I got an email from one of my local dealers and they have a Miami Blue and Lava Orange available. The former was apparently an extra allocation they were given (this dealer sells quite a few 911s), and the other was an order that the customer backed out of. The blue will arrive the first week of November, the other in December.
He sent me the build sheets and both are in the $180s, but I don't know if there's any markup, although I presume there is. I have no affiliation with this dealer but if you're interested call Paul Michalczyk at The Porsche Exchange (Highland Park, IL, a northern suburb of Chicago).

Perhaps. I didn't buy my GT4 from this dealer but am working with them to secure a .2 GT3. I emailed him for an update on allocations and two weeks later he responded with the information I provided.
I admit I'm surprised that these two are available considering this dealership sold 10 918s (while the owner bought three himself, in addition to those 10), so one would think they'd be able to find someone quickly from their previous customers.

I saw the LO Sheet 2 weeks ago. It is pretty loaded. I do not think it has LWBs from what I remember
I have a theory: I am guess a lot of the buyers are backing out because
1. After ADM and dealer bloated options, prices are getting too high for these dealer builds. There are other options in the 180+ price range
2. Buyers want to trade in their .1, but realizing the money difference is bigger than they thought and are backing out. .1 market is dipping, and fast. Buyers thought they can sell their cars for 10-15k more, or even in some cases 20k+ more than the market is willing to pay.
A lot of people think I am crazy, but I honestly think we will see .2 available at MSRP sooner than we all think.
Interesting about Houston 11/3 as one of them is mine and is sitting in Emden right now waiting for a lift. I guess it makes sense that this presumably first batch of 10 inbound were built and are shipping at different times.
