Also, I think Burlington and Boston are the same company (Herb Chambers).

 

They are going to be guessing, just like you, until they have the car in hand given the supply chain situation, weather, dock worker strikes, etc.

I got my C2 about 3.5 months after order lock in September, including a 2 week production start delay, and extended delays at both the shipping and receiving ports.

 

I agree. It is all conjecture and life happens, but there appears to reasonable expectation of about 3-5 months after allocation.
I didn't do the math on all on the responses.

 

Got fed up after being on a C2S list for 12 months and not moving anywhere. Found out the GTS list was much, much shorter. Took 2 months for allocation.

 

I received an allocation for a C2S Nov 18.

Production completed today. All dates 100% accurate up to now as originally projected.

Now I have a date of landing at the dealer from Feb 05 - March 30.

My SA says it will more then likely be here end of Feb. I am in Canada.

 

Congrats! It is good to know that I am not the only one in this position. At this point, I just hope that I can get an allocation for a 994.2!

 

Well I can't imagine them building the GTS beyond this calendar year? Then we are into 992.2 territory or at least the split line when the change over starts to happen, then you're waiting forever till the 992.2 GTS comes out. Who knows what the Hell that will be, maybe Hybrid.

The video releases from the Ring show the 992.2 Turbo S e-hybrid making the rounds. The way it's moving around, I'm sure it's not optimized, but it moves like it's heavy as Hell.

 

Demand order on 12/27/2021 for C2S @ MSRP
Received an available Allocation for a GTS on 12/2/2022
Freeze Date on 12/12/2022
Scheduled for production on 1/4/2023
Expected arrival at Jacksonville Port on 2/28/2023
First time Porsche owner, no trade in.

 

Got GTS allocation from dealer on 5 Dec 2022 with freeze date 11 Feb 2023 and delivery date 7 April 2023. MSRP with no ADM (I have a 2020 992 C2S for trade-in) and I will be locking in everything tomorrow at dealer.
However I have been near the top of their GTS list for a while (got an allocation in May 2022 for 26 Aug 2022 delivery and turned it down 5 days before freeze date due to several options I wanted being kicked back with stop-orders).

For fun I asked about GT3 (which I don't want for my daily driver) and was told I would have to wait about 3 years (we did not discuss ADM). The two dealers I work with get at most 1 GT3 per month and already have 30-40 solid buyers on the waitlist ahead of me.

 

(pertaining to a vanilla car)
Lets assume MY changeover with .2 updates to car follow past form and date/times.
So April 2023 the 992.2 is officially announced and the configurator is updated.
Next assumption, August is alleged factory holiday shutdown/re-tool.
Thus 2024 992.2 start rolling off line 3rd week of August, worst 9/1.

OK with those assumptions all validated, what monthly release batch would represent those first .2 cars?
Again using the dates of past scheduled quarterly allocation releases (months)
I am assuming May 2023 would be when I get the hopeful call from my dealer??

 

I know these are assumptions, but I doubt the configurator will be updated to model year 2024 until around July 2023, even if the 992.2 is officially announced in April 2023.
Just based on a hunch and posts on this forum, I believe 992.1 cars will be built up until the end of July 2023.
I am not exactly sure what a "monthly release batch" means but I assume you mean when 992.2 cars are built and released for shipping to dealers. Based on my assumptions, I suspect the new 992.2 cars will be shipped in mid to late September 2023.

 

I've been reading these forums for 2+ years and am jealous of all of you.

I'm like the worst new porsche customer of all-time - cash buyer, no prior relationship, no trade (current lease expires Aug 2023). The dealers closet to me have had zilch for inventory given the world we're in, and don't even bother taking a deposit for a waiting list. Higher volume dealers in Chicago have told me 2+ year wait, or a $15k-$30k ADM. I even asked about a taycan 4S and was told 18+ month wait.

Will probably try to figure out something used in 2023, but I don't see this ADM or high demand/long wait times changing anytime soon. Its probably easier to get a Rivian 1S or a Lucid than any non-SUV Porsche these days.

Never thought being lucky enough to buy a 992 would end up being a pain in the A@#! First world problems...I know.....

 

Doesn’t make a difference with Porsche… Porsche allocates the car to dealers, not based on demand orders. Some dealers have been requiring a certain option spend, because they make more money on a highly optioned car.

 

@992Mirage Everything you said was my case exactly, down to the disappointment that once I finally had the means to buy something fun, I couldn't. However, you should investigate wait lists for all models you'd even remotely consider. I was surprised to find a huge C2S line but then only one for a GTS. I was in line over a year for a C2S with very little movement, but only 2 months for a GTS. Never would have guessed that.

 

My timeline... 4 months, from allocation date to delivery day.

I placed an order on Feb 18, 2020 with a March 3 lock date for a 2020 C2S with about $28K in options. The pandemic shut down the factory for 3 weeks shortly thereafter, and my order was delayed only one month to the Washington, DC area. I took delivery June 16, 2020, just shy of 4 months from allocation date.

When I placed my order, I asked, "Do you have allocation for a C2S?" Porsche Tysons, VA said "Yes," so I said, "Can you meet a 6% discount?" They again said, "Yes," and so I gave them a deposit of $2,500 with my build code to start the order. Man, those were the days!

This was all as COVID was about to get serious, but before anything was shut down on the East Coast, and the world for that matter. I don't know of anyone getting discounts right now, but hopefully by the second half of this year we'll start to see things get a little more reasonable and at least get back much closer to MSRP for base cars. Time will tell...
