Find a 230 on a dealer lot to test drive to make sure you like the car. Assuming you do, I’d email some dealers asking about allocations and pricing. Then just go from there. Some will respond, some won’t. Just the way it works.
It’s a new car that you built, so buying it sight unseen isn’t going to be a big issue. I could see that with a used car.

I’ve never used a broker. I know for a fee, you can usually get an allocation pretty quickly but the dealer can be anywhere in the country, correct? Are you able to negotiate a price or is the price fixed or is there a standard discount based on the broker-dealer relationship? If the dealer is not local, do you or the dealer make the transportation arrangements? My biggest issue is not seeing the car in person until after you’re the owner!
