There's probably not many people left that really want the car that haven't gotten one yet, but they are out there, and they got screwed by the stealers, the flakes, and the flippers.

Just a FYI but Park Place here in Dallas also has used Carmine in. Pretty heavily optioned, PCCB, LWBs, and aftermarket bar/harness. It was a trade in on a 991 GT3RS.
No affiliation with the dealer although they treated me great on my recent GT4. Contact Christian Miller at Park Place Porsche in Dallas for details.

Seems that someone backed out of a build. I was able to get it changed to my specs.
...and yes, I called around to a ton of dealers.
When I finally asked why the dealer called me back first, he said "you sounded like a normal guy who would be easy to work with and I wanted to give an enthusiast a chance at getting a GT car."
I track my Audi S4 regually. This is my first Porsche. I keep telling everyone it's entry-level.

Not sure how your expierence correlates with not paying a premium? Hold out for MSRP and hope to be the first guy called back by a SA?

Laughing, the gods of Rennlist live in the 993 forum, where 6 years of membership and 3700 posts make one a new member and where the quarrel here would be considered a zephyr. The firestorms there rage across decades!! The one sure way to call down the furies is to cheat other Rennlisters!
Btw, that Carmine Red sure would look good against Oregon Green, wouldn't it?

I think this is one of the reasons dealers have held onto allocations and/or specced some themselves. They don't make enough money on stripper cars. When I was talking to my SA about taking their last allocation and he indicated that they could drop the markup a fair bit for me as a repeat customer, he wasn't excited to hear that I was planning a stripper build and I'm guessing that markup drop would have evaporated if I really wanted the car.

I think there's still plenty of us out here waiting to get a GT4 with an option package close to what we would have ordered at a price somewhere around MSRP.

Agreed. Put me on that list, too. I'm going to keep searching for one and hope for the best. If I come up empty-handed, I'll hope there is a 718 version, and then I'm sitting in a good spot on my dealer's list of people with deposits down.

I was polite to the SA and told him I'd track this car, not flip it or garage it. I showed him videos of my Audi at Road Atlanta and Barber. I built relationships with their staff at Atlanta's Caffeine and Octane. I also put their name down on a recent survey after renting a 911 from Porsche Drive Experience in Berlin.
All of this factors in and he said he just wanted someone normal to work with.
The planets aligned and I jumped on the chance without delay.

As you can see the CR GT4 has already been sold. Not to mention the used GT4 I posted about sold this morning as well. Seems well priced/spec cars within MSRP to even +10k seem to move in a matter of days. Sometime hours...

I had many leads since early this year but passed on them since LWBS were a must as well as a few other options I really wanted. When an editable order for msrp popped-up a few months ago I immediately jumped on it to take over with a deposit. If I didn't or waited even a few hours... I likely still wouldn't have one today to my liking.

Fail in multiple ways.
You spec'd a bloated car that most are not interested in
You thought you could make a quick lame buck by flipping a car
You screwed someone that can afford/want the car out of an allocation they could have built for themselves
You screwed the salesman out of a sale that might go to another salesman
Anyone still think deposits should be refundable after an allocation locks?
(Cue the obligatory sob story excuse/response)
