I have a MY25 coming in 3-4 weeks and it's because of how cheap the base interior felt that I splurged on the nicer interior package (rolling dice on the dark night blue...never saw in person). If I was buying MY26, I'd be tempted to go with the base interior now.
These price increases are out of control. And the sad thing is it won’t affect demand one bit. Maybe ADMs will come down?
Price increases will impact demand. But maybe not enough to make a dent. I would be very surprised if buyers are desperate enough to pay ADMs on top of this. There really are substitutes.

I am picking up my new '25 Carrera on Friday with the dark night blue. You are going to love it. Stitching looks great, and nice change from black.
And if that wasn't bad enough .. Friend had his order rejected by the dealer on a base 911 for not having >$30K in options. Dealer said they get more allocations if they submit orders with more option $$$. Reads like someone in PCNA gets a tidy bonus on the amount of options. Thought it was just the watches.
Cheers.
The dealer gets more as a percentage of price on options, and even more on the exclusive manufacture options. When I bought in 2024 at MSRP the dealer told me up front I had to put a certain amount of options in the car to get it at MSRP...it was well below 30K and even below what I was going to get anyways.
I looked at this car a few weeks ago and decided to keep looking. Loved everything but the wheels. Could not get an allocation for my custom build, no other decent inventory in the region, so getting my exact car was not going to happen anytime soon. I put on my big boy pants and realized it was a great build with some nice options and decided the wheels were fine. Turns out, it was still available and the trade$ for my 991.2 was great. So Friday is pick up day. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than smart and happy to avoid spending another $6k or so.

Nice, same ext/int as me it feels like, Chalk over Dark Night Blue w/ Chalk stitching. Any discount? or just straight MSRP from the sticker?

Exactly, $156k sticker paid MSRP and got a bit hosed on the required wrap, and ceramic. Maybe $2k over what I could do privately. Has the innodrive which should be a nice party trick that I will likely never use. They did great on my trade so all good.
