My first Porsche was the 981 Spyder. Yes I love the car. It's an amazing machine. Since my time in the Porsche world I have noticed that the Porsche owners are their own worst enemies. Many are well heeled many are not. But all of us are enthusiasts. But there's a fine line between 'fanatical enthusiasm' and 'enthusiasm'. I fall in the latter. No way would I pay 300k 400k million or whatever for a 911R even if I had the money. I think this thread is a symptom of what I am talking about. Dealer markups etc etc all this happens because we are so over enthusiastic about the upcoming product. Perhaps if we took a chill pill then that situation would disappear and people could buy the cars at a decent price and not worry about dealers and price gouging and all that. Maybe I am naive and this is just the way of the world. Good thing is there are other as good if not better alternatives instead of the 718 GT4/Spyder!!!

Pretty slim pickings. Maybe mid-engine Vette coming next year, if they don't kill the Manual...

So, perhaps I am a little anxious. I know that the car isn't announced and that no dealer has an allocation to sell yet. But, we also know that the car is imminent and dealers are taking deposits and keeping lists of interested parties. I have been in discussions with dealers on securing an allocation.(again knowing full well they don't yet have one to sell). I would like to know what other rennlisters are seeing in their market. Yes, the title is perhaps a misnomer as there are no available positions yet, but I was looking to the future.
P.S. I've been quoted $30K ADM by a dealer willing to commit one of his "early positions". I'm going to keep looking. I think I've got a different dealer willing to make a deal at MSRP with a predetermined trade in on my 981 GT4. Obviously the devil is in the details of what that value is, and I'm sure it will sting a bit.

I played this game for 6 years now. Unless you are spending $1MM plus with a dealer, I'd get this in writing that you have a guaranteed allocation with your name on it before counting any chickens. I've been promised a 991.2 GT3 now by two texas dealers in Dallas and Houston that have pulled my "allocation" at the last minute to get an ADM from someone else. Only to see a flurry of people flipping them for higher than ADM in the FS forum.
