This may come as no surprise to some, but a surprise to others...
So a colleague of mine gave me the name of a Porsche manager in a neighboring state. he said give him a call, as he;’s a “pretty honest guy”. So yesterday I called and asked him, straight up, whether it is fairly common for a SA to bump a customer in the allocation line because of a higher discount? He said, “absolutely it is”. He added that some dealerships discourage this practice, but it is not forbidden, either. He did close with some optimism...he said don’t despair, and that eventually, I would get an allocation (at some point).
So, at this point, I have to believe that my 6% discount I negotiated has become an influencing factor in trying to secure an allocation.

Hopefully mine holds at 11/13/20. It's moved twice so far.
Usually TYD moves the date out another week on the Sunday or Monday beforehand.
So I'm not exactly holding my breath at this point. But hope does spring eternal I suppose.

Does the certification include all 911 models typically (base, s and the turbos)??
Pardon the ignorance. First time dealing with this process. Have been a car lot buyer pretty much until now...

No, it's a C2S that I ordered in August. I don't have a trade involved in the transaction. It's strictly a cash deal. I have a written purchase agreement. I don't imagine they'll try to modify or wriggle out of it.

Total of 98 Showing on Cars.com but none with pics in the US. Up from 88 2021 992s that cars.com showed on 5th Nov when I checked. So someone is posting something....on their websites.
TDY still shows 11/13 release date as before which has been showing across the forum I think after the original move date from 11/6 about a week and a half ago.

So yeah...it happens...though it shouldn't!
