Yup Park Place is most of the times always top 10 are sometimes top 5. As I said they change month to month and quarter to quarter.


Auto Gallery was also top 5 at some point.


Champion and Beverly Hills is just beyond reach always #1 and #2, others move around quite a bit.


A typical small dealer in Midwest or more suburban area sells 10-20 cars per month. Larger dealers around the coast in big cities, like McKenna, Rusnak, Carlsen sells like 30-50 cars per month.


High volume dealers like Newport, South Bay, Park Place, Scottsdale sells like 50-80 cars per month.


Beverly Hills sells 110-150 cars per month and Champion sells around 170-180 cars per month.

Ahhh, no wonder why they got 31 allocations. Unfortunately, the only good guy dealer in the ones that you've named off is Park Place. The other ones are stealers to a smaller or bigger extent. I hope that I've been able to bring down the sales of the king stealer aka Auto Gallery.

Hey next time any of you guys get a call from a stealer offering to sell you a GT3 at $50k over, tell them Champion has 31 one that they are offering to sell at $25k over.

Yea 8X the sales get approximately 8X the allocation, but as I mentioned its compartmentalized by models. So although if your total sales is 5X, you should get 5X total allocation across all models, but each model hold its on allocation %. More Cayenne you sell, more cayenne you get. Less 718 you sell, less 718 you get.


Yea Auto Gallery sales is not what it once was.

More buyers are purchasing high ends cars from all over the country now and shopping around. No longer need to be held hostage to your local dealer. Shipping cars is cheap and the web makes it easy to shop nationally for new and pre-owned. Many options these days!!

That's one nice difference between Porsche and Ferrari which holds you hostage to your local dealer.

First question with Champion: 31 allocations for what time period?

In regards to the stealerships, there are always VIP customers who have spent a lot of money and get the red carpet treatment and MSRP prices. Hard to use them as a guide. In LA, Beverly Hills, Rusnak, Auto Gallery and Newport are notorious for not giving a sh... I remember when shopping around the 991.1 GTS (not GT3), Rusnak wanted 5k over haha. Nuts.

Very true. Though many dealers will sell to locals only...at least right now in the hot GT market.

Allocation is only out for July 2017 to December 2017 for production dates. Whether they are truthful about it or if it includes VIP allocations that is another story.


Yea PCNA actually keeps track of how many cars dealers sell to locally vs non locally. Dealers are incentivize to sell directly in their target geographic market. Also, they hope to make money off the service department as well as having them return to buy regular Porsches.
