991.2 "undisguised"
#16
Hello. I am new to the forum. I never had a Porsche before, but I am finally coming around to getting one. I would like to place an order for a 991.2. What is the best way to secure one of the early production slots? Being new to Porsche, I don't have a relationship with any particular dealer.
Thank you in advance.

Is it me, or does the rear appear much 'taller' than the current 991?

Thank you in advance.
written authorization for the charges that states that the deposit is refundable
and that the agreed price is MSRP or discount.
You might also want to specify a model Carrera or S ... and if you want to
specify the car yourself or accept one of his builds.

Thank you Larry - I suppose I will not get a commission number until the factory actually takes orders. So until then, I would only have a spot on the dealer's allocation list. How would I make sure I don't move down the dealer's list in favor of a repeat / established customer?
And yes, I would build the car with my exact specs.
Thank you for your help.

In short it is knowing that I have the newest thing. Of course, we still know little about the new car, but I would expect that every new Porsche model gets better than the previous. I would expect it to have better technology and be marginally faster. I suppose the PCM will be better and the steering wheel hopefully will accommodate both paddles and multifunction buttons. I love to drive and I have taken a lot of sports driving course, but I don't think the "turbo lag" that everyone is afraid about will be too noticeable to me as I am not that advanced of a driver. In terms of looks, yes there a couple of things that are odd - such as the vertical grill on the back, but like with anything our eyes and sense of aesthetics evolves with the times and we will love it in the end.
The other main reason is that it works for me in terms of timing. My current lease ends in December so I am hoping the gap of time till I receive the new one to be only a couple of months.
FYI I would be looking for a base Carrera.
thank you and all the best.

The 991.2 will be announced in Sept., and I assume dealers orders will start soon after. Don't worry about it being hard to get one or having to wait for an allocation. They won't be hard to get. Might be a good idea to establish an initial relationship with a dealer now and not start from square one later.
