No one knows. The reality is, you put your money down as a first time new p-car buyer and hope that they come through. You have little buying power should a more established customer or one with deeper pockets comes along. This is a crappy time to buy a new Porsche. Hopefully, the tightening economic situation will turn things around. You need to walk into a few dealerships and speak with them. You will quickly see what we are talking about. Don't expect to be catered to unless you are buying a bloated spec. I like my cars stripped with very few options and I was told that they wouldn't order a car like that. Most dealers are looking for $10k - $20k in options on a basic 911.

 

Not correct. PCNT is the only Porsche Canada corporate store in the GTA and I'd assume Canada overall. The rest are independently owned dealerships.

From my experience I'd say Downtown likely does less volume than PCNT as well but not certain. Either way, based on what was shared above if you are looking to accelerate your timeline and go somewhere like Pfaff expect to pay a heavy premium and not guarantee getting a car any sooner than elsewhere.

For any new Porsche sports car you should expect to be waiting... anywhere from 6 months at bare minimum to more likely 1-2 years depending on the model. If timing is critical suggest you look at CPO options.

 

thank you for the advice. I guess i will go with PCNT. I do not mind to wait since i already have two cars i can use. It is more of wanting a brand new 911 to celebrate milestone in life with wife. I just want to put down one deposit to the store that can give me the fastest deliery instead allowing store to make interest on my deposit.

 

I get it but you are kind of saying two different things here... you're ok to wait but you also want the fastest delivery. The deposit will be maybe $3-5k so I don't think any interest is material. Waiting is part of the game when it comes to new 911 allocations so you either are ok with it or you find something else.

I also don't think there is any harm in having a conversation with multiple dealerships on your requested build to see what their allocation timeline looks like and if they have a mandatory requirement for options (both on the build and dealer installed). Perhaps you'll be surprised but I doubt it. What I can confirm is PCNT is absolutely zero BS and no games... so far in my experience they have under promised + over delivered on allocation timelines but things are likely different for someone new to the brand with no existing relationship.

Good luck either way!

 

i don't mind the wait, but i still have to just make one deposit to a store that give me best chance of getting car earlier.

 

There is no certain way to do this but if you can develop a relationship with a rep by dropping by now and then you might get a bit more acceleration. The reality is that there is more demand than supply for 911s (not true of all Porsches...Taycans are easy to get for instance). However Canada is a small market and the way Porsche AG sees it they will try to maximize margin by selling into the highest margin markets like China for instance. As Vise mentioned PCNT and Downtown ( who I deal with) are worth a look. Best of luck with your search!
