While our taxes are crazy here in the USA - don't forget, other countries get CRUSHED. You don't even want to know what happens down in Australia.....

ohh in a way I think that kind of sucks that AGM is still available and there is no brown shade at all to go with it anymore. I'm so glad I was able to get cognac/espresso.

Nobody likes a braggard


and damn, that cognac would have been so perfect with Gentian Blue...

I think had that been available i might have been ok not having any Racetex, but as is i'm happy with my choice.

Cognac/expresso is such a beautiful combo. I may have missed it -- do we know why it was discontinued?

I have Espresso full leather in my 981S and get constant compliments on it. I would order it again if it was available...

Truffle brown was the color I wanted. Not sure if it's because they switched manufacturing plants for Cayman. Still offered for 911.

What's the typical LCT and is it only the first owner that pays it or subsequent owners too?

In Canada - especially Quebec we are also heavily taxed on personal income tax. The highest bracket is almost 54%. Also on top of the luxury tax we also pay 15% sales tax.

For Australia, I know their prices (used) are crazy - well New is crazy too. I seem to remember their delivery price was also crazy. But I only know tis cause when I travel there, I like to go visit dealers. Also 99% of their cars are automatic. #GoUSA

Ordered my car October 26th, 2023, and picked it up today! I feel extremely fortunate for the timeline on my car and couldn't be more in love with it. Drove it straight to a close friends PPF and Detail shop, but can't wait to drive it for real. The break in period is going to be painful! Video is 480p so it would upload. Hope everyone has a good experience ordering and receiving their dream cars!

its 20% of the amount over 100k, and then that is added to total and you pay 13% tax on the whole thing. It’s insane. Only for new cars and first registered owner

In Canada only the first owner pays the luxury tax as it is on a 'new' car.

Actually it depends: For vehicles and aircraft priced over $100,000, at the lesser of 10 percent of the total price of the vehicle or aircraft and 20 percent of the total price above $100,000.

I had a nice, long story typed up, but the post didn't go through unfortunately, so I will make a cliff note version!

After driving the Cayman GTS at PEC Atlanta, I was sold on the car, it far exceeded my expectations! First time driving a Porsche, the only other sports cars that I have driven were BMWs and a Camaro, this car really was everything that I had hoped for from a mid engine chassis! I was surprised that I did not really care for the rear engine Carerra S after driving it at PEC, and I am glad that I decided to take a look at the Cayman.

After a follow up call, I got lucky that 3 people in front of me at my local dealer did not want the allocation that they were waiting for, so it fell to me!

The only option that I wish they had was ventilated CF bucket seats, but I will just deal with the back sweat as it comes!

My build is a stripper spec build that would have been more suitable for a GT4, planning to drive the car primarily on back roads and at the racetrack/Autocross

Hi folks, I just got on the waiting list to receive a Boxster GTS allocation. I was pleasantly surprised this week to learn that the long backlogs that existed in 2021/2022 have evaporated.

I'm told it may take 3 to 6 months for my allocation to be released to the dealership. Could anyone tell me when the model year typically transitions (e.g., MY 2024 to MY 2025)? The reason I'm asking is that Aventurine Green is the only color I'm really interested in. With that option having been recently discontinued for the 992 models, I'm hoping it'll still be around by the time my Boxster build is locked. I recognize that Porsche is pretty random about how it takes things away, but I suspect there's more risk of color palette changes coinciding with the transition to a new model year. If the 2025 model year doesn't begin until, say Jan 2025, I feel like there should be a decent likelihood that I can still get my preferred color choice.

May or June for 25' if I am not mistaken.
