Dang! By the time I read your post I had already hit 993. Unfortunately, the post wasn't as classic as the car.

I can't answer for BigLoue, but I have a signed purchase order with my build specs and a locked-in price. Targa allocations haven't been issued yet, and I wasn't going to wait and risk being last in line rather than first. This is probably different from coupe/cab allocations. From reading posts on the forum, it seems like dealers are already receiving 2021 allocations for those models. I don't feel that my situation is too open ended. I've been a good customer of this dealership, and I expect to be treated fairly.

Given limited allocations, what discount can one reasonably expect on a Targa? 2% to 5%?

Default Firm allocations available? I think not.

FYI (Order and deposit given two (2) year ago in anticipation of the 992 Targa)

From my dealer:

I have the updated Porsche Code. I spoke with my rep and allocations will not be coming out to next month so we should be able to move your order to V200 next month.

V070 A vehicle demand request has been submitted to Porsche. This lets Porsche know that your dealer has a customer who wants to order a specific vehicle. This does not mean you have an allocation. This simply lets Porsche know how many potential customers exist. At this point you will not have a build schedule as shown above.

V200 Delivery date determined. Now you have an allocation with an estimated delivery date. This date can easily change through the process due to many outside factors (parts, weather, changes to your order, etc). You should be able to get an estimate build schedule (like the example above) from your dealer at this point.
