The dealer's only obligation to you is to refund your deposit. There's always fine print in any contract, implied or stated, but you know that. FYI the dealer buys the car from PCNA who has to get it from PAG. Your contract is with the dealer not Porsche. Good luck w/ the litigation.

^ Yep - spend your time trying to find another allocation or short list. Or just hang tight and work with Inside Car Connection in a few weeks.

Some dealers are shopping allocations at the moment - more will become available as the market calms down and the second set of allocations come through.

Have you heard any word on when round two of allocations start ? My dealer thinks it will be 6 weeks away...

I'm sure the judge will move the case of someone not getting his GT3RS to the front of the line....,

I would call the GM remind him of the commitment. If he brushes you off then I would try to find an allocation elsewhere. Perhaps there will be another batch. If not it's just a car.

That's what I am planning to do on Monday. Thank you for making a meaningful suggestion instead of a silly jab.

Only a letter with a signature of the GM or GSM would matter. An apology would be necessary though.

Dealer told me they would be lucky to get anymore before the end of the year. Not sure what to believe at this point.

I'm sure you are frustrated. It is just a car, but if you indeed have a signed letter then I would talk to the GM. As SamfromTX said, the legal action is not worth it in the long run. I would look for another allocation as well. Get on the list of a few dealers. This won't be a limited car and I believe you will get one especially next year when more allocations will be given.

Personally, I'd call the GM on Monday, make sure your conversation is pleasant in tone. Say nothing of litigation until he begins to tell you the things that you're expecting but don't want to hear. Which will basically be that he's effing you because he see's higher dollar signs or trying to give the slot to someone who he thinks will be a regular in their service department. If the conversation starts heading that direction, then remind him that you have a WRITTEN statement of the letter that you're happy to provide him a copy with. Also bring in the threat of speaking with someone at PCNA (preferably do your due diligence and use a name of a person over at PCNA who may actually have something to do with dealer allocations, because if you have an actual name rather than just threatening to go to PCNA, then it gives the impression that A. you already have a relationship with them and B. that you're dead serious and this isn't your first rodeo). When/if you do end up having to send a copy of the written letter to the GM, then make sure in the email, to cc your attorney (so the GM see's that you mean business) as well as someone over at PCNA. Dealers while quite idiotic and short sighted, also are not stupid and don't want to flirt with losing future allocations. Also, include a pic of your CGT just to show them, that you're exactly the clientele that they want to keep happy. Even though you might not have a 918, you may be interested in purchasing their next halo car, so leaving a bad taste in your mouth is counter intuitive. That being said, threaten them all you like, but when it comes down to it, it should be fairly easy for you to get an allocation elsewhere, but it might not be at MSRP and it may be for a later build than you'd like.

I know through cases i'v heard about at my Dealer, that once any threat is made the conversation ends. For me, any threat would be a LAST resort. Good luck.

I agree. Threats are really pointless.
