that's crazy. in california it's against the law for a dealer to keep a deposit on a car.

In regards to the black Porsche up above delivered to Colorado, don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me with the small phone but it looks like there is a lot of wheel arch gap. I assume ride height is adjustable?
The extra wheel arch gap are probably due to shipping blocks are not yet removed.

Can you find a reference? I’d be really surprised if that is true for a factory ordered car.

That's probably just a sticker to peel off before delivery. The blue looks a little different than the gentian

I am amazed that people are getting cars now. I placed a deposit last summer as soon as I could and my car wasn't due to arrive until May 29 (now June 19). And this is with a fairly high volume dealer outside Boston.

It is unlawful for any dealer licensed under this article to do any of the following when brokering a retail sale:

(a) Fail to execute a written brokering agreement, as described in Section 11738 , and provide a completed copy to both of the following:

(1) Any consumer entering into the brokering agreement.  The completed copy shall be provided prior to the consumer's signing of an agreement for the purchase of the vehicle described in the brokering agreement or, prior to accepting one hundred dollars ($100) or more from that consumer, whichever occurs first.

(2) The selling dealer.  The completed copy shall be provided prior to the selling dealer's entering into a purchase agreement with the consumer.

(b) Accept a purchase deposit from any consumer that exceeds 2.5 percent of the selling price of the vehicle described in the brokering agreement.

(c) Fail to refund any purchase money, including purchase deposits, upon demand by a consumer at any time prior to the consumer's signing of a vehicle purchase agreement with a selling dealer and taking delivery of the vehicle described in the brokering agreement.

https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/vehicle...ect-11736.html

I've ordered multiple cars and dealers confirm this every time. it's why the deposits here for an ordered car are typically between $5,000-$10,000. it weeds out a lot of people and you're probably serious barring any extreme circumstances if you're willing to tie up $10,000 for 4 months. but no, they absolutely cannot keep your money if you don't take possession of the car.

Sorry to say that a deposit and an allocation are two different things, a May delivery as it relates to a build slot, is not very early in the scheme. Mine was also to be a May delivery and I know that I didn't get the first available spot at my dealer.

Just the was it is...
