C4 911s are great cars! Here's the 17 coupe I had...miss the color!

I don't know how much of it is desirability versus Porsche just isn't so interested in selling the C4 (and C4 variants). Try to find marketing, online reviews, etc., of the C4 and its siblings. It's tough. And try to find a C4 allocation. PAG just didn't make allocations available to dealers. I find the whole thing quite curious. It's not like nobody wants AWD -- look at C4S sales. Congrats on having a rare car on the way. You'll likely never see another in the wild.

Yes, great color. I had a '16 DBM Boxster GTS for a year or so.
I liked both of my 981 Boxsters but my wife prefers the large cabin size of the 911. Sooo.

Thanks. I traded my PTS/LTS '17 Targa for it. Viper Green was a little flashier than I convinced myself when I ordered it; a bit more attention getting than I bargained for.

Loved seeing the pictures of your Viper green. I understand that even beautiful colors don't always fit. /startlongwindingstory In 1999 I was driving an ocean blue Carrera cab and a bowling green (green almost black) corvette. Chevrolet released millennium yellow for 2000 and I had to have it first. Traded the Bowling green (which I still love that color) in on the millennium yellow and I was literally embarrassed to drive it. I was a fan of the car, but didn't consider it a "look at me car." I kept it for 6 months and drove less than 100 miles. Traded it in on my first Speed Yellow 996. I loved the Carrera in yellow, drove it daily, and replaced it with another speed yellow the next year. /end.

Congrats, thats exciting

I didn't get to spec my '17 .2 C4 coupe (nor did I realize how rare they are) but I love the car. I wanted the base 3.0 engine, didn't care for the extra HP or upgraded brakes, but got the wide body, lightbar, and AWD

You got rid of it!!?? Spill the color

I felt the same. I wanted to like racing yellow but I ended up with guards red this year. I have never owned a red Porsche and haven't had a red car in decades. I am really happy with the decision.

I really do not think that Porsche dealers support the previous buyer's who have bought many new Porsche 911 Carrera's.

I buy every 5 years and always service them at the Porsche dealer (very profitable to the dealer). Yet, they never offer me an allocation to a GT3. Go figure.

CamsPorsche

There's tons of people like you at every dealer and because demand for the GT3 is so high, they just won't offer you one. It's all about friendship with the sales person or dealer.

If you're looking now it's way too late. Enjoy the T...if it helps I sold my 991.2 GT3 and now have my T. Way better daily.

This is true. And I find it to be a lot more fun on the road.

VintageRacer

I am not sure about tons of people since all models of the Porsche 911 are sold in small numbers. But I understand that Porsche has always made one less car than they can sell.

In my area, a used GT3 is readily obtainable (they had two when I asked about a new GT3 Touring). Yea, I'll just keep my 5-year old car for now (the worst depreciation is done). No problem.

Not enough profit margin on a C4.
All 911s built on one assembly line. Including GT cars. Assembly line is limited capacity. GT cars get ADM for the dealer. Which means, profit wise, if they sell one GT car it's equivalent to selling, maybe, 4 C4's. So put those GT cars out there!! As long as they sell.
