Re: Tesla
Buddy you aren't reading what I wrote again.
I read Mike's reply, makes perfect sense if one is only looking for cars from their own local dealer. But it doesn't for the USA. in your country there is no restriction saying you can only buy cars from your home state, you can always call upset a dealer in Maine or Wyoming or whatever and look for cars. Last I check, there are 189 Porsche dealers in the USA, so what if that one local dealer you are hell bend on sourcing a car from won't give you? There are another 188 dealers that you can call and check. if there is a will there is a way. Not all 189 dealers are going to sell out their allocations right away, if you call early enough, you can secure yourself a car, before someone else called and took that spot. That's how those people on Rennlist get their dream cars, they put in the effort to call around, early.
The situation with the 935 is very much different than your situation. You can source a car from 189 different dealers, the 935 only sells through ONE. Porsche Motorsport.
And the part about you being a lifelong customer. Customer of what, and from whom?
You aren't a customer of Porsche, you are a customer of your dealer. Dealers are the customers of Porsche as they buy cars direct from Porsche and then sell them to you. if you Arne't buying cars from your dealer you aren't their customers.
If you mean about servicing your cars with the same dealer for a long time, then again, how often do you visit them and pay them for service? After deducting operating costs, the dealer aren't making much off you, and in the business sense, you aren't a great client that deserves to jump the order queue. Another guy that buys a new car or used car off the floor is going to give the dealer a bigger profit in that one transaction than all the years you been paying them for service. Not to mention, purchasing a new car from the dealership means helping to fulfill their quota with Porsche, and if they hit their sales target, they get more allocations for harder to find cars.
You have to be realistic about your situation. If you aren't helping them get more cars, why should they let you buy one of the harder to locate cars?
