So, technically he will get his deposit back which I’m assuming is 10% of the total price and a $10k bonus from the new buyer? Am I reading that right?

Under California Code, Vehicle Code - VEH 11736
It is unlawful for any dealer licensed under this article to do any of the following when brokering a retail sale:
(c) Fail to refund any purchase money, including purchase deposits, upon demand by a consumer at any time prior to the consumer's signing of a vehicle purchase agreement with a selling dealer and taking delivery of the vehicle described in the brokering agreement.

as a dealer in california, I have to refund deposits if people back out.

I would have appreciated if the OP said "I want 10k or a no date Submariner" for this GTS

Do you not let people do terrible, high dollar specs, unless you know they are truly good for it?

You're just talking in circles. You should reread the ad.

Reselling a new car like this in CA is known to cause cancer. Proceed at your own risk.

This is precisely what is wrong with the Porsche "market" as it applies to life long enthusiasts of the brand. I've been waiting for my deposit to turn into an allocation for 16 months now. And there's people taking allocations and speccing cars knowing full well they won't be taking the car. To me, it's souring things significantly.

I was offered a 911 GTS allocation a few months ago and refused it. I didn't think they were that hard to get

Of course. Lots of time required for the super unique vanilla spec of silver on grey with PDK.

I know, right. You can tell it was only a money-grab when he discussed with the SA how to spec an-easy-to-sell car.

I don't let people who turn in bad specs get allocations, as a general rule. I did threaten a sales manager that he would have to buy the Lava Orange Cayenne Coupe with truffle/cohiba interior and orange wheels if the client backed out.
