You can always place an order with a dealer however it’s relative to wether the dealer has an allocation if your order will ever get scheduled for production. Most dealers have long waiting lists for the R still with ADM’s. Placing an order now will also most likely get pushed to a MY24 which would push you into a late 23 build date and early 24 delivery date at best.
To be 100% honest with you, the only way you would be able to get a summer delivery date is if you purchase a R that has already been built and delivered to either a dealer or private party and you will be paying an ADM, you will not find one at MSRP in 2023.
My experience with my dealer was great, I placed three orders back in July of 22 when order banks opened, all three of my orders were at a 20k ADM.
The R I have now was built last December and delivered to me back in January. One of the other two was scheduled for production last month, but got pushed to a May build date, and the other is awaiting an allocation, which will most likely get pushed to a MY24. I’m hoping they bring back the SCAB, (there’s been chatter) for I will change my order if that happens.
The dealer I went with has a long line of people which is like most dealers, so even if you place an order now you most likely won’t even get an allocation for a MY24 without agreeing to pay a hearty ADM. Good luck with your search.
