Out of 718, the dealership know me, have bought from them
previous so is disappointing. Yes discount or dealer contribution whatever you want to call it.
Wife getting fed up of me being chauffeured every where - need car, I was led to believe
October / November delivery - should have asked which year
Audi RS3 Test drive at the weekend.
It's depressing.

I'm in much the same boat, and I put in my order a month before you, on 17th of June.

Not a peep from OPC here, and two chases so far. Wondering if at this point it's worth cancelling my order and phoning other dealerships around the country for available slots.

That's disappointing.

I too have heard nothing since a late June deposit. Like you we are previous customers of the dealership (my wife bought a Cayenne SD there 18 months ago), and I have had many cars from Porsche.

I'll be giving it a push myself shortly.

I have ordered a 718 Cayman today. Suggested that delivery will be March/April.
So, four pot turbo here I come! Traded my 981 Cayman so guess the N/A fans will think me crazy.

7184c............@ mid-sussex yesterday & confirmed my spec for 718 Cayman, if not std spec ie anything custom + 80 days, also colour coded side air intakes painted subject to delay, mine should be Jan/Feb.

Don't forget new road tax rates come into force on 1st April. Worth pushing to get car delivered before then.

Email back from my OPC this morning.

My 718 CS is in the queue to build this quarter, so hopefully still a 2016 delivery. He's investigating allocation a bit further and will hopefully give me more details on monday.

Deposit paid and order placed on 17th June.

I put my deposit down at the start of September and haven't heard anything since ( not that i was expectjng to).

I stressed importance of beating the tax rise in April which OPC seemed relaxed enough about.

Sort of related - does anyone have much idea of when the PEC invite usually comes through having dropped a deposit down? Do you only get the invite once your order has formally gone in to the build slot?

Not sure there is direct link between build slot and invite.

Paid my deposit 3rd July. Nudged my OPC 22nd August for news. They replied all was good and announced 18th November delivery (seems they'd been aware of this for a while). My PEC invite email landed the following day.

Looking to jump ship now - no lock down of options - no delivery date in sight
but probably be next year now so looking to bale out.
Shame as well as I managed a discount.
Did you pull out? I may be interested as I have to wait till april/may so yours must be before then?

Sorry to hear that edo, and hope you find something you love a little quicker than end of January. I think I'm in a similar position to the one you were in, but don't mind hanging on in and making sure I don't have to consider any finance.

Didn't order mine from Portsmouth, so my queue position will be unchanged. frown
