Really not fair, mines put back 3 weeks and yours is pulled forward 3 weeks!

Love the balls on the person who ordered the mint green, neatly went for it myself.
Just been told that having previously brought my delivery date forwards a couple of weeks, it’s now slipped back to the end of April!
There certainly seems to be quite a lot of change going in at Zuffenhausen!

Happy days for me, well sort of.

My Targa has gone through pdi today, now just the long wait for the detailers to pick it and then drop it back to the dealers.

Having the bank holiday is adding 2 extra days until I can collect the car crycry

After I posted about getting a 3 week delay, got a call a few days later and the car had arrived, dealer had no idea it was on the transporter, so Porsche don’t seem to know whether they are coming or going at the moment.

If you’re taking finance, apparently the apr goes up in April, which would be annoying.

Cars turning up OPC’s aren’t expecting seems to happen with alarming regularity....Christ knows what goes on!

Hi All - bit late to the party but just put a deposit for a Targa GTS over the weekend - OPC have advised delivery in September.

I'm torn whether to keep this slot, or hold out for just a few more months for a 992 S.

Mine Graphite blue is up with JZM if anyone is interested, only going to make way for the .2GT3-RS

This is a genuine question, is that over the list price you paid for the GTS? Surely not every 911 model commands an overs premium does it?

I would expect that with options it was more than £119k when originally purchased. Its quite easy to do when you look at the options prices.

I know what the temptation is like to tick the boxes!

Presumably you thought you had no chance of getting a GT3 so went with this? Otherwise its an expensive change of mind having done basically no miles!

The GTS is stunning by the way! Lovely colour!

My GTS is on the boat today from Emden so should be at the dealers later next week with a delivery soon after, starting to get mildly excited 😊

Yes SOR

Like I said, I had spec’d Th car for it to be a keeper however, I was called by my OPC to be asked if I’d like either a GT3 or GT3-RS, having previously owned a PTS .1 GT3 and .1RS, my OPC knew I was a Trackday nut so knew that I would be no flipper, so I’m now having to part with the the GTS solely because Porsche have decided to push the .2RS delivery’s to April! I’m no collector so GTS has to go :-((

Such a seriously awesome spec’d Car that I’d love to also keep alongside the RS, but needs must

Other than just asking your OPC, is there a way to track the cars route from factory to OPC? It seems there are quite a few people who say their car is at the docks, or on a ship etc - how?

Download the free VesselFinder app. Search Malacca Highway. Sails every 3 days or so Emden to Sheerness. OPC can say when your car is at Emden. My last couple of cars were on the second sailing after being told they were at Emden.
