Big shout out to Chevy
I guess I had better explain.
About a month ago I was ready to order a '22 mid-engine Corvette. I found out it was going to be about an 18 month wait. No way am I going to wait that long for a car.
I headed to my local Porsche dealer. Found out it would be about 6 to months. Ok, that's better than 18 months. As I'm ordering a new 992 Turbo with the salesman, my wife sees a 2019 991.2 Turbo on the floor. She falls in love with it. The salesman says it is being held for a customer that is supposed to be getting financed for it. It's already been a week and he's still MIA. The sales goes to the GM to ask what's the status on it. The GM calls the customer to ask about his paperwork that they're still holding on. The customer gives the GM a rough time and the GM explained that he only inquired because he had someone interested in it. The customer countered with, "if you have someone, which I doubt, give it to him!"
Wrote a check and my wife and I drive home with a new to me 2019 991.2 Turbo. So, ... Thank you, Chevy!
BTW: this car is awesome and I'm having way too much fun learning all about it.

Whoever couldn't get their paperwork together just went back to square one. Either that or the dealer is playing one heck of a next level game on their end.
Congrats on the car, photos would be nice :-)

This is why I don't think the dealer was playing games. And I would never have done anything underhanded either.

Good story. And you married well.
However, you just bought your wife a 991 Turbo.
It’s all good, ‘cause since it’s hers, you can order a 992.
And, yes, that’s how it works.
