Unless you have buying history and are part of the “in crowd” you will not be given an allocation for one of the first produced 992.2. You will wait for two years until the in crowd have flipped them and the heat in the used market has died off then they might let you have one.
if you’re lucky your allocation will be one of the last 992.1, then you’ll get it quickly. If not be prepared to be waiting until 2026. That’s how it works.
Great. I guess there is really no recession at all. everyone doing well.
I’m new to this game. But it seems like Econ / Marketing 101 - When there is a demand for a scarce product, a capitalist seeks to maximize profits by charging what the market will bear. Some factors to consider: Price, timing, availability of desired model, flexibility to substitute desired model, willingness to take existing car with options you wouldn’t order, color, actual allocation for the model your want, willingness to buy what’s here now with hope for future trade, and so on. You can try to maximize every criteria you need, but you’ll probably realize at some point that unicorns don’t exist.
Sure, it’s possible to get the MSRP, but I’d wager you won’t get it soon, and even if you do, it won’t be what you said you really wanted, etc, etc, etc. And each of us has different value weightings on what we must have vs what we can live without.
I’m 74, and due to advanced stage 4 cancer I’m willing to pay an ADM to get the GTS I wanted, and I got an true allocation on the first day I visited my local dealer. Hopefully you don’t have a health situation like mine, so your weighing criteria will be different. But I understand some will be angry and demand the situation needs to be fixed. Frankly I’m very happy to have the choice I have even though it is a compromise financially.
What’s the right price and timing for your dream car this year? What you’re willing to pay!
Sorry to hear this. Have you taken delivery of your GTS yet or if not the projected date?
Love the look on the 992.2, with its "Cat Whiskers." However, I will take my European Delivery of the current MY 2024 992.1, and not look back (or forward).
