I reached out to three dealers to discuss an allocation.

Local dealer, $0
Regional large dealers (Atlanta) , $1K and $2.5K refundable.

All MSRP.

 

No deposit, but I pre traded my 21 C4S when the allocation came in.

 

10% ($17,000 wire) as allocation was available same day I emailed them in fall 2020. Seemed like a lot but I knew I was 100% keeping my order and I was a 1st time customer. I reached out to every dealer in Florida and no one else had a C2S Cab allocation.

 

$1K down upon requesting allocation. $10% down upon freeze.

 

it varies a lot by dealer, relationship & history, and country. Like a lot. anything from $0 to $x to x%. I've heard as high as 20% for some European dealers. Some folks pay a deposit on wait list, some on an allocation, and some on V200 (locked) and some on any combination of those.

 

$3k allegedly “non refundable” at allocation. nothing prior. balance at delivery.

 

$0. Paid 100% on delivery. I actually wanted to give them a small deposit in exchange for some paperwork once I had the allocation to ensure the car was really mine at our agreed price. Was bracing for some serious dealer shenanigans on delivery, but there were none.

New customer, no trade, no watch or other crap, MSRP.

 

“$1000” on allocation request although they only took my AMEX number and didn’t actually charge it.

$10k on lock date.

MSRP

 

Nominal deposit upon order but 25% down when order locked for production. That seems high compared to others on here…

 

I put $0 down for my 992 and my current 992 GTS that is on a ship, same dealer. However, I did put $2k down to get in line for a GTS at another dealer in late 2021. I asked for a refund in late 22 since I was 2nd on the list all year. I really think it depends on the dealer.

 

My local dealer charges nothing to be placed on a list. When an actual allocation comes up, and it's your turn, they call and ask if you want it. If you do, they take a $5K non-refundable deposit along w/ your build request. They sell non-GT and non-special edition cars at MSRP and the contract is written up with all fees, MSRP pricing, sales tax etc. all written out and signed off by the sales manager and by the buyer. If you have an outlandish build, they will ask for more money - up to $10K.

 

$5k deposit that went up to $12k three months ago
20% on allocation
MSRP

 

Zero deposit, zero when I got an allocation, MSRP when delivered.

 

Did you have a fairly standard order? Not that mine was crazy or would've been hard to resell but mine was zero deposit, zero allocation, 10% to submit the order

 

Nothing unusual in my order. Just dealt with a very professional SA and Sales Mgr.
