My sales advisor at Porsche North Houston just informed me they received a Porsche Bonus car *NEW* 2023 Shark Blue Boxster GTS. The car is on the ground now and ready for purchase. Contact Efan Hsu - ehsu@porschenorthhouston.com
Terms: MSRP + $5,000 Porsche Watch + Tint, PPF, and PSMP+1 (service plan) (~10k in add-ons) - No regional restrictions.
Friend called a bunch of West Coast Dealers(he’s in LA) last week and not a single one with a real allocation on a Spyder was willing to go below 20k. He ended up going with a dealer in LA for 18k. There aren’t many real Spyder allocations available.
Congrats on your MSRP allocation! I'm going to be attempting to negotiate down my ADM a bit when the car gets here in about a week. Hoping to knock off anything that I can.
Never a Porsche owner, no relationship with my dealer, and I received my GT4 allocation @ MSRP within 1 week after siting down with my SA - ETA on my 23' GT4 72 days. This dealer gave me a choice between an immediate build, or one in April (this date if I wanted PTS)... so, they were sitting on 2 (now minus 1), and I'm going to assume there is a high likelihood they still have the 2nd available (local only).
Like many others, I called around the country searching for an allocation, with all declining to add me to their list bc they're only dealing with in-state customers. Only one other local dealership got back to me with a May build allocation @ 40K ADM - which was laughable.
Exercise your patience, get onto as many lists as possible, and it sure wouldn't hurt to go to the dealership to put a face to the name. Best of luck!
That is awesome! I would definitely consider this to be the exception and not the rule.
Why would PDK be a non starter for most? I've found there is a strong PDK contingent out there. It truly is a personal preference. Seems people make these arbitrary statements about why a car hasn't sold, or why it's still for sale, or why it didn't sell for as much as it could have (BaT), etc. It's very possible nothing is "wrong with the car".
Beware the PDK and seat vitriol in this group. It’s gotten to the point that it’s almost comical.

I think it is a reflection of pricing just coming down, plus 6600 miles. I'm fine with PDK, but it seems pretty apparent that used PDK cars are generally cheaper than manuals.
It almost has 0 options other than navigation, PDK and color. Plastic dash, base seats, base stereo. That’s pretty much $15k premium over MSRP still.
Agreed, nothing wrong with it but it is a low spec car. Compared to virtually any other Spyder out there, this one would likely be chosen last, due to spec and miles.
I would tend to agree that a PDK Spyder would be less desirable on average, just due to the nature of what a Spyder is and the types of enthusiast it attracts... but a non-starter? No way.
