You're quoting "MSRP" and purchase rules on a 850k+ car deal, none of that matters at that level, anything you want is possible at that price point.

Like I said, the dealer can do whatever he or she wants, including losing money selling a car. That's the law.
What you're suggesting is that your friend, and the dealer, considered the two cars (911 and 918) as one transaction when discussing price. It happens.
Still, the 911 is not "gratis" for buying a 918 as you stated. It is a 2012 sold right now. The 918 will be a 2014, to be delivered very late 2013 if not early 2014. Two very separate transactions, by law.
If ANYTHING happens to the 918 before delivery, your friend can walk away from the deal. By law. And get a refund of any deposits made. By law.
So for the dealer to lose $30K on a car delivered today based on a deal to be delivered more than a year in the future is a complete idiot. And most Porsche dealers aren't idiots. So I doubt that's exactly how it went down.
