If MY2021 is any indication, July was the cutover date between model years. Also, expect a few months delay on MY22 as it will need EPA and for some states, CARB certification. Once my car was in Houston at the port, it took another 3 months to get the car to the dealer. Hopefully this won't be the case with MY22 but don't be surprised.

Yes, it is very hard. I had a Premier dealer take my $5k deposit for a C2S back in October 2020, thinking they would get an allocation in a month or two. I was first on the list. It never came. I believe them to be honest and they really tried, to the extent that when I told them last week another dealer out of state had a C2S allocation, they said I should take it if I want a car in the foreseeable future. And I’m paying MSRP, which I normally never do. But I don’t trust what will happen with the 2022 model year and don’t want to lose the manual transmission option. Covid changes everything.

and you are probably right, but things like the looming particulate matter filters scare me. I feel this generation of 911 will be the last to evoke the heritage of an analog age. It’s my first Porsche but I’m steeped in Porsche history. My driving instructor at Sebring was none other than the great Porsche factory driver Vic Elford!
After 2 back to back cancers, losing my healthy father to Covid19 and turning 60, I want to get this right!

Ha...yes many thought that and ALL had to wait...some for months. Despite the car being the same basically all MY21s were NOT released by EPA until mid Nov and CARB took their sweet time and released cars I think a few weeks later around 1st week of Dec. So do NOT hold your breath. Each year must be properly certified! Hopefully both Porsche NA/AG and the various govt agencies will have their shyt together this time but don't bet on it.

I can't believe based on these 911 sales numbers that there is a draught on allocations and cars to purchase. Did people in 2019 go through this same process of hard to find allocations and no cars on the lot? Do we attribute this to substantially higher demand than in previous years?

Look at the drop in volume from 2019 to 2020...that is due to a supply constraint is if you look around there are barely any 911s sitting on dealer lots. Add that to people having extra cash due to the stock market, and less spending on vacations, dining etc and you have probably 25% more demand than normal now.

Hi all, just got offered a C2S coupe (changeable) allocation. Dealer was trying to get me to trade in one of my father's cars (991) since they need inventory but he is not interested. If anyone wants the info I will pass along.
