Default Carrera S allocation - a few questions

I asked these questions in a different thread, but it went nowhere. Curious as to the following:

1. What is the current going ADM rate on a 992 Carrera S allocation?

2. Is the Heritage interior package with the cognac/pepita combo still available to option? Or has it been taken off the table like other options (eg PTS)?

3. How hard is it to find a Carrera S allocation compared to the other Carrera variants?

Thank you in advance.

1. ADM varies by region and dealer Can be all over the place dollar wise

2. Heritage interior is on stop sale

3. Not at all easy to find in general and if this is just the start of your search will be nearly impossible to secure a true allocation at the moment (unless perhaps you have something else to bring to the table that a dealer wants such as a very desirable trade or an ADM offer they just cannot refuse). For a while now C2 and C2S are about the hardest allocations to come by. Best to start calling all your local dealers and inquire. Just be prepared as there likely will be many people ahead of you waiting for their name to be called unfortunately.

In my experience, the wait list for a C2S was much, much longer than for a GTS. A year went by with no movement on the C2S. But got a GTS allocation in two months once I learned there was only one person in line. I'd suggest investigating the list for all models you might even remotely consider.

It’s likely any S order now will be a .2 by the time you get an allocation.

And the .2 should have a hefty price increase. Might be worth it to offer a nice ADM to move to the front of the line. The extra year or so of enjoying the car is worth money plus the savings on the price increase makes the ADM more palatable.

If your dealer is ask for a ADM move along. Porsche doesn't allow ADM. If you offer to pay more that's different. On pre owned anything goes.

I have to agree with this, but side deals are side deals with ADM and in certain markets it does it's work where there is a long list.
- For me personally, I am doing the deal with no ADM and have worked with a dealer that is familiar with me (although I'm still playing the waiting game, nobody gets around that). Promises are promises though, and you never know what kind of dope deals the dealer (other sales personnel) are doing with ADM's unbeknownst of you on a particular model.

I almost want to go back to my sales agent and wave an extra $20G in front of her just to see what all of the hoopla is about... but no, not really

I’m surprised to hear you guys say this, because my experience has been that Porsche has very much allowed dealers to ask for and fully require ADMs. I have had countless dealers tell me an ADM will be added, often coming from the sales manager, and typically in writing. Maybe Porsche is against it in theory, but I can tell you from my experience, the dealerships are certainly not shaking in their boots. It’s not like Porsche has ever done anything about it, that is for sure.

I have read tons of threads, dealt with Porsche dealers, and bought a 23 (at msrp), and this is the first time I ever heard that Porsche does not allow ADMs. What is your source?

Allocations for C2S are very hard to come by. My dealership is large volume and hasn’t had an S allocations in the last 6 months. After a year of waiting they told me I can either wait for a .2 S or take an extra GTS allocation they received. My GTS is now sitting in Emden.

My understanding is they don't allow nor forbid ADMs...BUT if you want to be a Premier Dealership, you can't collect ADM on new units. There are perks with the Premier rating that include additional allocations amongst other things so all dealerships probably do the calculus of determining if they can qualify as a PD given all it takes to achieve that and if it is worth it to them.

great point. I’m willing to shop nationwide. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best region or regions for the lowest ADMs? I assume California, Texas, Florida and the northeast are NOT where I should start.

First that I've heard of the Aero-kit being off the table. That's a deal breaker for me on my Ruby Star GTS, it's gotta have it.

The C2S has appeared to be much more difficult to find this year however, the GTS is widely available and I wouldn't be surprised if production numbers reflect the same.
