I've been waiting on a C2 allocation for about 10 months now...

BUT...

When I put my name on the list I was offered an allocation for an August delivery with a $10k ADM that I declined - mainly because I was clear with the dealer that we couldn't take delivery before Feb '23 and preferred a late March/early April delivery at PEC Atlanta.

Now that I'm ready for an order to move forward I'm in limbo waiting for an allocation. I don't regret passing on the previously offered allocation, but it sucks that now I don't know when another allocation will become available.

It's currently far from it.

I asked about allocation on 8/30, received an allocation in early/mid Sept, and took delivery last week. I have a C2. I’d recommend expanding your search to other dealers. I paid MSRP in a different state. Process could not have been any smoother.

Pure speculation but since demand appears to exceed supply across all 992 variants, wonder if Porsche is prioritizing production of more expensive models=higher profit margin?

I’m in Rittenhouse area. Like the gts. Not love. I think a little too much plastic bits in the interior for a 200,000 car.

More so than your previous 4s? What about the ride, feel, sound? Would be nice if our paths cross in the future! Where did you get yours from?

Any way when you guys say u put your order demand in and when you got your allocation can you guys specify where you were on the wait list. Kinda give any idea of the burn rate of how fast the list went. thxs!

Unfortunately wait lists nowadays are more fiction than reality.

It's sort of dealer speak for "don't call us, we'll call you" ...

Call your dealer, or any dealer, and ask them what it would take to get a 911 allocation now.

If they say, "Well, if you're willing to pay $$ ADM I can get you in an allocation today" then there is no list.

If they say, "There's nothing I can do, I can't even trade for an allocation" then you know that while there may be a list, it's probably a guessing game as to when you'll get your allocation.

Probably true. I literally walked into Porsche Scottsdale in January of 2022 with no previous buying history, understood where the market was, told the SA who I'd met 5 minutes prior that I wanted an allocation, and within 30 minutes had an agreed upon an ADM, and an allocation in hand. I had my car May 27th.

If I had told them to put me on a list at MSRP I think there's a good chance I'd still be waiting for an allocation.

C2 was easier to find and had shorter waitlists than either the C2S or GTS out here in CA last summer based on the three dealers I talked to.
