Contacted my local dealer about an allotment and was told $5k deposit to get on the list.. went in and drove a couple, decided I wanted on.. the SA I did the test drive with told me only $2500 to get on the list. I hand him my credit card. He comes back, says I’m #2 on the list and they get their allotments in November. All is good and then he says “you know about the 10% markup, right?” I say “no and I won’t be paying it.” He tried to explain the market and I tell him we will see how it is in in November if I get an allotment. Not happy about the “by the way..” move that was pulled after charging my card.

The best to do is just wait. That is what I am doing. They are not going to stop making 911s, their production is just hampered in the near term by supply issues. I had an allotment to order a 911 early last month and sold it someone who couldn't wait. Patience wins out.

I say - if you have the money, desire and opportunity….go for it

I agree. It doesn't hurt to at least get in line so that when this ADM nonsense is over, you'll be at the top of the list. That's essentially what I'm doing - I'd love nothing more than a delivery in April for my birthday or anything leading up to next summer. But the time to get in line is now, not wait.

For me I already own a 911 and a 356. I can wait and suggest others who don't want to pay through the nose, for car they might not get for 6-9 months, should wait as well. Porsche isn't going to stop making 911s. What is the rush?

You have waited your entire life for a 911what makes right now so special? What is the rush?

If a car doesn’t excite me to the point where I want to get one ASAP….then I probably wouldn’t bother with getting that car at all.

Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense to me. It's a car, an inanimate object. I bought my first Porsche at 19 years old. I should ask what has taken the rest of you so long?

You have an order placed and accepted by Porsche AG and a sign contract with a dealer?
