Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

He's in the works of trying to make a deal on a 2008 Porsche GT3 for me. It could even happen today but nothing is for sure until it happens. The car is up in Maryland. If he does make the deal I'm undecided if I'm going to go get it with my enclosed car trailer or truck in down to Florida. They are only importing 100 GT3's into the US for 2008. At this point they are all spoken for and you can't even order one. The car is yellow and has some nice options including ceramic brakes. The only thing I'm not sure about is the suede seats.
Hey gary, did you want to see if the one I ordered is still available? its scheduled for Nov delivery ORANGE!!!

FMINUS, I would buy it for a little over MSRP but not to much. I like the car very much but I don't feel the car is just not worth the $$ they have been going for. To me the GT3 RS is only worth about $10,000 more then a GT3. That was about Porsche's difference in MSRP. If you want to check please let me know ASAP. I'm working on a detail to a get a 2008 GT3 at MSRP. I think it may happen next week. The car was just delivered up in Maryland.

According to the New Zealand ralley race rules my friend is using the RS in you have to start with a stock car. They also have rules as to what you can do to it. He's doing everything within the framework of the rules.

I called my buddy at the Porsche dealer and he said that once I let it go another person swiped it up less than 30 minutes later.

I was getting the car at 2K under MSRP. It was a friend who worked at RUSNAK hookup. I guess they resold it for 10K over MSRP.

Sorry, I didnt know you were in the market for one. After knowing how hot these cars are now, I am now thinking maybe I could of worked one into the budget? But then I would have to forgo my search for my Imola NSX...

Thanks FMINUS, You should have got the car and sold it if you did not want it. You could have made a quick $30,000 - $40,000 on the car. $2,000 off MSRP is a great deal on that car.

I have been looking at both a GT3 and a Turbo. A Porsche Dealer in Texas offered me $8,000 off MSRP on a 2008 Turbo Saturday. They have an 2007 Turbo with 650 miles on it that I really like. It's really loaded up and has an MSRP of $155,400. I have been trying to beat them down to about $135,000. I have found a pretty good deal on a 2008 GT3.
