It's very difficult to buy from out of state. It has to be a dealer that wants to make the deal.
I believe it has something to do with the registration process. Leases from out of state are almost impossible
Yeah I ran into this same thing trying to buy from a CA dealer out of state a few years ago when I was looking at BMWs. The dealers I contacted flat-out refused.

Is this referencing in general or just not in person? I’ve bought out of state a number of times, but usually in person (only once over the phone).

On the phone especially when it comes to new car leases. Used cars there is no problem

I just took delivery of my 2021 4S two days ago. I live in Western Canada. The dealer in my city was so apathetic the salesman basically Googled "Porsche" and then showed me his screen. No negotiation & no "pitch" either. It was a very odd way to purchase a car.

In the end, I walked away from my local dealer quite disappointed. I did my own leg-work and purchased a 2021 4S from Toronto, about 2500km away. It was extremely close to what I wanted for a custom build, and the supply of Taycans was / is drying up here quickly. Models are being snapped up and supply is dwindling.

I didn't mind paying MSRP, the salespeople in Toronto were extremely pleasant and I got a great deal in shipping, didn't cost much to put it in a professional covered truck and in less than a week it was at my door. They gave me a 50% discount on the shipping, so you just gotta shrug at these things.

Like it was said earlier, supply & demand. Plus, in my area, many of the major brands (Chev / GM, Toyota, even Porsche) are all owned by the same conglomerate so the salespeople DON'T get commission or perks. It's a 9-5 hour$ job like the Costco. Explains the disinterest.

I feel quite lucky I was able to get my "almost" dream car so quickly. At the end of the day, it's just a great automobile and I drive around with a smile and a laugh all day. It's such a blast.

All the best to those of you who have ordered. Hope Porsche can keep churning these beauties out. :)

June 21st order. The dealer had the allocation, that’s why I went with them. Lock date was June 28. Track your dream says that it is scheduled to production this Friday July 16 and arrive in us September 3rd. I will believe it when I see it. I’ll keep you posted.

Interesting. I leased 2 vehicles in 2019 (BMW X5 and MB AMG E63) from dealers in CA. I am in AZ. Both had no issues with me being out of state and actually said they do multiple deals every month with customers from AZ.

For those that recently did a custom build were the dealers willing to negotiate % off MSRP or was it MSRP as the price? I am in between finding something on the lot a 2021 or just going custom. Right now not getting enough enticing deals to make the jump to something on the lot. So far only seeing 5% or so off MSRP for 2021 4S on the lot.
Not in the UK! No discounts on Porsches

After reaching our to a plethora of dealers, including Marin Porsche, just 20 minutes from where I live, I bought my Taycan at Burlingame Porsche. Initially, I negotiated a 5% discount, though I believe that they would have gone to 6% at the drop of a hat. I got another 2% discount after my car was delayed by 3 months. FYI: I did order my car last December and the climate for buying cars has changed considerably since then, as I'm sure you're aware.

Nevertheless, I suggest you talk directly with Craig Mucci, the VP or Sal Martin, the sales manager, both are great no BS gentlemen who'll treat you with respect and integrity. Cut to the chase and don't deal with an incentivized sales guy as they have zero interest in saving you money. That said, Sal did turn me over to a sles guy who was ultimately very helpful and communicative and my experience at Burlingame Porsche was superlative.
Thanks for the pointers. I'll give that a try.

I got $2,500 off on a CT4 order. Dealer was extremely reluctant to offer a discount on a CT4, but relented when I walked away. Not a great discount for a $115K car, but at least it's something.

Good to know. That's about what I've been expecting. I guess if you factor in the 7500 tax credit, you could look at it as $10k off (kind of).

Thanks. My Dealer also had an allocation when I ordered in April, and again my delivery is scheduled for September. Don't understand what happen to my order vs. yours from April to June?

The allocation was for July build. Maybe I was just lucky. All the other dealers had September or October build allocations.

I got a mere 1% from Champion in Fort Lauderdale. Total custom order, mamba green Taycan CT. I ordered in early May, the allocation 'closed' a week later, car is build and almost on the freighter, eta at dealership second week of August. I did not push them hard ; they gave me more in trade for my 2017 911 than I had paid for it 9 months ago, so I was quite happy.
