Let us know when they say what dealer cost is. In the past, it seems the parts price for these things is enormous.

i'm also in NoVA and our dealer i know has received 3 allocations, i am #2 and i initially spec'd my build with LWB's but have been notified that the configurator kicks the build out with v100 when spec'd with LWB's so i've come to terms of getting the 18 ways, i know the #1 guy got his build to v200 with LWB's and a sept delivery, currently i have an 8/21 delivery with no lwb's. the #3 guy i believe also spec'd his car with lwb's but his also got kicked back to v100. although he has a later build i'm not sure how porsche is doing the lwb's it seems it's random as to which orders go v200 with lwb.

Still waiting for an allocation to be released from PCNA directly to the dealer.
Dealer has offered me a couple of allocations that they have traded/purchased from other dealers but those allocations require a markup to cover the cost of the trade/purchase.
Have chatted over the phone with Lisa over at the PCNA customer hotline, she has been cordial and understanding.
Talked to Mark at the PCNA hotline last week and he was a total joke saying really dumb things like getting a GT4 allocation is the 100K question that everyone is asking and such.
Seems like some smaller dealers have gotten allocations, but some larger dealers that usually get allocations for GT cars are getting very few or none so far.
Not sure if VAG gaining control over PAG has indirectly impacted how PCNA operates, but AFAIK it is alienating long time Porsche customers such as myself as well as SA's at various Porsche dealers.
