Default Waiting for allocation? Do you just wait?

Hi guys, I placed deposit for gt3. Chance is pretty slim since I am a first time buyer so I am not sure if my p-cherry will be popped.

So, have you guys heard anything from dealers regarding 991.2 gt3?

and those who got allocation for 991.1 gt3, do you just wait for the dealer to give you a call?

Thanks!

No, you call other dealers in the meantime.

Can't tell if you're trolling. To make it crystal clear, answer by sharing your demographics: age, location, race

Best bet is to call your SA every day, even on his day off, to check on your allocation. It'll let him know you're a serious buyer. Doesn't hurt to drop by the dealership every week or two as well and chat him up for an hour or two. Build the relationship.

There are a lot of guys on this board who DO drop by the dealer to shoot the **** and hang out LOL.

I'm being serious.

You'll probably get a call a few weeks after the show. Build your GT3 to your liking, and 3 months later you'll be ripping around. They usually take good care of the list guys. Kinda like Porsche VIP's. You can really count on the dealers with lists. They take care of their buyers.

What dealer??
