So Cal Spyder allocation available at what I think is a high ADM of $25K, although maybe you can negotiate it down. PM me if you're interested.

My dealer said they are expecting allocations this month, when does it normally come so i can follow up with them . Which week in a month normally Porsche informs dealers about allocations?

On the third hour, of the third day, of the third week of the three quarter moon, look to the east for a sign.

I am very glad I just grabbed a 2022 GT4 at MSRP and getting all my money back for my 2020 GT4.

Lucky. I tried. I realllly tried to get an allocation at MSRP. But with no dealer relationships, even the Porsche dealer right down the street wanted a $10K ADM on a BGTS. Knowing full well that I would be servicing it there too. *sigh* I'm glad some of you are having better luck than me.

That's also what I heard, I was told July would be the next round of allocations.

For anyone wondering if the next gen GT4 being electric is a myth...

Spoke to a dealership yesterday and they mentioned they don't do waitlists as its FCFS when the allocation comes in.. anyone heard of that one before?

Adrift

Not sure how that makes sense. I am sure they fan out the info if they get an allocation to everyone they know is interested, at a minimum.

Yeah, I agree. That would be a bad business model not to have a list of potential buyers lined up.

I have not really seen FCFS in this market...My SA just reaches out to people on his list when allocations become available. For example, I referred a fellow Rennlister on here to him for GT4...an allocation later became available and was given to that RLer because he had his order demand in and ready to go. Same thing happened with a Spyder recently for another RLer. This SA does $70k for 4RS, $15k for GT4 / Spyder, and I believe less (maybe $10k?) for either GTS 4.0...He is adding people to his list with no deposit required until he has an allocation, so anyone on here is welcome to PM me to be connected with him.

If you cold-call a dealer and hear of any available slots, it's probably because the ADM is too high and none of their existing clients want it...or that they called they're existing clients / people on lists, but haven't heard back yet, so they may as well extend the opportunity.

For GT4 RS I have heard this multiple times.

boss2k

I dont think my question was that bad for you to respond in that manner, better dont respond at all !!!

BMW gets allocation 20-25th of every month and hence i wanted to know if there is a similar pattern

Adrift

It was a joke; lighten up, Francis.

And for ssiminou, I don't think the SA has any say in ADM. That is the SM/GM/dealership.

ssiminou

Yep, exactly. This is something a lot of people tend to forget. SM/GM/Dealer Principal are really the ones who decide on ADM. I think most SA's would love to sell cars at MSRP...But there's more at play behind the scenes.

When it comes to allocation release cycles, I've been trying to figure it out for a very long time, and it still doesn't entirely make sense to me. 'Normal' cars are allocated monthly...GT cars are completely separate and are less frequent. Probably safe to say that the monthly cycle will include Cayenne and Macan (maybe some Taycans), but it may not always include sports cars...Perhaps in other cycles (or 'part two' cycles in a month), they focus less on the SUVs/Taycan and more on sports cars.

If you call around to enough dealers and ask when they received their last allocations, then ask when they expect their next round, you may be able to gather more context. Some of my SA's say that they receive allocations in a meeting with their regional manager...then they just sorta pop-up as allocation "buckets" in their system assigned to a month. Typically, the allocation is at V200 at that point, or at least it soon becomes V200 after a configuration is attached to the bucket, and we have info re build date, eta, etc.
