Talked to my SA today and seems like the next round of allocation is Jan. Anyone heard anything from their SA?

 

I heard similar but that its more like late Jan, early Feb. I'm confident he gave me good info because I'm first in line for a C2. Also heard that this last round of allocations was heavily weighted towards the Macan and had very, very few 911s.

 

FYI, posted on another forum, but looks like a refresh is scheduled for MY23

 

Isn't that a little early for the 992.2??? Or what exactly does "freshen" mean?

They were expecting a C4S allocation in Nov, but got nothing... Asked me if they could get a GTS ( not clear if 4GTS or 2GTS ) faster if I'd be willing to swap... Of course for a 4 GTS I'd be willing to swap. I pretty much spec'd the C4S with all the standard options in the GTS. But I'm not holding my breath at this point. At this point, I'm about to write Porsche directly and plead my case. I shouldn't have to go begging for an allocation. But it seems unless you've bought three Macans, a Cayenne and a Panamera from the same dealer and ripped out a left kidney to leave as a deposit to "show interest" no allocation is going to happen.

 

I'm still on the fence for a 992 purchase. SA told me they are getting a partial allocation in Dec. Their last location was heavy on the high dollar side. He thinks I could get a base next no problem this time.

 

there are 2 red flags in that statement from your SA: "partial allocation" and "no problem".

 

So I have an opportunity to get a C2 at MSRP delivery early summer 2022. Already in production; can’t spec to my choice. Already spec’d with about 25k in options making sticker $127k. Jump on this opportunity since it seems like everything else has a crazy wait?

Side note I’m on a list for a GT3 with deposit for a GT4RS as well but getting impatient. This C2 will just be an interim car until I get my GT car and hope to lose minimal value on the C2 in that waiting period

 

when do you expect delivery and for what model?

 

how long did you wait for that allocation?

 

Yeah, not sure about this. The 2022 Cayenne remains largely the same and the .2 is expected in 2023. Highly unlikely we see a 992.2 as a MY23.

 

It sounds crazy that the build is locked already but delivery isn’t until next summer. Is it perhaps a “press car” or something?

 

Not sure writing Porsche will do anything but I guess you can try. There is only so much supply and there is a ton of demand… if everyone wrote Porsche you are just left with the same problem but perhaps since not everyone writes them directly or if you have a friendly contact there you could get lucky. To be fair though - even though I’m not one of them - I don’t have a problem with dealers taking care of their VIPs / loyal customers first - if these customers were there buying cars left and right when times were good then it only makes sense that they get in front of the line when times are tough.

 

It takes a long time to order a car and wait . Granted that car forum guys may have more patience but gone at the days of lot cars and impulse shoppers . Sometimes things change in a person's life in 6 months (give for take a few). This might be a good move for you . I miss the days of convenient car shopping .
