Cayman 718 Delivery dates
Discussion
Looks like the S build slots are very hard to come by. Guess this is either down to Porsche underestimating the demand and gearing engine production around the base model or build slots being diverted into more profitable markets in other countries.
I put deposit down in May for 718S and was told at that time it would probably be Oct/Nov. When I contacted dealer in September they then indicated an early 2017 delivery but that this was not definite. Subsequently received a call to say that a customer had deferred their order to next year so I was pushed up the queue to an early December delivery.
Although not an ideal date in terms of season and registration date I am glad that it will be this year as I don't want to end up getting caught up in the April tax hike and possible price increases.

Contacted dealer on Thursday for update on Cayman S order it now turns out car due in to dealer next week. Was advised by salesman on lockdown that 'nothing happens until delivery in first week of December and dates only vary by a couple of days'. Although this is good news I wonder why salesman is so poor at communicating as car must have been in production and in transit to U.K. Last week and they can access this information from the factory. Is this lack of communication normal or is it down to the sales guy?
For information the deposit was paid May 3rd, lock down September 30th.
