PNA and my dealership had no problem screwing me on my custom build that was there then not there all of a sudden. Talk about following through with your commitments. Please. This is too big of a purchase to go down a road you don't want. You are in escrow. Pull out if you want.

Well if you want to go down that analogy then is the deposit forfeit?( in your case as described seems like the dealership was at fault and i'm assuming you got your money back ?) There are all sorts of legitimate reasons for backing out of a deal but change of heart probably ain't one of them-- just my zwei deutschmark

Guys, I think in this case we are long away from the order freeze date. So the OP's build is going to be modified for someone else. The dealer will not suffer. In fact, the dealer may move 2 cars (the GTS and the new one) instead of one...

Yes. The deposit was returned and I do see both sides of the argument. A commitment was made to the dealer and should be honored. On the other hand a new home just went on the market that may fit the buyer better with a lower cost. Does he not consider this new home just because he is in escrow on another? Too big of a purchase to do something in favor of the big dealer. IMO.

Thank you LCW. You are 100% correct.

Why go for the "obsolete" naturally aspirated GTS? That's so last month. Used cars?? For the birds on that "hot for sale" thread.
Go fuel efficient turbo and the Apple CarPlay thingy! The music will be a distraction from the new engine/exhaust soundtrack. The new rear grill is cooler too. Plus that front axel lift is a must for suburban speed bumps.
This is great.

No. It's November already. That car will be built in a few weeks. Shipped in December for the scheduled January delivery. That order is locked & loaded.

It isn't locked and loaded. Spec remains changeable until ten days before build. This is what the dealer has told me - and he's not asked me for my non-refundable deposit yet, which happens at the point where the order is locked down. So nothing is set in stone as yet, and the dealer will have no difficulties shifting this build slot if necessary. I just need to decide if I want to go that way. I expected everyone in this forum to advise me to plump for the GTS, but the response has been more nuanced. Will make my final decision today. Thanks for the advice guys!

The 991.2 is not yet built so they can still change config for the next buyer.
"obsolete" GTS - 3.8 NA - $$
New 991.2 - 3.0 Turbo - $$$
My choice is GTS for obvious reason. I prefer an NA than a Turbo.

What's the 'list' price of a used car anyway? That can be manipulated up and down to tell you that you're getting a huge discount. There's no set pricing on used car that you can reliably saying I'm getting x% off of what we all know the normal price to be.

You can sometimes find out how much the dealer paid for a used car. In my case, the finance person showed me exactly how much the dealer paid to buy the car at lease return. He showed me the paperwork as I suspect it was a fair deal for both the dealer and me.
