Why are dealers hesitant to do European Delivery?

Dealer search
I think maybe some of the dealers are lazy, and don't want to go through the trouble. My dealer charges their customers the $3K price. They are upfront with the charge so no surprises -- take it or leave it. I signed up for ED, but ended up cancelling it because the car was not going to be ready in time during my scheduled trip to Europe. Of course, the dealer did not charge me for the ED option.

Here's a link to the shop that did mine. They're an Xpel shop and accommodated my schedule. It was a decent job but not stellar. They had a few GT level cars and AMG's in there at the time I had my old Carrera T done back in 2018:

I’d recommend tracwrap and doing the full PPF stateside. I’m not sure an installer in the US would fix any issues should they occur if installed in Germany?

Not overnight but they did it within 24hrs. I took delivery, then drove down to the shop, dropped it off and took the train back to Stuttgart then picked it up the next afternoon. Spent that day walking around town and eating good German food.

start with local dealer, make it known what you are trying to accomplish. Most dealers these days will only sell local regardless on new cars. But simply getting a GT allocation as a first time customer without an ADM is almost impossible. Would start hitting up local dealers for 992.2 GT3

the key to all of this: allocation, adm, ed, etc is relationship. you really cannot expect to go get a steel daytona rolex the first day you walk into a store- you want these cars the reason everyone else does. the local stores have their own ways of sorting, we had to tell 20+ people they were not getting cars- the people who got the cars were simply further up the fantasy football points draftboard. if you've never bought a car and they have 10 guys who always buy cars- they will always get stuff first.
