My dealership has a gourmet restaurant . They have all types of pastries . I went there with a friend and we ate . He then bought pastries for his mother.

Love it and the pastries for his Mother!

They got tired of you stealing their food and getting you a car was the easiest solution. 😜

Exactly! I was about to bring the whole family for breakfast every morning!

You were born under a lucky star Bobby because I honestly think that the allocation process is beyond just deep pockets or even delicious donuts! It's a mystery, a lottery or...a miracle if you believe in divine intervention!

I agree. I was expecting at least a year wait, but I got "lucky" that it was only around 8 months from order to delivery. In hindsight, I would do it the same way because driving in my custom built 911 has been pure joy!

Looks like it was "Hello" and "Goodbye" from the "New Guy"! LOL! Evidently, he's not addicted to the Forum yet! 😅 Let's give him a chance....

Surprised you didn't also ask "why not manual"?!

That was the "french charm"! And he didn't say he wasn't

All the talk of doughnuts sent him into a diabetic coma OR he likes amber side marker lenses and feels like an outcast.......

So true, I still think I was the “greasy” wheel who made the most noise that received my allocation. I was certainly not their best or biggest customer but just enjoyed visiting the dealership and talking about Porsche. I would go visit your favorite or preferred Dealership, shake some hands, bring some donuts once in a while…it worked for me.

which dealerships did you ‘visit’? where did you ultimately get a car? Thanks.

I frequent Mechanicsburg Porsche. I’ve been a customer there for about 8 years now. I won’t go anywhere else. Here is my ride.

Welcome! Some great tips on the above posts. As mentioned, pre-owned prices are higher, but a great way to learn the market. Dealer relationships are key. Visit them all and find a good rep. Get to know the Sales Mgr. Donuts, beer or wine accordingly when you find the right one. Good Luck! The 992 is worth the wait.

Looks like your wife got the raw end of the deal here. Is that why she is walking away?! Haha.

Thats funny but she’s scared to drive it! She’s test driving a Macan this Friday though. She’s a hardcore Benz fan….loves her old GLK workhorse.
