Hmm, sounds like your dealer is playing games with you. In the Bay Area there are several very good dealers. A typical order takes about 5 months. This "allocation" story is BS. The deposit you gave the dealer for your order is completely refundable. I would get my money back and go to a better dealer. If you'd like I can send you a PM of where I bought my car, they were great to me. I did a factory order and it was worth the wait. Also you may want to check www.babblers.org it is a Boxster board that is based in the Bay Area.
