Looks like you're a broker and not a Porsche dealer, correct? Is your offer for allocations at MSRP or with ADM (either by your or dealer)?

I am a broker. I would hope I'd be able to find one at MSRP but can't promise that at the moment. My broker fee on a 718 GTS allocation is 2.5k.

Can be anywhere since I would do PC delivery.

Here’s my build code in case anyone has feedback.

Stealthpilot’s Build Code
1. Change title to BGTS from GTS
2. Fix the warts on the front of the car by adding headlight cleaning covers in exterior color
3. Drop the NAV - you don't need it with CarPlay - the only reason to get it is if you want the track timer (I forget the exact thing, but it is an add on that requires NAV)
4. Add smoking package
5. There was a person on here recently whose dealer had a 2nd allocation available - I just can't find them!
6. Supplemental safety bars in exterior color! (I knew I was forgetting one!)

I'd also add that the track precision timer is also tied to Sport Chrono which we also get standard now and if you want to activate it, its something that can be coded in so even less incentive to spec Navigation. At this point in the game its a waste of money.

It does seem like that there have been more BGTS allocations recently than CGTS allocations. Unsure why but i took a BGTS allocation as it popped up first but i dont think my dealership has even gotten in a CGTS allocation yet even though they expected to get one in Q2.

That clarity helps OP to know that ultimate price will be at least MSRP + $2500. So, not quite an allocation at MSRP when all factored in

Colorado springs had a MSRP allocation in February. Worth asking them again

Thanks. I thought the car came without headlight washers as standard. Your saying they have them in black as standard and you need to pay to have them body colored?

Satin black is standard on the GTS but a handful have seen them delivered in chrome/silver which is likely a factory mistake. Configurator shows both ways - the LED headlights show them in black, the renders are silver and the configurator has been wrong before here.

Satin black isn't a wart it matches the rest of the black trim, silver is horrible though depending on body color/etc!

It's for this reason alone that i chose to get mine painted in the car exterior color. Dont want to risk getting the car and then having to deal with 2 silver warts on the front bumper.

I didn't realize there were some that still had chrome. I was under the impression that all GTS were coming with black washers without exception. Now I'm nervous to see what's on my car. I guess I'll find out next month!

Yeah i thought the same as well since a lot of people were saying they were just black for the GTS. But then i visited my local dealership when i got my allocation and they had a grey GTS in their showroom. It had silver washers. So at that point i just specced the exterior color painted washers.

Configurator not clear on washing system nubs...but difference between chrome/black could also be a difference in the 2 light options.

Tx Shaggy made a good point about the two different light options. Do you remember what lights were on the car at your dealership?

Best,
PB
