991.2 allocations in SoCal?
Looking to order a base 991.2, with minimal equipment. Have found limited allocations in SoCal, and poor discount. Would appreciate a referral to a dealer in SoCal that still has build allocation and that would significantly discount? Seems as if the end of production would be a good time for a discount because most would want the next generation. I, however, am more comfortable buying at the end production, but only if a discount would be attainable to offset the presumable greater rate of depreciation . Suppose I should be willing to order from a more distant dealer.

If you're looking for something in the near term for Summer, I would definitely expand your search to some other major markets (Chicago, Miami, NY.) You'd be surprised to see the inventory - and you'll likely get a more substantial discount. From there you can have it shipped out to you for $1500-2000 or drive it back. |
Thanks for the quick reply, seanhaus. Helpful.

McKenna Porsche is also another high volume dealer in SoCA, they treated me well. I also went to circle in Long Beach, nice people but I never heard back from them once I asked for a better deal, guess they thought I was not serious, lol. YMMV. |
It's really a matter of supply and demand. Porsche is shrinking the supply while the demand remains the same. I believe most allocations are now for fall builds. Also keep in mind that the dealers make a higher profit on options. As a result you're more likely to get a good discount on a highly optioned car than a "stripper". If you can find an acceptable car in a dealers inventory you can generally negotiate a better discount. Happy hunting!!

yooj, if you're looking for lightly optioned model then I think you're a good candidate for a low mileage used one. Skip the early depreciation and find something that fits your fancy sooner rather than later.

Bev Hills is the highest volume in the country...they typically do a good job at earning your business financially speaking

very few allocations for 991.2 at this stage of the production cycle with the 992 right around the corner
|
Thanks all for the advice and information. |

What kind of build are you looking for?

Just to point out the obvious, you have highlighted the fact that allocations are very scarce (my dealer was just complaining to me about that on Saturday) so supply is very limited. On the other hand, you will only buy if you can achieve a significant discount. Those two ideas are in direct conflict with each other. What incentive does a dealer have to significantly discount a car for you that they have a precious few slots for? I think you have to be more realistic.

^^^ I think OP is first timer to the Porsche world and assumes Porsche does what other manufacturers of mass produced cars do. What Porsche does at the end of a production cycle? It creates that special model called Platinum (at least on the SUV side). On the 991 side, there is the T-model. In this way, all the remaining parts inventory are fully used
