997 Turbo Delivery Times

[JKBELISE]

Can anyone give me a sensible answer as to delivery times? I have been told everything from a few months to three years.

18 months, as far as I understand, if you order today.

OPCs are generally quite good at quoting realistic delivery times - unlike the likes of Aston Martin. Experience has taught me that if anything, they will be slightly pessimistic and surprise you at the last minute by making you scrabble the cash together sooner than expected.

2 weeks ago Porsche Aberdeen told me October 2007 for the 997 Turbo.

OPC Chiswick also quoted Oct 2007. Already seen a few driving around London.. Not sure about the wheels otherwise looks great.

That will be based on their current allocation/orders/letters of intent.

In practice, people drop out and allocations get increased so the actual wait is usually a lot shorter.

A friend of mine just had his delivered late last week. It looks really awesome in GT Silver/Black interior. Much better than the Cobalt and Basalt Black cars that I had already seen.

Here's a pic..

Gorgeous but the wheels are just wrong... When I get mine (in about 2050 at this rate..!!) it would definitely have to have some aftermarket boots..

Surely there are some other wheel options from new? Although, it's probably best to order with standard wheels and sell them immediately as "new" wheels to pay for a different set. Choosing another wheel option is expensive, since you don't get the originals back.

The wheels actually seemed to suit it in GT Silver since the dark/light shading of the spokes complemented the contrast between dark interior/lighter exterior. But on Cobolt Blue they did indeed look garish IMHO.

Looks fantastic in that colour. That's exactly what I would order if I had the chance
