Last year in August, I was fortunate enough to snag an allocation (at MSRP) for a base 992. It was picked up right after Thanksgiving and has been my daily driver since. This year, in August, I called my dealer to be placed on the waitlist for S or GTS, expecting a 1-2 year waitlist and was offered an allocation (at MSRP) for a GTS that same day. Evidently someone else had given up their slot and I happened to call at the right time! Though I wasn't expecting this outcome, I had to take advantage!
I'll be in trading my base 992 (same color) - any sense of depreciation on a 2023 with 7,000 miles? I had purchased the 20k service as part of the deal, so hopefully that helps minimize depreciation. Sticker was about $120k for the base 992 (premium package, sport steering wheel, 26 gal tank).

The question is so location dependent. It would seem like you live in an area where MSRP is the norm for new cars. So figure MSRP - 15 to 20% trade in values for a 1 year old

Probably take a bigger hit on trade would be my guess as well.

get a quote from givemethevin.com or wholesalechad.com, that'll give you a ballpark idea of how much you can get if you trade it in. Also depending on where you live you can get a tax credit, and it'll lower your tax burden quite a lot (you only pay tax on the price difference btw trade in and new car)
@FrstPorsche Good luck to us both. SFL Conductor is heading to Jacksonville and is scheduled to arrive there tomorrow before finally arriving in Houston on 11/3. Soon….
Hey guys, long time lurker but first time poster here. I've been on a waiting list at a couple of dealers waiting for a 992GTS Coupe allocation for close to two years now. Two dealers have told me that I'm first in line for this next batch of allocations, which were initially supposed to be communicated/allocated early October but am now being told won't be allocated until early November (2 weeks away). I JUST had another dealer reach out to me telling me that he has a 4GTS that's mine if I want it (customer build that's backing out of the deal). It's close to my build/spec, but is missing a few specs that I was opting in for (rear axle steering, front axle lift, 18-way seats, carbon roof, GTS interior package). The car comes with standard 4-way Sport Plus seats and a glass sunroof. And of course its an AWD vs the RWD.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Logical me is concerned that the two dealers who promised me that I was #1 on the list may not get an allocation of a GTS Coupe and I may find myself waiting longer than I intended. As a result, I'm seriously considering 'settling' for the 4GTS without some of the components that I would otherwise prefer to have on my build. On the other hand, what's an additional few month wait given that I've already been on the sidelines for two years? And then of course there's the thought that I might miss out on the last gen of non-hybrid 992 GTSs if I don't "settle" for the 4GTS and end up not getting my own allocations.
The frustration is real over here and I'm not sure how to proceed. Anybody else go through a similar dynamic and, if so, how did you proceed? Any regrets? Concerns?

Do not settle on an expensive purchase like this. That new car feeling wears off for all and when the car isn’t exactly as you want it, it happens earlier. Wait a little bit and get exactly what you want.
