With the current financial climate and people tightening their belts, is there any way of finding cancelled orders before they hit the OPC website?

My initial thoughts would that each OPC would only have cancelled cars from their showroom/dealership. Will this mean I have to contact every OPC and register my details to get the car I want?

My reasoning is that I want a high spec'd GTS with aero kit. However, the ones coming up at the moment are 'poorly' (if there is such a thing with Porsche) spec'd.

Oh, and I don't want to wait 12 months for a car as I am the worlds most impatient car shopper, hence not placing a new order.

The only way I can think of is to phone a bunch of dealers regularly, making it clear that you're serious and will immediately buy a car that becomes available with the spec you want and that you won't try completely low balling them re the price

Already on my list.

I guess I'm being picky as I'd like Front Axle lift (loads of speed bumps where I live), rear steering and Burmeister.

Not picky, you want what you want, which is fair enough. Whether you'll get it all a car that you dont spec yourself is another matter!

Yes please! Does it have the aero kit? That's a must for me!

I managed to get a cancelled slot/order, purely through luck, a friend was collecting his car from the OPC and I told him to ask if they had any build slots available on short notice, had about a week to get my spec into them by end of May, for delivery within the next couple of weeks Turbo S Cab.

Not brand new, but a huge number of 992 GTS on OPC website with effectively delivery miles…
