actually you lose enough speed with the manual 0-60 that a base Carrera with the PDK is just as fast from 0. I had a 1970 911 T targa and had to change the clutch numerous times — over 12 years. I would be afraid to ask what A dealer charges to replace the clutch on a 991 or 992 series 911. Likely the same - need to drop the engine completely out of the car — this was several thousand dollars back in the 70’s. What does a dealer charge now? And when the clutch would fail you were stranded. The auto just gets worse and worse but rarely fails enough to stop the car dead. The Auto’s tend to last 100,000 or more before needing any work so for long term owners a lot cheaper.

Hi, I sent a C4S build to multiple dealers in the Boston area, and heard back from all of them that they are out of allocations and are accepting wait list for a $2500 deposit. Are people finding that there are no allocations out there anywhere? What time frame do we think allocations will come back. I cant imagine being a Porsche sales rep with nothing to sell.
They're still selling Macans, Cayennes... etc. But yes, C4S are hard to find so you'll have to cast your net far and wide; the world doesn't end at Boston Harbor contrary to popular belief.
Check out David Soyk @ Gaudin Porsche in LV or Greg Ashukian at Greenwich Porsche mention you got their name from a contact in Alaska

the local NY Metro area (NY, NJ, CT) there are no dealers waving the flag to come and get a 911.....searching for a dealer with something on the lot is about the best you can do, or possibly let dealers know you're looking for a cancelation
otherwise...hop on the 2022 train....

Two weeks ago I called just over 12 dealers to get an allocation. One dealer was firm at $2500 off on S Cab that locks in April, July delivery, I was surprised with all the allocation issues that it was just sitting there not taken. Also I received an email offer of MSRP TTS Cab allocation, didn't reply asking what month, not interested in TTS for a cabriolet.
My build locks in March, looking forward to it.

I'm glad I saw this thread as I was noodling around finally replacing my 2007 997. -Interested in a Cabrio. Called my NJ dealer where I still care for my car. No allocations for a cabriolet, only base car. No sense of when an allocation will come. They do have a GT Silver base 2020 with 2K mi that just arrived and is being offered for $1K below sticker.

I talked to another dealer nearby. A nice guy who used a lot of "let me level with you" and "don't quote me" statements. He said he was told that they will get specifics about new allocations next month, in the next couple of weeks. He thinks that new allocations will be for cars that are delivered after July. Unlike the other dealership, he was more upbeat and optimistic and confident that an allocation would be available in the future. At this dealership they ask for $1000 to get on the list. Once the allocation is available, they prefer 10% down (more for an unusual option combo). No discounts on 911 allocations because there is too much demand.
They do have one unsold Heritage car, but the owner hasn't decided to sell it or keep it for himself. The salesman was good in that he does not recommend buying that car unless you have a nice display type garage (which I don't) and also plan to put as few miles on it as possible.
I can't decide to order a C2 Cabrio or C2S Cabrio. I have a 38K Mi 2007 C2 6-speed (Meteor Grey/Grey interior). We also have a dual motor stealth Tesla 3, so I now know what fast is like.
