If this was at all confusing, I'll clarify this one a bit. With certainty I had a 2022 TS allocation at MSRP, which I bought, but POSSIBLY I also had another 2022 Turbo S from that chicagoland dealership, that I backed out of, because I didnt want to get stuck with 2 TurboS's if both dealerships had been able to secure me one. Both were definitely at MSRP. Now PORSCHE gave me a 2023 Turbo S allocation, that I was allowed to give to ANY authorized Porsche dealership. I 'shopped' it around a bit, between 1 dealer about 2 hours away, 1 dealer that serviced my Turbo S, and my original selling dealer to see if anyone would sell me one at INVOICE, since it was MY allocation to give, not theirs, but I realized that was looking a gift horse in the mouth, and quickly abandoned the notion that I could use my own allocation to get it at invoice. I did panic, and started to worry that I would be stuck holding the bag on a 2023 Turbo S cab, that may depreciate below msrp the minute I got it, BUT I also knew how much I loved my 22 Turbo S, that I would basically order the same thing over again, but with a few more options (mine was pretty maxed out though). So it came down to selling dealership or Service Dealership on who would order me my '23 TS Cab. Service Dealership was happy to do it, BUT Selling dealership said 'I know we couldnt get you that GT3 RS, BUT I just got a performance/free allocation from porsche for a '23 GT3, if you want I'll trade you the TS cab allocation you have, for the GT3 allocation I just got.... and the rest is history. There is obviously an elephant in the room, an obvious question, that I unfortunately wont be able to answer, because that would lead to even more disbelief, and I just dont see the point.

My user name is used on other forums, its used on my instagram and its even been my license plate on a few cars. I can't recall ever being accused of being a liar on any forum... a few have accused me of just being very lucky.

Ok. Financially speaking, there are two sides to this:

1- Dealership : By getting a free allocation, they have made an extra TTS sale that helps them in terms of making a profit up front of $30-35k and a $10k kickback in year end if their ratings are good. So from their perspective, they have given you a GT3 but made $45k extra in return.

2- You : You could have gotten the TTS and sold it in free market with delivery miles for $30-35k over MSRP.

So you didnt get a GT3 allocation for free. You have also lost $10k on your blue TTS (actually you lost quite a bit more but lets not go there).

I think overall you have done fantastic all things considered.

Had a Cali store I work with offer me a Turbo S Cab allocation, June build, 30k over MSRP ask. Not sure how that's priced relative to the market, just figured I'd offer.

Is $25k over for a TTS build (June/July delivery) "fair" in today's market?

I got a GT3 Touring and GT4RS at MSRP from my US dealer. People getting cars at MSRP may not be the norm in today's world but it's not that uncommon either.

For what it’s worth, we were in finalizing our options for our TTS at the dealer yesterday before it locks and our sales executive advised us that 2024 would be the 992.2 starting with Turbo and Turbo S in some sort of hybrid form to start. With that - and IF indeed his information is correct - the 2023/ 2024 will be a staggered year in the transition with potentially longer production of the 2023 but that it would be the last TTS in all ICE iteration. I was asked then if I wanted to pass on my allocation and take one for next spring and I declined. Much like my luck in clicking on the Touring option when building my 991.2 GT3T back in the day, the stars may have aligned for me to timing on the one as well. Conceptually…I am not enamoured with the hybrid concept but we’ll see…and enjoy this car as we learn about the technology coming.

So they wanted you to take a 992.2 Hybrid? And you went with the 992.1 current model?
