Hello, I'm a first time 911C4 buyer and I really appreciate all the information everyone posts here. I really wish I had found the forums before I went to a dealership as I would have been more prepared and known what to ask more specifically. My question is that as a first time buyer I feel very much like I'm being strung along and don't know if I have a real allocation (I have a V070 and the first stage "your order is created" on the MyPorsche app). So I have no idea if and when I'll get a real allocation and build date and delivery. The SA has thrown out possible dates but said it could be later, so it could be a year or two the way he talks. Yet I fear that if I'm too forceful in asking for detailed status from my SA and dealer they'll just drop my name down the list for the annoyance. They've made it abundantly clear that demand is through the roof so I can take it or leave it. Does Porsche monitor the queue and prevent their customers from being played with like this or is it just up to dealers to do whatever they please and the parent company doesn't care? For all I know they're moving other people ahead and that's why I don't seem to move up to the next phase. My SA seems like a nice guy, but I have no way of knowing if he's honest or just using me as a backup if allocations are given up. It's getting to the point that it's souring my experience of buying my dream car that I've been waiting for 20 years to buy like the kid in the old advertisements. Any advice?

Hi,
Thanks to everyone for posting this info. I have learned a lot, but still have a couple questions.
Just sold my Boxster and looking for a 911 Cabriolet, MY22. I see lots of post about allocations for c2 and c4, which I think is carerra 2's and carerra 4's. But, curious if a Carerra 2 Cabriolet falls under C2 or if it is another designation?
Also, curious about the best way to find an allocation. Should I just call every Porsche dealer in a 200 mile radius and ask? I have read some stories of people being promised an allocation (and making a deposit) when one didn't really exist. How do you know if they really have an allocation? Is there something I can ask to make sure?
Lastly, if I do find a dealer with an allocation, should I contact my local dealer and have him try to trade for it? This also raises the question, can he do a better job of calling around to find an allocation than I can?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

In replay to this:
For what it's worth, I've been waiting on an allocation since Jan. I didn't really ask around, since I was told I was first on the list for a C4S. I'm starting to think that was a mistake, and I probably should have spent more time calling around to every dealer in a 500 mile radius... I thought I'd be saying time *shrug*. But seeing a lot of other people getting confirmed allocations for MY22's, I'm kind of at a loss why my dealer is so behind.
My advice would be to call around with a radius you're comfortable with traveling to pick up the car and get a confirmed allocation. Or do one of the experience center pick ups then it does't really matter so much the dealer you buy from other than registration and taxes.

Targa GTS
Just got got put on a waitlist for a targa GTS @ a Chicagoland dealership. Apparently I am second on the list. lets see when an allocation becomes available.... The sales team was not very helpful. I am not sure they are going to really follow the list. I called around to some smaller dealers for a Targa GTS or Targa 4s, most say 6-12 months. Anyone hear anything else?

If it helps, I contacted every dealer around me, 5 states total. Only was able to obtain 2 allocations. 1 I passed on since the dealer was not very nice, let's just say smug and I was basically bothering them to secure a 150k+ allocation. I thought their terms were also less than ideal. Keep at it, you will eventually find a allocation, just be prepared for msrp and a long wait.

I'm happy to report that I managed to get a fall PTS allocation for a '22 C4S.
It freezes 9/20 for a build completion on 11/05 and delivery to my dealership (allegedly) on 12/10.
I wish it were earlier, but this was a August/September build allocation that was shifted back to fit into a PTS slot for me.
We will see how those dates hold up!

I am waiting on an allocation for a C2S, placed the deposit about 2 months ago and was told I'm #1 on the waiting list. When the GTS was announced, I placed a deposit for that one as well since my dealer said basically you can just cancel one of them as we get closer and more details on a timeline. Does this sound like a good idea?

That said, my final configuration is ready for submission today and I'd be fine with it locking now... 2.5 months earlier than my official freeze date. It's just not what was in on 6/21.
Now you have me wanting to double-check!
