If this is true, and a real new policy that PCNA has set and intends to enforce, then this is a very good thing for those of us in major metro areas. It's also probably a bad thing for those that live in smaller metro markets or very rural areas.

I have 6 or 7 Porsche dealerships within an hour drive of my home. And most of them are considered high-volume dealers, which get more GT car allocations because of that status. But some smaller cities may have only one (or none) lower-volume Porsche dealer...

I have my car but if I didn't the only plan B right now for me would be the Lotus or wait. When the used market was not crazy (right before I got my allocation) my backup plans involved used stuff but there is no way I'd consider something used myself right now, even on a Porsche GT car which may retain a lot of it's value.

My wife's 5 year old lexus, we just got 17% above what we paid for it new 5 years ago (gas prices are making hybrids stupid money and the wait on new ones are out over a year on some). I'm going to replace that with a temporary car (probably a e87 116i or 118i bmw as I can get one of those for under 5g with <50000km or a 2nd gen DCT audi TT for 6-7g which are teh only 2 cars that are good bang for buck for what I can find). I'm potentially going to liquidate my DD too while it's worth good money and drive my truck as long as I can handle driving a truck as a DD. I figure the used market should cool in a year or 2 so that will open up options again and if done right our cost of owning cars since 2015 and 2017 will effectively work out to being almost completely free for depreciation.

I have already noticed the used market overseas on old sports cars has cooled somewhat for sold prices and are actually down a decent amount from peak (although teh creme-de-la-creme condition ones are still going up). Newer used sports cars still seem to be going up and up though :/

Has anyone been distributed any new round of allocations for July yet for the USA?

My dealer claims the next Spyder allocation is mine.

He also mentioned that Porsche is prioritizing third and fourth quarter sports car production for the USA... where first and second was almost non-existent.

🤞🏼

But don't you already have a Spyder?

He's greedy, he wants another one. haha

Any leads on open GT4/Spyder allocations which aren’t asking for a ridiculous 30-40K?

Local dealer for me is Boise, ID

Here is the word... I have been in line for 8 months with depots on both allocations.

GTS : 1 year - 1.5 years until allocation received / build submittal.

GT4: 1.5 years - 2 years until allocation received / build submittal (if at all).

This timeline presses into electric Cayman timeframe.

Dealer stated if deposit for allocation is not filled, deposit will roll over to electric Cayman.

I am on the list with a North Carolina based local dealer for a GTS and was given 1-1.5yrs for an allocation as well.

Ken in San Diego

I think that is still the norm. Don’t ask me how, but I got one the other day for $15k ADM. It was blind luck after calling all 30 dealers in California

Where are they getting these timeframes from?

bravoraider

I am assuming Narnia.

Great job, its often underestimated what a bunch of calls to a GM can do!

Didn't Porsche say they would be building their "emotional" cars in tandem with the EVs for the next 3-4 years? My understanding is that they'll still be making GTS 4.0s and Spyders even after the standard 718 is phased out and EVs are being delivered.

bravoraider

Glad to hear its consistent.

Boise dealer sounded pretty sure a GTS allocation is going to happen.

GT4 seems to be a %60 yes, %40 no (my numbers, not dealers)

bravoraider

This surpasses my knowledge. I am just repeating my latest conversations with the dealer out here.

It was stated if I held out for a GT4 allocation and it was not filled, the allocation would roll into the electric Cayman.
