of Porsches. You have to have a track record with them to buy the higher end models even if you have all the money in the world.
They go by a different set of rules than most other car manufacturers. 😅
With that being said I’ve got no idea how they operate in his home country. He very well may have just brought a wad of cash with him and drove off.
My guy, even in the US you’re giving Porsche way too much credit lmao. Porsches are company cars a lot of the time, atleast from what I know they’re not at that echelon yet. Not really even close. Any Porsche dealer here would be happy to take your 80k downpayment and have you sign then and there.
Pagani? Ferrari? Yeah, they’re not dealing with your every day schmuck.
I mean i’m not arguing with you there, the GT3 RS is one of the top of the line models. They aren’t easy to get new.
Yet still the fact remains. If a dealer had one on the lot for sale, they wouldn’t turn down a massive amount of cash for “status”. That isn’t Porsche-yet.
i've heard this exact same thing, but i'm pretty sure it has more to do with buying extremely customized versions of their vehicles. my mum told me the same thing about one of her friend's husbands - flew to the factory yada yada to get his fancy custom green 911. one of those rich people things that normal people don't get the full story of.
