I’m #3 on my dealers list after having a pre-trade and 992S delivery “ misunderstanding “. I wonder if it’s possible to find out what the “ actual” dealers allocation # is??

Ha! I’m in at msrp. After my most recent experience, I’m wondering if my #3 slot becomes #4 quickly if someone is willing to pay more....

Make sure, during casual conversations, when you say "I'm #3 on the allocation list with my dealership " that you use air quotes with your fingers. It helps people to better understand.

Yeah, I'm gonna request my deposit back. Not playing this game. I think a new R8 will fill the gap nicely until the hype dies down.

You say that, we say that but then people go pay it ALL THE TIME. If you were in business. Just fought through and stayed alive in probably the worst year in history for car sales why would you not try to leverage that and ask. Start at $40k and see where the takers are. I would and don’t blame them. Blame the idiots and call them names for actually paying the ADM because “it’s their money” and they are paying the premiums. BTW you love PNH and they do the EXACT same thing just with “delivery mile” vehicles that they are now selling at “market value”.
If no one paid the stupid mark ups no dealership would be able to get away with it. Would be so nice if some folks didn't feel the need to have it now and pay, let the dealers sit with these allocations and cars for a little bit and not pay a mark up would be awesome to see, but it will never happen as there is always someone willing to pay.

The list means absolutely nothing. Unless you have something in writing that says MSRP and even that doesn't matter. The list is a charade.

Sharing parts of an email from my SA where I bought my first two Porsches. I am on three dealer's list. This one was my backup as I moved to NOLA. This dealership has been very upfront and transparent with me. For context, I asked where I stood in the allocation process as I had placed a deposit down 22 months ago. His response was this morning.
"I believe we got the info on how many cars we will be getting in the next allocation period. No actual allocations yet. Porsche has also created 2 models. So we need to know if the client wants a “regular” or a “touring” model. Once we have the actual production slot we will review and determine who gets one of the allocations Porsche has given us for that production period. This will be based on whether client is a previous client or not, how many cars bought from us, possible trade cars, and how much of an advocate for the store the client is. We have to do it this way, since we know we won’t get enough cars to satisfy every client on our list. We have about 70 people on that list.
Our dealer principal decided not to take deposits, but have an “interested” list, since a deposit creates too much of an expectation. Once we have an allocation/order for a client, we take a 10% deposit. So to answer your question, I can’t say where you are in the que for a production slot yet. I do know it won’t be in our first batch (July-October production slots). Would you be interested in a touring or a regular model? Knowing that, will help me working on an allocation for you."

So, are you getting the deposit back you place almost 2 years ago? At least the SA was transparent?

and I know this is a GT3 board here but go out here and look at the 911 prices- including a 992 TTS which has a MARKUP from MSRP and is used. Gimmie a break. The regular 992s with miles on them have very limited amount off MSRP. I very nearly fell off my chair.
