Default I think I am kinda screwed - Made deposit and dealer quit

Hey guys,

I am a noob trying my hardest to get 991.2 GT3 RS.

I did put in 2 deposits at 2 different dealers and relaxed - thinking that one day I would get the car. Apparently wasn't the case.

One dealer told me that I have low chance of getting the car

Another dealer told me that I am #5 but he quit the job??? He works somewhere else? Then what happened to my deposit?

Am I really screwed? Is there a hope in this situation? I am thinking that it might be too late to place a deposit elsewhere.




BTW, would buying a boxster or sth help my chance? I don't want to buy something ridiculous like cayenne turbo just to get RS.

You put a deposit down at a Porsche dealer and your SA quit and you're worried that your deposit is gone? As long as you didn't give the SA cash out back by the dumpster without a receipt, I'd suggest you call the dealer and inquire about it. I'm sure the deposit's fine. Whether you get a car or not, is another story.

I put in a deposit on my car and my SA quit, and it didn't affect anything. I held onto my place in the list and eventually got the car when I originally thought I would.

The sale reverts from a dealer sale to a house sale, which I think means the dealership makes more money off of since they don't have to pay a commission on it (but someone like CJ would have to chime in to confirm).

991.2rs is still unconfirmed. Very doubtful if ever will be built.

Why are people putting deposits on cars that are so far off if ever, with a dealer they have no relationship with???

I'm not sure I should even dip my toe in the water but I'm a "noob" also so I guess I can't help it....... so your dealer quit or the SA quit? and you are worried about a deposit on a car that is not confirmed or even on table yet? WOWZERS!!!! I suggest you kindly go to the dealer and ask for your deposit back! You are not fit to play the deposit game......you are scared of your own shadow!

People. The bubble is about to burst. Next recession is coming and it's going to hit hard. Signs are everywhere

Why do people assume no 991.2 3rs?

I need to think of the perfect thing to say to my local jackass dealer when the next recession hits and they call me. Gets me all fuzzy inside
