Ahh, that makes more sense.

I was able to get 7% off a ‘19 order but I added a lot of options. I ordered in September, order locked in Oct. November build and mid-December delivery.

I really don’t know since I have never asked, but I know it’s at least 11% since I am sure he is not pricing to lose money....nor would I allow him to do that. I am sure there are others on this site that either own a dealership or are in a position to truly know. Either way 1% makes very little difference in my opinion.

I called every dealer within 200 miles of San Francisco just before Christmas and found only two who were able to confirm a 991.2 GTS allocation. I picked up one of these with a 2% discount and April delivery date. Could I have held out for a better discount? Maybe. Am I happy to have a car in the pipeline? Absolutely.

Discount is going to be contingent on how you spec. If you add a lot in options, the dealer will give you a higher % off. Production will likely also be contingent on demand. I take allocation #s with a grain of salt. If a dealer has customer orders, Porsche will likely release an allocation to fill the order so long as the dealer’s sales have been solid.

I found this also to be true when I was looking. Some dealers were looking for allocations. One dealer confidently said if you want the 4GTS I will get it for you. And did. The relationship of the dealership with Porsche is key and they all don’t have the same relationship. But many dealers will tell you they are a great dealer but then cannot get you an allocation.

The fact that you are happy and are getting the car you want is key. Congratulations!
