I just ordered a 718 GTS 4.0 this morning. Don't have confirmation of dates yet; SA thinks freeze of early September and delivery in November, but I bet it will be December before I see it. I have to give them my 981S on Monday and will be Porscheless until then. I bought an existing car in 2016 so I haven't had the pleasure of the wait yet. Hope it isn't as interminable as Covid. For anyone that cares, build code is PMF3QZJ6.

Credit against the car. It some jurisdictions, including mine, a trade reduces the sales tax applied to the new car. This offsets to some degree the lower price paid by the dealer for your car as compared to what you might get in a private sale. In my case, I think I only lost a couple of $K, which to me was well worth it. Between tire kickers and Covid, selling a car didn't seem like much fun.

Must be same boat as you fellas above. 9/11 lock, V300 vehicle completion 10/2, arrives at dealer 12/4. Were you guys able to negotiate down from MSRP? I'm oscillating between Gentian Blue with black/chalk and White with black/Bordeaux.

Man, I’m wondering whether I should just bag the idea of ED and take the December delivery... although it’s not like I’d be driving in the winter much.

European delivery sounds wonderful except for COVID, which will likely be with us for a while yet.

I was able to negotiate a discount off of MSRP. I purchased from this dealer before and was able to get $1800 off of the $107K MSRP. That's about 1.7%... not much, but happy to take it.

My dad had a dark blue Aston Martin DB5 with a burgundy interior, except the dash, which was black. It was simply beautiful. I think Night Blue exterior with Bordeaux/Black interior would be the same. I know from first hand experience that the Bordeaux/Black interior is fabulous with the black exterior on my wife's and my 991.2 911 C2.

I was in a similar situation, they took my 15 981S in Feb and were going to put me in an older boxster for the interim and hold the balance so as to apply the tax savings to the GTS. Covid hit and no Boxster. Fast forward to May and they put me in a '06 997S Cab with a guaranteed buyback of the same amount in October. My 'rent' was I upgraded the stereo and put in a backup camera. I wasnt comfortable them holding onto nearly $60k Canadian with no Commission #. I just got that today with a freeze of October 8th. I assume that means it goes into production near the end of October right? How long from production to delivery is that? 6-8 weeks?

Am I a complete moron for wanting to trade in my 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage manual for one of these?
my vantage sounds absolutely incredible, is plenty fast for the street and my canyon cruises with friends, plus I'd save like 80k in the process by not buying one lol
but damn I just can't get over the idea of it, here's my build by the way http://www.porsche-code.com/PMYUIN93
