Discounts on 2021 orders
#271
2. Get quotes for each of them
3. Share competing quotes with each dealer and ask them to beat it
4. The closer to lock date, the more likely I’ve found them to deal if it comes down to having a firm customer order versus more of a gamble on a dealer build that may require a steeper lot discount

Pay and get it shipped. Most dealers I know will allow you to ship it on your dime and arrangement in the case IF they won't do so or have no interest. I've used a transport company called Angels to pickup an X5 for me once in Cali to Seattle and another time to take a Range Sport to Phoenix. Each time I paid out of pocket, gave the transport company the dealers POC and the dealer a signed release with paperwork to transport the vehicle and viola had my vehicle in a few days. I would check into that route although going to get the car and driving back is the most fun! Not as dangerous as you think...airplane itself is really safe...its just the interim travel and large numbers of people who you are around especially during the holiday travel that is the problem. But done safely you could fly get the car and back safely as a solo trip with proper social distancing!

Well it is over 4,500 miles as well as crossing into Canada and back out, something no one it seems can tell you if you can or can't (see Cody's experience). It would have been in normal conditions a great drive, at this stage of uncertainty, I don't think so. Of course I can always call KALITTA and have them air freight it for probably 10 grand

With the savings of not getting the aerokit and at the suggestions of a fellow Macanforum member, upon looking at the config I realized that it did look unbalanced. To remedy this and using Porsche's tried and true method of burning through cash, I added option VR4 (side skirts). New build for those interested is PMB1BI45

I guess my dealer decided the deal we disussed last week was too good and backed out today. We had nothing official like a deposit made or anything like that but nevertheless, I feel the damage is done with them. They have been great with service on my Boxster so nothing bad to say. Its too bad, as I realy wanted to buy from the salesman. That being said, I need a delaer that will find me an allocation or discount something they have on the lot. I have seen discounts from 2 to 7% on here. I think a 5 or 6% discount is fair. If anyone has a good suggestion of a dealer to reach out to, let me know. Im in the Ky,IND, Ohio area. Maybe what I want is not possible?
Thank you!

Yeah but I'd drop the 90L (extended tank) unless you really drive long distances...so far am getting around 20mpg in mixed city driving in my car and I have 7spd manual. Its not much cost wise but would still drop it. Play with things like Porsche logo/crest in leather on headrest or center console and small things that add to the car vs the fuel tank which you probably won't notice as much IMHO as this isn't a vehicle that has had me at the gas station that often.

Well that sucks...what was their sticking point? Why did the back out? Any chances of re-newing the deal on other terms? I mean if its the discount you have to understand how difficult it is to obtain an allocation these days so many are finding the discounts available to be less than what others many have gotten. 5% for an allocation now a days is probably a bit over the goalpost from what I've seen and some are doing 1-2% as a courtesy with maybe 3-4% being the sweet spot and a small number getting higher WITH very good relationships with their dealers and/or being previous buyers. A few are asking MSRP for allocations but it seems almost all are willing to do better for a car on the lot or a leftover 2020...just I think those are becoming increasingly hard to find. You may be in for a trip in some form if you want car anytime soon though...seems current build/delivery times are now mid Spring to early Summer depending on the dealer. Shop around to multiple places is the advice that seems to be going around now...
