FourT6and2: That's based on the current information set... We have no idea on what Porsche may or may not have up their sleeve. Also, I've found deposits to have indirect benefits. Discovered two cars (customer abandoned builds) through deposits and a good repertoire with dealers.

I've helped at least three people get GT3s. One at MSRP, and two for small markups. I have a late build at a markup. There is a chance that A) I get to help more people get a GT3 or B) get a build at MSRP. This is why I keep the deposits in play... Make sense? And I do not believe deposits have anything to do with creating "artificial demand."

I get the whole altruistic thing, if you have the time. It’s great helping others. But imagine several people putting multiple deposits across 5 similar dealerships. Now it looks like all 5 dealers have the first 4 people in the list ready to buy their cars. Meanwhile the 5-10 others may not get a car. But these first 4 customers on the list with 5 deposits across 5 different dealers make it look as if they represent 20 individual customer when its really only 4 customers. That’s artificial demand.

You'd have to have been on a waiting list and put a small deposit down. Mine is coming in October and I've been on the list for about 2 years and barely got one. It'll be at good 'ol MSRP

Before my 2018 Cayman had no interest in Porsches or cars in general. So did not have the foresight to place my name on any list.

There are dozen of stories in this thread and the other one, of people who put down deposits years ahead only to be told to go **** themselves.

I put down $ 5K, then $ 5K again at lock-in this month, starting from last September for a MSRP car. I was regular customer for 11 years, serviced 3 P-Cars and bought a CPO Cayenne GTS.

Looks like they're offering 10% off to move the small one...
