Made some calls this week and asked about the earliest possibility for a new 911 S including a Targa 4S - at this point why not go for the jugular. So as not to belabor an already exhausted topic - 2+ yrs out more likely 2 1/2 yrs and with Omicron and more shutdowns in Germany it will only continue to get worse. No one was able to get me a firm answer on anything - not that I expected one. So there you have it - they all tried to sell me a used 911 for $150-$170k ... or a $30/$40k premium over new. At least its not as insane as the watch market - been trying to secure a Rolex pepsi dial for my kid who graduates business school this year for the last 3 yrs - no luck getting one new but if I want to spend $30k for a $12k watch I can have one in the grey market used. Hence, the 911 market by comparison isn't so bad after all ... especially when you consider the base cost of a 911 vs a Rolex.
Interesting times ... will stick with my 987,2 CS for now and find something else I can obsess over until things change ...
My dealer told me 2023 last time I talked them a few months ago.
The supply disruptions are very real. We have had product on order more than a year which has yet to arrive. At a much higher price.
I'm getting set to receive a 992 C4GTS in the spring and I may just put a deposit down and wait for a 992.2 TTS; with the pre-owned market being the way it is, there is little downside.
Price elasticity is inelastic - put simply - at a certain point - whether you pay $5k / $10k or $20k more for a "new" Porsche it just doesn't matter ...
