Unfortunately, there is a decent chance that either of those timelines carries you past the availability of the 992.1 model and both the T and GTS trims will likely not be available early in the 992.2 cycle.

 

Welcome, Mr. Duck. Can I assume UCSB and Oregon affiliations?

If you're considering the T already, what about the Base and the S?
Also, you might be able to negotiate a better lead time on your new 911 once you have a used one to offer up as trade-in bait.
Finally, have you talked to dealers in Sacto and the Bay Area about allocations?

 

Spot on Nein Eleven.

I’m also considering 4S…which may help solve the 992.1 vs 992.2 model year transition mentioned by Drew46.

Does the trade-in benefit require the purchase from same dealer where you get an allocation?

If so, will definitely need to expand my search to Sacramento/Bay Area as the options are limited in Reno.

 

Your allocation will be specific to that dealer so you will purchase the car from the dealer that gets you the allocation.

 

This back log of 911s we’ve all heard are from supply chain issues seeding back to the pandemic. So people are making bold predictions that things will improve since lockdowns are currently behind us and economic activity has slowed. But could there be another reason lurking that didn’t exist to the degree it did 4 years ago? A fear of being left out, and the toilet paper effect. It plays in to human emotions. The culprit could be the EV revolution and the constant bombardment of news with countries and providences pledging to ban ICE vehicles, not allowing any new construction of gas stations and the never ending emissions reductions. If that is what’s driving the 911 market, I’m afraid to say things may never go back to the way they were. I hope I’m wrong.

 

Just got my GTS 4 allocation after a little over 14 months.

 

I asked my salesman for a Carrera T allocation in early December, he said they were waiting for more allocations and put me on a list. I just was told I have an allocation last week at MSRP, production 03/2023 and expected delivery 05/2023. I do have a relationship though, 2 991 Targas, a Macan S, Taycan 4S and GT4.

 

I'm waiting for a Targa 4. Still not even an allocation!

- first placed order August 2021 with a dealer A (17 months ago). I was first in line on the waitlist

- In early Feb 2022 (almost 12 months ago) switched to dealer B who is a relatively new dealer that gets higher allocations, told me dealer A gets very few allocations, reassured me I'd get an allocation in fall 2022 . I was 7th on the list, had to put down an ADM.

- as of December I was 4th on the list at dealer B. Might get an allocation towards the end of the year. So I suspect I will be 24+ months from initial order to delivery!

Anyone else up there with me?

Am I setting the record?

(Do I regret switching dealers, maybe)

 

SA just called to say my car will be at dealership on Monday.

So overall the car took just over 4 months from the date the order was submitted.

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I've had fantastic experiences with my Dealership (Porsche of Woodland Hills) in Los Angeles. If you would like my SA's contact info shoot me a PM. He's awesome at his job believe me. If not, that's cool too and I hope you get an allocation soon!

 

With all the Hi-Tech layoff recently, do we think the 911 demand to ease a little? ADM should be an issue to some of those ‘Option’ babies now.

 

But there is quite a back log to work through, we may not see much relief in 2023.

 

Just got an allocation for a base cab on Jan 9 this year. Locks on Mar 3. Delivery on Apr 24. Joined the list
in early Apr 22. Have had a maintenance relationship with dealer for over 4 years. No prior purchases from dealer.
