- '22 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, '06 Club Coupe (#48)
It is definitely both model and dealer dependent. Some dealers get more allocations.
I told my dealer in November that I wanted a 4S CT. I believe it was January or February when they got an allocation. I promptly placed order. Car made in May and delivered in June.
I have bought various Porsches from 2 of the 3 local dealers. One dealer insisted that I put down a $35K deposit for a car that would not be delivered for at least 9 months. I asked why when they know me and know that I will follow-through. They told me that it was because my spec was so "unusual" I told them that I would rather walk than let them have 35k for the privilege of waiting for some unknown amount of time months in the future. This was the same dealer who wanted me to put down a 10K non-refundable deposit for a Taycan when it was so new that they didn't have any specifications or even know the price. I mean, good God, with Porsche, hard to know either Taycan would have been 50K, 100K, 150K, 250K, 500K or 1M . . . at some prices and specifications I would be interested, but at others I would not.
I went to other dealer, they asked for small deposit and then never even ran my card to take it, and now I have my Taycan.
I know from whom I'll buy my next Porsche . . .
Good luck.
