In my experience, some dealers do not like supporting ED on GT cars. Others support it. No response may be as much due to allocation issues if you're asking for ED on a 3/RS.

My experience is that most dealers actively dissuade customers now from ED. The dealer is charged around $3k (although it's offset by an extra car allocation), needs to execute more paperwork and is now liable should anything with the ED-side of the sale go bad.
Negative sum financial gain from a dealer's POV.

GT4 pick-up on 2 June. Spending the whole month in Europe. Mainly at the 'Ring. Then back to the 'Ring again for the first week of August. Check my thread in the European Delivery section. I'd be delighted to meet some fellow Rennlisters.

Good group, I'm sure there are more out there. CJ, let us know when you get a date for your R. I will likely be there July 6 to the 15th or so. Trying to get Spa and Nurburgring at a minimum, then some other mountain driving in the Alps. Verbier could be good, have driven some roads close to there and they are spectacular.
I'll post some options this weekend/next week.

The nice thing about the alps is Verbier is at 1500m or 4500 ft. Denver for example is about 5,500ft. You don't get the high altitude passes like you do on I-70 in CO although routes with "col" many close for the season. The chance for a winter storm is always real, but is fairly low. Even during winter months snow doesn't stay long on the roads.

Off the cuff it is 60 days before VAT is due.
Update:
It is 6 months for Porsche and clicking through it looks like it is different for every manufacture, which makes no sense to me..Found this link - I think it is current.

EDIT: ...and to be clear, asking about getting on the list for an ED 991.2 -- I know that .1 allocations are over.
It would be nice to know which dealers support it so I don't have to brute-force email dealers until I find one, but I also understand that in this market, people are reticent to kill their own golden goose by creating demand at their own dealer.

Not an RS -- just a "regular" GT3. I would understand even a quick "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" email, but I literally get no response as soon as I mention ED. (Insert "that's what she said" joke here.)

Ryan Kinsley- Brian Harris Porsche (grandson to dealer principle)- 1-225-754-1500
John @- Porsche North Houston here on RL- "JWrightPNH "
I've mentioned to both about my travel agency (mom's biz) handling the details of a customers ED as a N/C option to the dealer or customer. Both thought it was a good idea as a more complete option than what PCNA offers.
Tell them your friend Nick in Mandeville sent you as I'd like to stay in their good graces of future allocations.
Cheers,
Nick B.

Both dealers near me have some good guys & fairly close to you in Austin.
Ryan Kinsley- Brian Harris Porsche (grandson to dealer principle)- 1-225-754-1500
-My old store- couldn't say enough good things about Mr. Harris and his family. Ryan got me a '16 GT3 and was super with the bs I put him through on my deal (2 in & outs).
Danny Haro- MGR- Porsche New Orleans (504) 832-2112
inquired on a GT3 RS they had parked up front and he was a nice guy. A no over sticker guy.

I also did read the thread in the ED forum about your mom's travel planning skills. If this comes together, I'll certainly be heading your way.
