Again - just because they CAN doesn't mean they SHOULD.Bingo! ECON 101 - Supply and Demand. Almost no supply, and lots of demand. Prices rise.
It's the same reason they can charge your $9 for a beer at the baseball stadium during a game. There is lots of demand, and only one supplier.
There are plenty of supply constrained products you can buy without mark-ups.
Also - keep in mind that IF Porsche decided they wanted this kind of relationship with customers, a tactical, transactional one vs. longer term loyalty... then at least they ought to benefit from it, but instead it's a sleazy dealer playing middle-man.
This is even worse for GT3 cars: some dealers even auction them off.
I bet on downturns, they dealers don't pay for the rebates - they instead ask corporate for discount programs etc.
