Crazy Dealership Scandal Involving GT3(RS)'s, Deposits, and $2.5 million

[WRXtranceformed]

Read through a bunch of that thread that really sucks but...I don't care how badly I wanted something like that you would not catch me putting a sizable deposit down on something like a vehicle for the possibility of getting one. There is literally no reason to other than some dealers forcing it. If the demand is really that strong for a vehicle like that, a dealership will have no problem selling it or giving up your spot in line to someone else if you skip on the payment / pickup.

And I don't know a lot about car dealership cash flow or how the financials of their manufacturer buying / selling to consumer process works, but in my mind if a dealer needs your deposits up front for any reason I would strongly question the viability of that business or what is going on there.

That's just me though sipping Kermit tea judging rich people's first world problems.

And it sounds like I'm not the only one that feels that way, from a guy with over 12k posts on that thread:

What a joke this whole Porsche GT car deposit thing is. Some USA dealers are probably holding a couple million $$ each in interest free $$. I wouldn't trust them with my money.
