What's the latest word on getting a 718 T/S/GTS allocation in the US? Last I heard 718 T allocations are available now, but S and GTS 4.0 won't be available until later. Is this still the case?

Any day now. I've been talking with a S FL dealer the last few weeks. I almost went in on a GT4 allocation last week, but the GTS is the better fit for me (I like to put lots of miles on cars) and the $10k ADM just widens the gap. I'll report in once I'm able to get a slot.

Dealing with Porsche dealers in SoFL is like paying poker with someone else's marked deck. Do some calling around!

It’s weird how dealers work it differently… JBSea gave a deposit for a demand order to be in line for an allocation. I sent my dealer an email with my build, he put in a demand order, and he called me about 3 weeks later and said he had an allocation. I went there, gave a modest deposit, and he gave me the allocation & commission info with progression dates. Then I walked out.
Two very different experiences.

Sent my dealer that sold me my Targa asking about a Boxster GTS allocation and he said he had one that was just cancelled- so I took that allocation for my wife’s new car.
Then a few days later I sent the porsche dealer closer to my home and where I service my Targa about a GT4 allocation and he said they have one from a cancellation as well.
now I have a GTS Boxster and a GT4 on order within several weeks with just two emails. So I wonder if this hype about how hard it is to get GTS and GT4 allocations is all genius marketing hype engineered by Porsche’s marketing people.
I asked for a $2,000 discount on the GTS and the dealer said fine instantly.
lucky or the noise about scarcity of allocations is noise?

Lucky - there are lots of people here looking for allocations, especially those with the 4.0 engines...GT4s & Spyders are the hardest to get.

I had a similar experience. I live in the greater Los Angeles area, and at the very end of April I decided I wanted a Cayman GTS. I called the closest dealer to me, they didn't have an allocation. I called the second closest dealer and they offered me a GT4 instead which I passed on. Called the 3rd closest dealer and they told me they should have something for me in a couple of days. 4 Days later I get a call back and I've got a V200 allocation for a 2022 for October Delivery.
Hopefully everyone who is looking is able to get one!

I agree with Bob Z. What he describes has been my experience so far and talking to 4 "local" dealers in two states and no allocations at all.

Well, I was told today that they have no allocation info, but that I may be the lucky winner and be given the opportunity to pay them $100k by December. Maybe. (Cayman GTS 4.0).
Crazy first world problems.
