    Are Unsold Turbos In The Dealer's Lots?

    Sorry if this is a silly question.

    I'm wondering if there are, have been, will be unsold Turbos on any lots in the USA.

    What are the chances of finding one _soon_ after I want to "pull the trigger?"

    I'm toying with the idea of acting on impulse and trading my 997S in for a nearly-"perfectly"-optioned TT car.

    Just spoke to a friend of mine who drove a white/black TT at a dealer in Maryland (Bethseda area I think). Start making calls - I think you can definitely find some cars already on dealer lots. whether it's optioned how you like is an entirely different story.

    i bought my launch car 2mo. before introduction/delivery at msrp by checking out all inventory at dealer websites..im sure if you spend the time to do this you would have a good chance of finding a car with the color and most of the options you want....you wont regret it

    My dealer Neillo had 3 avalaible during last month. BLK/BLK , White/Beige, and Carmen red/BLK. I also had a chance to buy a GT3 this week but will wait for the TT cab which will be available in the middle of winter.

    Re: Are Unsold Turbos In The Dealer's Lots?

    Thank you all for your insights. I'm glad to find out there are cars around (quite unlike when I ordered my 997S). Gotta decide on this then take action by letting my very capable salesguy off his leash to find one. Good to know it can happen fairly soon.
