It’s not for me since I always stick to Carrara White. I just like to see how the PTS cars turn out.

But back to the lecture at hand...
Porsche of Silver Spring finally got back to me. They want a 5% deposit to hold my place on the waiting list. I politely declined. |

Out of curiousity did they also tell you that you'd be "number 2" on the waiting list? Seems to be a common thing for dealers who practice deposit farming

It is like the $1000 Rivian deposit, cash ain’t making anything currently so might was well put down a refundable deposit. Not sure if I will actually buy it

No idea. The other contact I had didn't ask for a deposit to get on the wait list, so that's the direction I went.

The several times I've put deposit money down on new cars in MD, the written agreements have noted the deposits as refundable and those that I cancelled were promptly refunded.

Did you have to give your spec, or did they just add your name to an allocation and you'll spec it when they give you a build window? Any info on their lead-time?
