I was offered one for 45k over. Only problem is I don’t want white and it’s already locked. Coming in August I believe with 185k Sticker.
Let me know and can pass on the info.
(thought I replied earlier but not seeing it)
Thanks, but even that is more than it's worth to me. For a changeable build I'd want to stay under $35k ADM. I realize there are apparently plenty of people willing to pay more, but once I get above that 230k mark it opens up to a lot of other nice vehicle options. I'll be taking delivery of my BGTS in a few weeks here and I'm sure I'll have a lot to enjoy with it. Having driven the BGTS at the PEC ATL for a 90 minute session, it's by no means a disappointment. Though I'm likely too far down my local dealers list, I'm just going to enjoy the BGTS and if my dealer calls to say I get an allocation, or a dealer having a <35k ADM pops up, then it'll be a pleasant surprise.
My SRS is supposed to lock tomorrow. PTS November build with ?February delivery. I am in Canada so technically "no admin" but required to option ~$42k which is taken care of by PTS/Weissach and PCCB. I spec'd the leather steering wheel and my SA says he was advised by Porsche Canada that the deviated stitching will be included with the leather wheel but I am concerned that it will come with black stitching. If you check the summary remember that the price is in $Cdn and because I put a deposit on the car in 2021 I am able to avoid paying the luxury tax that came into effect in 2022.

I was just offered one for 32k over if you or someone else wants it for your own allocation. I already have mine incoming so happy to pass along the info. I assume at 32k over it will go quickly.

If you get away without having to pay the Luxury tax well done and 🍻 to you. I wish I had been so fortunate. It cost me an additional $30k. Nice spec!

My SA had an official paper trail for the deposit I placed over the phone which satisfied their finance dept. Nice bonus not to have to give the Feds any extra.
You have to check the box for deviated stitching option. It does not just come with the leather steering wheel option.
Maybe I'm not understanding what your are saying but I have chosen the deviated stitching option with orange stitching and chose the leather steering wheel and gearshift option. I am aware the the info box for deviated stitching includes the steering wheel but from Rennlist searches it does appear that some have reported that the leather steering wheel defaults to black stitching and not deviated. I tried to clarify this with my SA on more than one occasion and he assured me that Porsche Canada advised him that the leather wheel will come with deviated stitching. I'm still leery if this is accurate.

When did you actually get your PTS allocation?
I'm also in Canada and currently next in line for a PTS 4RS allocation, but they haven't received anything (PTS or normal 4RS) in months. No 2025 model years for them so far. I know Spyder RS and 4RS have different allocations, but curious to hear since they're basically the same car etc.
I also placed a deposit in 2021 so I wouldn't have to pay lux tax.

I doubt that Porsche has any control over this, when the car arrives here in Canada the luxury tax is applied, I highly doubt that your deposit date has anything to do with skipping this tax.

I was just offered my allocation about 2 weeks ago. I was offered an allocation earlier but was looking for a PTS slot. My SA indicated things just worked out for this allocation.

My SA is one of the senior guys @the dealership and I don't think he was just pulling this out of his a**. He was able to find the transaction document from the time of my deposit in 2021 and he and the used car sales manager both indicated that this was fortunate and would satisfy their finance dept so that the lux tax would not apply. If he didn't have the documentation then I would be SOL. They offered this information to me - I did not ask about it and assumed I would be paying the lux tax. I assume that the deposit is considered an offer to purchase and that this purchase is grandfathered. This is the finally summary from my SA - Maybe lux tax is not supposed to be included on this summary but when you configure online it does show the added amt as part of the final price. We shall see when it gets here and maybe I will have to pay. I will update if I have more info.

I am not a tax expert either and just going by the info provided to me. I will still be paying the 13% sales tax just hopefully not the luxury tax that was implemented in 2022.
Sure, keep us posted, that information would be true at the time if the transaction was completed then including the delivery of the car, but I still doubt a deposit back then has much to do with the tax collected at the actual time of sale completion.
Oh, and as for the dealer's finance department, it is not them you need to satisfy, it is the federal government tax department!

You should be fine unless they make a mistake in production. If you don't chose the deviated stitching (even if the standard stitching) and choose leather it will default to black stitching. With your deviated selection it should be orange, if it isn't they should remedy the situation after delivery.
