I would make the distinction between the “dealers” and the sales force, and other staff that work for the dealership. Yeah, the guys that own the dealerships will do just fine, but I think some SA will feel the pinch.

The latter group is particularly heinous given how they control the market (MLS and all). The worst is the buyer agent fee structure. Buyer agent should be paid directly by the buyer, not be a kickback from seller's agent fee.

I also just received the call. My 3/11 delivery GT3 Touring has been rescheduled for September. Not as quickly as I had expected. Then comes model year issues. Would you take a ‘22 in September? Should be a ‘23. I have been waiting for this car for 18months. I have been without a car since 10/3/20, due to pre-trade issues, and being promised a ( fictitious) delivery date on an S. Fortunately, I live in NYC. I am becoming grumpier by the minute.

Reports are fire is starting to dissipate because it’s running out of stuff to burn. Tug boats and fire fighting boats arrived today.

Looks like they are starting the re-building process right now. TYD is active again and shows my freeze point is 4/11 with a delivery date of 7/1. About 4 months later than I was expecting, but I’ll take it.

I’m happy for you! What model? Does your rebuild build have the same commission #?

If one looks at this from a macroscopic level, yes, Porsche will be fine. Dealerships will be fine, but some SA’s will temporarily take a hit. Not the end of the world, but not everyone has the financial resources of most Porsche owners.

…..on basically sold cars. It’s not like they have tons of allocations.
Again, this isn’t about the company. This is about the little man making the sales and banking on paychecks to pay the bills.

Dealer just called and said porsche issued me an allocation for my now 3rd build. I'm a bit disappointed as the build date is in June and delivery in Aug/Sept. I was really hoping for a build/delivery months earlier. This for me translates into nearly 2 driving seasons lost of enjoying my car. This entire process has been a complete let down.
