Nope, I have a good relationship with my dealer though. Put a deposit down as soon as I heard the 911R rumors.

Congratulations!

I know the first human impulse is to feel jealous,but I do not feel one bit of jealousy. I'm very happy for you! Well done!

Seems that allocations will be happening quickly. Surprisingly, this is a 2016 model. Fingers crossed...

Better deal? Seems like a stretch based on MSRP... however not so much when you consider what the secondary market price is going to be on this car from launch and forever going forward.

Nice build! Congratulations. I put down a deposit as well, but I absolutely don't expect to have the golden ticket. 918 guys apparently get first crack, and I will be as happy for a 991.2 GT3 allocation. If I do get lucky, though...

Interesting to see the premium Porsche places on the limited build.

Anticipate and enjoy in good health, greens.

Nick, I hope you get one. Interested to see if you would keep the GT4 as well.

Hi Alan, V70 status means dealer is hoping to get an allocation. There could be 4 other guys at this dealership with demand order. I wouldn't rest until I have an allocation. I was in the V70 limbo for like 7 months before they finally gave me an allocation. Cheers.

Just got the call and placed a deposit. Third on the list. The real question is whether or not I got it at MSRP. Its useless if its market price.

Edit:

Order cancelled. Dealer wants to me to pay market price when it comes out.
