I am new to this forum. I have been looking to buy my first 911 the last couple of months. I have talked to 6 dealers here in Southern California over the last few weeks and all want a $20K premium over MSRP to place an order on an allocation for approx March 2022 delivery. Is this the norm in other areas of the country? Of course no one has any new 911's in stock and haven't for quite some time. I am not in a rush and would prefer to order anyway and get exactly what I want.
I happened to visit a dealership yesterday that I hadn't contacted before to look at a 2018 with low miles. I was considering this car as no way was I going to pay a $20K premium. When I asked about the premium they told me they had been charging a premium for in stock cars (all gone), but are not charging any premium for the allotment/allocation orders. I was thrilled. I can order a car exactly how I want it, 4 years newer (and with an obviously nicer body style), and pay only roughly $10K more than they wanted for the pre-owned 2018. I don't want to mention the dealership yet, but will after I go back this week and confirm my build with a deposit for March 2022 delivery. I plan to taking delivery at Los Angeles PEC as I have heard it is definitely worth it.
What fun it is to play with the Porsche builder. It is amazing what you can do to these cars. I don't even want to bother with all the interior finish configurations as it makes my head spin. I would be interested to hear from members/owners on what they think are some "must have" or "highly desirable" options. I would like to be at around $120K. Initially I was thinking the chrono package was just to "time your laps" but I just read an article that explains it is much more than that, and definitely worth the money. I'm also a little confused as to the difference between the power seat options (14 way vs 18 way?) help on this would be appreciated.
Tentative Build on 992 911 Carrera

Standard interior black
Premium Package
Under door puddle lights
PDK
20"/21" Carrera S wheels (painted high gloss black)

Sorry to be so long winded on my first post, but these cars are just so fun to look at talk about, and of course drive!
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Be safe.
