911 waiting time

I recently learned the hard way that the cheaper models aren't the quickest to get an allocation for. I've been on a list for a C2S for over 14 months. Heard that Porsche was using parts for more profitable cars and pumping them out, so I switched to a GTS. Allocation came in less than 2 months.

You're getting a ton of awful replies above. Forgive them, they're terrible ambassadors for RL and for the brand.
The best answer I can give you is my own experience since I also recently took delivery of a base 992. My wait - from the point you're at now - was nearly 14 months. I can also tell you that I dealt with a really good SA and a good dealership and they recently told me that they are telling new customers that it's a 2 year wait. And that's across all models, variants, colors, etc, everything is 2 years. These guys gave me a great purchase experience so I have no reason to doubt their 2 year estimate. Your biggest wait will probably be for the allocation to come through. That's the hardest process because it's so "opaque", you just have to be patient. After that you will have access to TYD and that gives you a little more insight into the rest of the process.
Good luck!

I think its just how it works here in the Middle East maybe. They said the 30% deposit is to be paid after giving me my allocation

******Everyone, there's a misunderstanding
I put in my down payment for the order
Now the dealership said I should be getting my allocation this or next month in which then I will need to pay the 30% deposit
The 30% isn't for the order confirmation

Don't be alarmed by the other posts telling you that 30% is too high. Most posters here are old men from the US that fail to recognize that there are other countries, cultures and ways of doing business in this world. If 30% is standard in your country and you're willing/able to put that money down, then go for it.

Edit: didn't read;ize OP was in the Middle East so depending on things are done there, 30% is a possibility.

I paid about 15% deposit in exchange for a configurable S at msrp to be delivered within 4-5 months. 30 is a lot, unless your getting something in exchange for it, like 30% instead of paying an ADM.

also, please spill the beans on the dealer with 7 911s on the lot for MSRP. You could really help OP out here, and many others. Who needs to wait 14-24 months when you can stroll into a dealer and walk out with a new 911 at sticker!!

comparing likes on posts, man that got me laughing out loud! Is this Facebook or a Porsche enthusiast website?
