Just spoke to the sales manager and he said they really have had no allocations. There is one Boxster customer ahead of me and he went into their system 4 months before me. He speculated that Porsche seems more interested in 911s. He joked that if Porsche doesn't want to build these cars they should stop offering them.

He said I could have a refund anytime I want.

Feeling much better. Salesmen, please keep your customers in the loop!

 

call around. Had a deposit downtown in 2017, got tired of waiting for an allocation, ended up getting one at Porsche Center Winnipeg. Saved at least 9 months.

 

I agree with you. I like Rolex watches, but I’m not kissing anyone’s *** to buy one...guess I’m not buying another. I like GT4’s, but even if I kiss someone’s ***, being a 2 time new Macan S buyer isn’t going to get me there...guess I’m not buying a GT4. I like C8 Corvettes. Called a dealer that I’ve never spoken to on the recommendation of a friend...treated like a King and should have one this Summer.

 

C8 is great bang for the buck. I'm going to McLaren tomorrow to see the Artura they have there.

 

I was up at Pfaff McLaren last week looking at a 993 and they were moving a couple of McLaren’s around the lot. Damn those cars sound amazing! My daughter said, “why don’t you buy one of those Dad?”. “Maybe one day, sweetie” 😀

 

I also gave up on Porsches BS, there's no clarity to the process and they will sell whatever they make so why do they care! Used cars are selling for close to msrp; there's just too much money out there. Same as the housing market

Even if you want to drop $200k you're made to feel like its an honour to be allowed to

Anyways prob buying a C7 Z51 this week. Never really considered a Vette but will give it a try. Half the price, 2x the performance!! Maybe it will drive me back to a 911

 

I sold some parts to a guy in the fall and he showed up in a C7 convertible. Really nice car. If you haven’t seen a C8 in the flesh they really are pretty nice. My dealer could likely have one for you in the fall.

 

Have a deposit on a C8 Z06 since last August...sounds like the car will be fantastic. 5.5L V8 NA! Carbon wheels, magnaride. Beast on track. Will see if this process is better than with Porsche.

 

Nice!

 

I didn't end up connecting today. But will ask when I do. Likely Monday.

 

I want a manual so went with the C7. Dont like all the body panels on a Z06 or ZR1 so got a Z51 pack. Love the colour

 

Looks awesome!

 

Cheers! Elkhart Lake Blue whatever the hell that means. Not my exact car as I have the coupe with the removable roof and black rims but u get the idea

 

Congrats, post up pics when you get it.

 

Looks great!
