He offered me a November delivery allocation as long as I trade my GT4 plus an ADM. ADM is not close to $100K as I told him there would be no way I'd go for that last time we spoke a few months ago.. I'm more practical than ideological, so I'm OK with ADM as a concept, just not as a my own personal practice. However, the GT4RS is an amazing car that is turning into an icon before our eyes and will one day be pretty valuable.. I'd keep the RS for a long time.. So my question to those that have secured allocations, do you think the ADM will evaporate once more cars come on line and are delivered? Or does it just keep getting bigger? Or does it dip for a bit and then go up when the next one (983?) comes online? Or should I not care and do it just because I can? How much ADM is too much? Inquiring minds want to know.
I think the vehicles will demand an ADM for as long as they are produced. The question we all ask ourselves is how long can ADMs stay so high. Even if they have another round of allocations for the GT4RS they will not have nearly enough to fill the orders dealers have placed. I personally think since we have an RS Spyder upcoming if anyone could not get the 4RS I would consider lobbying to your dealer for the RS Spyder.

Was in the Vegas dealership this week checking out their inventory while in town as I always do. They have open allocations yet the fellow I talked to said 100k over…..

Typical timeframe from factory build slot to US dealer delivery? I know there are a ton of variables, just looking for a general idea...

Same question for ED... Would the ED typically occur immediately after build? Or is there usually some delay on that as well?

Earliest ED date is approx 30 days after production completion. This is depending on available slots which again is location dependent.

My car is just under 6 months from allocation to dealer delivery (~May 20 to ~November 4), and it's PTS.

I’d use caution right now regarding expectations on timing especially if your trading a vehicle in and don’t have another comparable vehicle to enjoy while you wait.

My GT3 touring has currently been in “production” for over 4 months, my macan same thing; it was many months behind. The timing of these vehicles right now is very difficult to determine, it’s unlike any other delays Ive encountered over years of ordering pcars.

No trades, no hard expectations, still have a few 911s to play with until the RS gets here that aren't going away anytime soon. Just looking for some general guidelines. My slot isn't until the end of the year, so likely things will change as well (for better or worse...).

That's just another stealer that is no better than SoCal stealers.

And it would seem a number of dealers opted to NOT offer their allocations, but build a dealer spec and are planning to hold some “charity” auction to pump up the offers, or test the markets once these GT4RS cars arrive. I’ve been told it’s looking like September-October for the non-VIPs to hit US shores.

Agreed.
Just more unbridled bs.

I call BS on what they told you. I bet their spec'ed the allocations themselves and will throw them up on the showroom floor with a $100k+ ADM.
