I had to step away from the forums while I took care of some personal matters but am now back…since then the market has changed quite a bit!

how difficult is it to get an allocation from a dealer?

I had one dealer tell me that it’s impossible to get an allocation unless I want to pay a markup and especially if I don’t have a history of buying from that dealer

Don't know about other people/dealers, I can only share that I paid a deposit and joined a local dealer's waitlist for a CT 4 allocation in May and my position on the list hasn't moved at all after two months. Now did other people pay markups to cut in line? I have no idea.

Back in April, no other allocations were available at my local dealership except for RWD (at MSRP, no markup), which I took. The car completed production last week and is on its way to the port. See Timeline

I put a deposit down on a GTS ST in January 22, moved 0 positions in 6 months. Bought a CPO turbo and canceled my deposit. Hope it improves for others!

After doing some more research and talking to a bunch of dealers I can share the following: dealers are waiting for allocations and creating wait lists to get allocations. They have no idea when they’ll get allocations and are telling me you can expect a car to be delivered in 12-18 months … depending on which one you order.

In the meantime, while I wait for an allocation I might just stick with my f80 m3 or wait for my i4 m50 to be delivered shortly (could be a couple months).

I would see if any dealers have any incoming one that are pre build. I know it wouldn’t be exactly how you like it but i don’t think I would have patience waiting for so long

My dealer just got their first allocation for GTS ST for a Nov/Dec build. I heard other dealers are also getting allocations but only 1 or 2 per dealer for ST.

I have a '23 GTS ST on track for Sep delivery. I called up my local dealer back in December and requested to be put on the list. Mind you, this will be my first Porsche ever and first time interacting with this dealer. They were completely straightforward and told me the expected ADM (which was very reasonable for an allocation this rare). They told me that I was first on the list and I got a call 4 months later that they had received their only allocation for 2022 for a 2023 GTS ST and it was mine.

A Lot has changed since December. there are no longer 2022 Allocations and many dealers have zero new cars on their lots.
