I was lucky, as I randomly walked into a P store to test drive a used cab. Asked about allocations and SA said they have four, one being a cab. It was a C2. I took it and ordered with options I wanted. Pure luck

 

I've been on the waiting list for about 9 months. Dealer called and said I'm #1 on the list and an allocation is available but includes a $10k ADM. I passed. There is a new dealership opening this month near me. Anyone have any ideas on how new dealerships receive allocations?

 

C2 allocations are scarce so if you have an opportunity for one, you may want to try and negotiate that $10k adm unless your are seeking an MSRP only deal. I would not count on your new dealer giving away msrp C2 allocations (if they initially even get any) if a competing dealer (or your region) has adms.

 

I got an MSRP C2 (base) allocation from new dealer about 1.5 months ago. Car is built and now at the port in Emden waiting to be shipped.

so it is possible

 

I'm on the waiting list at 2 other dealers that are MSRP, but obviously the wait is much longer. What really irks me that I was initially told the ADM would be $5k which I agreed to. Then it's increased at the last minute. I tried to negotiate by offering to finance through them or buy an extended warranty (at least something for my money) but they held firm.

The new dealer is owned by indigoautogroup, which has another dealership in town (and I'm on their list but further back). Indigoautogroup has several dealerships across the states so hopefully they will throw a couple of allocations to this new one.

 

hmm….I ordered mine from new indigo dealer at MSRP. It’s at Emden waiting to get in a ship. I would be surprised if they increased the price on me last minute especially since I signed paperwork that had the price on it

 

Every deal is different. Is your MSRP order a straight purchase with no additional add ons, no trade, no finance requirements, no overly excessively optioned car and no prior history of buying Porsches from them? These details may help @BrianFreeman out a bit in negotiating.

 

MSRP, straight purchase, no finance, no trade, base car has about $20k in options. No prior Porsche history

 

The dealer that sprung the extra $5k ADM was not indigo but the new dealership is, as is the other one on the far side of town (about an hour away).

 

That should be perfect leverage power for @BrianFreeman then if trying to get a car from Indigo. You should share your SA with him and specific dealer. He can tell his SA at indigo to look up your deal to match or even contact your SA direct for an order at msrp and have it delivered to him.

 

If he is interested he can direct message me and can provide the info.

 

I have a 911 Coupe allocation available. Fall delivery. Can be built to spec. I am at a dealer in the Midwest. If interested pm me for details.

I think the factory is cranking out the T over the base.

 

A new store will get additional allocations over and above existing stores for a while. How many extra allocations? Well, that is information that won't be shared.

Manufacturers commonly do this to get owners to spend the money to build a new store or upgrade the facility to the latest and greatest. When stores change hands often manufacturers will give extra allocations as well.

It is entirely possible that you may move up a wait list quicker than elsewhere because the store is new. Since this new store is owned by the same dealer as the others nearby they may shuffle inventory/allocation between the stores too. Who knows.

 

I got a base allocation at the of March should and should be taking delivery in a few weeks. My local dealer was kind enough to trade his T allocation for my base, as that was my preference. I would suggest putting your name on as many in State dealers as you can. From what I've heard, what version of 911's dealer receive from Porsche is very random. Also don't dismiss a dealer asking $10K ADM. If they have a list of Base C2 buyers and no one is biting on the $10k ADM they'll start negotiating. It's the same as negotiating off of MSRP back in the day.
