Do we know when dealers will start getting their 2023 allocations?

They would already have them for the first quarter and maybe the second quarter.

As I said, all the reports are suggesting the previous LED PDLS+ unit has now gone for good, and this new LED PDLS unit is exactly the same unit as the Xenon PDLS, just with a LED beam instead of Xenon beam, so it's the same four dot DRL on both now.

I guess we won't know for 100% until we've seen it though, there's still the possibility this new LED unit is a stripped version of the previous PDLS+ unit, time will tell.
Looks like we have our answer, the configurators have been updated with a picture showing it's a stripped version of the old LED PDLS+ unit...

Coincidently there's an Oak Green (with Sofas) currently for sale at OPC Solihull, there's also a well specced Rubystar car which was added yesterday at OPC South Lakes.
Rubystar sold last week £109.000
Newcastle have a Rubystar but also with sofas. Actually Newcastle had 3 GT4's in the showroom all with sofas. frown
Deposit was placed on the oak green one last week

Isn’t yours already on its way? At the bottom it says available from November production. May spec is just about to lock, so I’ve added these to my build now.

Presume it’s going to be November. It was at V170/180 for a while because of some of the options I selected.

My GT4 has been in production since 13/09 and still hasn’t left the factory. Not too sure if anyone else’s GT4 is the same?

At this rate, I think I’ll get the OPC to put a big bow on it for Christmas!

Are new allocations for GT4 still a thing? or would I be wasting my time speaking to my local dealer?

For context, Ive owned multiple Porsche's inc GT4,3 and RS but never bought one new from any dealer. Only history with OPC is servicing.

I tried several dealers a couple of months back and all said that they had no more allocations coming through because of the RS. I didn’t have any buying history with them so this might have been rubbish but I haven’t heard of anybody receiving a slot since. I ended up going used approved.

You can still build your own on the configurator on the Porsche website, but I very much doubt that you will be able to get a build slot. The cynic in me thinks that it is a good way for them to obtain your details and contact you to try and sell you one of the used models that they have in stock.

A friend got a PDK GT4 allocation from a non local OPC with zero buying history from them or any opc. He promptly flipped is so I guess that shows why they are reluctant to sell to an unknow.

The only reason I would go new is I would want PTS. If that wasnt available I would just buy used.

Im not scared of a used one, even with a few miles. I owned the 981 GT4 press car for a while and it was the most reliable porsche ive owned.

I suppose you can only ask. I managed to pick up a PTS GT4 cancelled order a month or so ago.

Good fortune I suppose and I have no Porsche buying history. I guess it was good timing and I'm helping them resell the car. If you don't enquire, you'll never know.

If you don’t ask….. etc etc. I had no previous relationship with the OPC who supplied my 718 GT4

Was this recently though? Other thing to consider is current wait times which seem to be >12 months for other models. Or maybe that’s just me trying to make myself feel better have gone used biggrin

If they are still building them it’s definitely possible, asked for a car November 2021, my new cars was delivered to my spec March 2022.

Pick up the phone and ask, don’t just try local phone around.
