There are allocations out there
I had a private party sale lined up as of Sunday, and was trying to get back to the seller with a deposit the last two days but have been busy at work. Based on the posts here today about possible allocations showing up, I took my lunch break and cold called 13 dealers in the Midwest and one in Pennsylvania.
I found two in the Chicago area with spots, one of which I snapped up! The other one is available at Napleton Porsche at $10k over MSRP if anyone wants to call. My dealer does not charge over sticker thankfully.
There may also be one available at Bucks County Porsche in Pennsylvania. I've been playing phone tag with the sales guy and haven't confirmed, but it's at least a lead.
My thanks to the forum for saving me some $$$, which will in turn let me build the car the way I want. And if the lead above help someone out, that would be great. LMK if something works out.

I took the spot at Napleton in Chicago area. After calling and/or e-mailing 10 dealers, none had an allocation other than at $15K over or more. Kudos to those that found spots at MSRP!

Nah, being on the GT4 forum makes it feel that way; it's a psychological principle called the availability heuristic. Basically if you see a lot of examples of something around you, your belief about how prevalent that thing is in the world at large becomes skewed.

Not in Utah. Im currently like #7 with my deposit at one dealership and #10ish at the other without a deposit. Boise isnt even adding me to their list because its so deep and LV is quite long as well.
I guess if you want to spend $10k above MSRP there are some available. For those waiting at MSRP its not that easy.

I traded my 2013 991 CS in for a February build. The dealer asked if he could have my 991 now. I asked him what he would do for me for giving him the car early and he said, I am giving you the car for MSRP. I didn't argue about that.

I really despise Porsche dealerships that would take advantage and charge over MSRP.

I got on my midwest dealer's list in April and only got the call at the end of Oct for an allocation so I'm sure their list is fairly long (they are a high volume premier dealer too) but they sell all their GT cars at MSRP.
