Mine was 1/23 then 3/13 and today 3/20.

Mine was originally going to miss the cutoff for buckets with a completion date of 10/31. Asked if they could arrange for buckets and looks like there was only a slight push. Vehicle completed production yesterday (11/4) and is trending to the first week of Jan for delivery.

so glad I gave in that 14.

As of now I am not delayed
I'm in upstate NY. If my car got pushed back, no biggy. JAN and Feb are not exactly GT3 driving conditions up here and I imagine downstate where you are.

So much for the buckets being a rare option affecting 991 GT3 value.

my build date is also 11/21, so we're in the same boat. Can't wait!

My dealer spoke with his Porsche rep and she said some cars are affected and some not. I am supposedly in the some not crowd. His system was down and will regenerate an up to date tracking sheet soon.

as _BrakeDust_ posted, there will likely be less than 20%; I believe less than 15%. Maybe 125-150 cars with buckets. Then consider how many of those will ever be for sale and/or favorably optioned. Yeah, buckets will be a very rare and desirable item.

And that will work very well for resale to a group that wants those seats. The same will be true on the other side of the coin. Maybe more people won't want them. And that is what the Classifieds are for.
