As you probably already know, order for PCCB for July Turbo allocations is being rejected. For various reasons (that have been discussed ad nauseum and I hope that we PLEASE don't get into it here), PCCB is a must for me.
Question(s) One: What is the best way to approach this, ask for August allocation and check every week if sthe order willl be accepted? And then if August passes w/out acceptance, request for September allocation? Will any dealer "put up" with this (since this means you will release your spot when there is little time left for anyone else to change the order)?
Question Two: If I have say November allocation and PCCB is approved, does it mean I am "locked in," i.e. Porsche factory would set aside a brake for this particular order so that even if supply disappears in the next few months, my order would still be "approved"?
Question Three: Would Porsche announce ahead of time to dealers when the PCCB will be available?
Sorry for the cross post in other forums and thanks in advance.

If it's like the short shifters you have to keep checking with Porsche via the dealerships computer, there was no announcement as one day they were suddenly available again. I would book myself a later (Sept-Oct) slot to assure the brakes, or find a car with them available now. Worst case, order your car without and retrofit.

True enough. I guess my point about the short shifters, PAG never announced their availability , you had to find out for yourself. Even my dealer had no idea about the shifters. So if it's a deal breaker, you're gonna have to stay on top of it.

I was at my dealer an hour ago. He said there is no shortage of PCCB for the '08 model, and would not comment on the '07. Because he doesn't know, or I don't have an order for one, ... hard to tell. He is not the type of guy to hide something if he knows it.

Terry,
Only when your salesperson enters the *actual* car order with PCCB will he find out that it's rejected. That's how everyone has found out; i.e. no body knew until the order with Porsche was placed. The rejection started around 4/11 and has not ended.

cannga, I am afraid you are probably right. He did not confirm that he had heard back from the Porsche order entry people on my specific order. But he did say that there is no shortage. We'll see how much he knows when he gets the order confirmation back.
