At least 2 weeks starting March 21.

I get the reason but damn, this will slow down production upon return as they also cited their global supply chain being impacted.

The way things are going, I’d say 2 weeks is optimistic.

RyuBraska

Not unexpected but still disappointing... Mine was supposed to enter production on Friday...

dmk2

two weeks is very optimistic

SToronto

regardless of what it is, I'd imagine the impact will last more than the shut down period. If my car shows a Aug onwards delivery as a result I will probably cancel.

My spyder delivery date was schedule for early June. ,I will cancel if it’s august onward as well.

SToronto

Yeah, for this car no point paying to store it from Oct-April. I stored took delivery Nov 30 on my GT3, but that's a different beast and was worth it.

Mine was to be at the dealer June 5. Going to ask for a timeline screen shot in a couple weeks.

Only saving grace is that Porsche is in it to make money, so no doubt they should be lining things up best they can to start production asap and maybe overtime (if their works councils allow such a thing) to make up for lost time. Hoping their suppliers aren't majorly impacted and can ramp back up quickly. They called out supplier shortages in the press release though.

RyuBraska

Same... Assuming we can cancel?

I didn't have a production date yet but with the 30% devaluation of my currency (I ordered my car in my home country in Europe but get paid in Rubles in Russia) I'm looking to push it as far into the future as possible. Spring '21 would probably be good

mine was June 5th as well from pfaff porsche.

Mine went into production on 3/6, so is halfway through. I'm fine with them shutting down to help keep the workers safe and hopefully limit the spread of this. It's only a car and it will be delivered at some point, plus I get to keep my Boxster through spring!

My only concern is that nobody seems to know what the exit conditions are for these shutdowns and therefore how long it will last. Just because the rate of infections goes down from everyone staying home, doesn't mean it's gone away.

My bigger concern is what will the economy look like by this fall. If the market drops another 8000 points it’s going to be very hard to justify this purchase.

Westcoast

Hmmm, I was not aware that a purchase like this is justifiable at anytime?

jayson

Hah, it's not. But riding the market back up is a much more attractive option.

Westcoast

For sure, I am definitely not a market player, and rarely have I timed anything right!

Even now it is a struggle to think of throwing additional funds in during the down-turn to be positioned for the eventual recovery.
