I think I've read and watched every 991 GT3 review out there and just love the car. This weekend I stopped by my local P dealer and saw two sitting on the showroom floor waiting on their new engines. I just started doing laps around the cars and now want one.

I've owned about 7 Porsche's but never a GT3. I've never been in one either.
The car would be a weekend driver for me and maybe one driving event a year. It seems the 991 from what I've read can be driven as a DD and is something I would enjoy driving around LA.

I was surprised to learn the dealership had an open allocation and could in fact get me a build date around Sept or Oct. I thought I would have to wait at least 10 months. He also said PFS has rates 2.9% to even 1.9% using another bank. I don't have to finance it but certainly makes the decision a little easier with such low interest rates.

Does this sound about right? I've read many of your posts and it seems there are a lot of you folks still waiting on your cars.

You found a dealer with an open allocation at MSRP in SoCal? That seems odd. Has Porsche even given out 2015 allocations?

He said yes. I was surprised too.

Yes they have. I ordered mine last month with a September build 2015.

Wow, maybe I should be asking around more. I'm 7th on my dealer's list, and that's the shortest list I could find in the SF Bay Area.

Perhaps these two 2015 allocations were from buyers that had 2014 build orders at the time of the Stop Sale and subsequently decided to drop out. Those build orders would have become 2015s. The dealers should have moved the other waiting buyers up one slot on the list, but they may have kept quiet and then given the active build slot to a walk-in buyer. As I recall, the build order that hadn't made it into production had to be re-entered by the dealers as 2015s.

Try smaller markets and hit the phones hard. Bay Area is tough.

Hey, I am genuinely happy for you early 2015s. I just can't believe that your cars will be built in September at the same time that my 2014 will finally gets its engine swap at the factory. The latest according to Ian and dealer is
September 12 for my 2014 GT3.

PAG couldn't possibly be moving slower on these swaps. Wait, forget I said that- they could find a way!

alpine-al - You hit it on the nose. Those are reclassified 2014s to 2015s that probably some people are dropping out and can still be spec'd out
