Where to find a Boxster GTS 4.0 allocation?
Hey guys, my local dealer here literally confirmed their last allocation to someone 1 hour before I called! Such a bummer.
I've called dealers in a few states, no luck.
Does anyone know where I can find one or try my luck? DM's welcome

Hey Chewy Bongo
Think everyone will tell you the same thing. Because allocations are so hard to get, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Call every dealer in a (whatever you're comfortable with) radius and tell them what you want. Some folks go hundreds and hundreds of mine to secure one. Put down a (fully refundable) deposit as necessary to show them that you're serious. Call dealers in other states. You'd have to arrange for delivery, but (from what others are saying) a small price to pay for a guaranteed allocation. Many folks recommend going through a broker (don't know how as I haven't paid a lot of attention as I was lucky enough to get an allocation). You'll have to pay a small amount ($1k seems to be most often quoted but they do the work for you.) Lastly, and this seems to be a change and you'd have to be comfortable with it, used to be that everyone was dead set against ADM. In this environment, some folks seem to have changed their mind for the psychological security of a "guarantee" and say that $5k ADM is worth an allocation. That would have to be your call, but I'm sure there will be many posts here recommending lots of great ideas. Good luck!!

Also have a read through the forum. This has been an issue for a while and there have been lots and lots of posts about it, including some successes.
