Allocation question .... ?

Drifting
I spoke with the sales manager that I've been dealing with for some years about the allocation. He said that he would have secured the dates by months end. I'll be patient.
Regarding discounts. This is always something that seems fluid depending on the dealership / sales points at the time of the purchase/lease. Meaning ... I receive a $7500 discount, clear bra / clear sm's, hardwire V1 at NC from one dealer for my '07 C4S that we built, and another offered me floor mats.
Not really sure, but when I got my '09 Turbo cab, I think I got ~$6K off with clear bra / clear sm' / V1 yada, yada at NC. And, when trading that in, I had some $9000 in 'equity' toward my present '15 Turbo coupe.
I never think I'm really getting a "deal". I think there's quite a profit in these higher end vehicles. In '07, the GM of the Ohio dealership said there was $15,000 in profit. He gave me $7500 and he took $7500. I don't know if I believe that or not. Present deals on Chevy Siverados are giving up to $15,000 (20%) off sticker. I'd think 911s have more profit than a Siverado. But, I have no idea.
Regarding the T4 GTS ... Yes, I'll ask for some discount and freebies, see if there is any equity in my present car, but realistically, I'm not holding my breath.

I guess that could be later this month. ??
Heck, 5% could be like $7800ish. I'd take that !

If you're making a straight cash, no trade, no lease, no finance deal, then 5% off is a pretty easy to call. It's what I would characterize as an average, no sweat deal.
But, the minute you start throwing in a trade, a lease, a finance, then the judgement on whether you got a good deal is a bit trickier to call. And, in general, these situations result in a gain for the dealer and a loser for the buyer. You have to know all the details of the deal to make a judgement on it because the dealer has lots of paths to your wallet.
