Original delivery ETA was 7/27 though I am not sure if 8 days from ship arrival to full readiness at my dealer in Seattle is really possible.
well thats annoying lol. And with those dates it probably means mine wont hit Benicia till a day or so later which prob means delivery the week of the 23rd for me in July.

Looks like we have same dealer, mine is through them as well.

Just looked at some of your posts and noticed you have an Spyder RS coming in through them. Would love to see it when you get it. I'm on their list for a SRS but I think I may be too far down to get one before production ends next year.

What a small world. I'm in SoCal, so the Daisy Leader will stop and unload my BGTS in San Diego and hopefully drop off your car soon thereafter. Three weeks ago, I picked up a 2021 Rav4 Prime for my daughter from Porsche North Seattle and drove it down. Nice folks up there. Good luck on the wait!

If it arrives in August, I'll definitely take it to Exotics at Redmond Town Center. You'll see updates from me here so I can confirm which weekend that would be. I'll even give you a ride (keep in mind it'll still be during the break in period. I'm #1 on their list and only got that because I created the list by putting a $3k deposit down back in Oct 2021 when the SRS was just a rumor . Technically, this was before Porsche North Seattle existed as my reservation was at Porsche Bellingham, but it got transferred to North Seattle which is closer for me and works out better.

Looking forward to it. I used to go to E@RTC a good bit. When I had my Gallardo I also had done some of the meetups in Bellevue before E@RTC existed.

I had contacted Seattle North via their website and hadn't realized they were connected to Bellingham (I had bought my '14 Boxster S from Bellingham). I was on their list for a BGTS for a bit over a year before my name came up, and that was apparently due the person in front of me backing out when their spot came up. I feel fortunate to have had a '00 Boxster S when they first came out, then my '14 Boxster S, and now the last & greatest version in the '24 Boxster GTS. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone else backs of their SRS spot on the list.

This next ~month is going to go by slowly as I wait for it to arrive. We have such precious short summers here, hope we both get ours with plenty of summer left to enjoy them.

ok you are right - although it said Sept 1, I got an email a few days ago from PECLA and I just scheduled delivery for Aug 23, Friday PM!

I started with a 981 Cayman S order in 2014 (Porsche Bellevue). Then after my vehicle was already on a boat, the GTS was announced and I gave up a small discount to buy the 981 CGTS at MSRP (worth it to me). Then the 981 GT4 was announced and I couldn't get one, so I put down a deposit to be on the waiting list for the 718 GT4 (Porsche Bellingham, since Bellevue wanted ADM). Bought my wife a Macan GTS (she wanted an Audi Q5, so I took her to Porsche for a test drive and she was convinced). I traded in my GTS for the GT4. Wasn't interested in the GT4RS at the time (as I expected PDK and my Caymans have all been 6MT) since I didn't think they'd actually put the GT3 engine in and expected a slightly tuned 4.0 of the GT4 with more aero. Once it was official that the GT3 engine was in, I tried to get an allocation and, of course, not possible. So instead, put down a deposit for a Spyder RS. And here we are today waiting for another custom Porsche

Congrats on having a date set!

Is your car on the roro? Or still waiting at Emden?

My CGTS has been sitting at Emden since 6/3.Originally scheduled to leave port on 6/8. I must say, this entire process is exhausting...

That's the downside of TYD - just enough info to frustrate the crap out of you

mine also arrived in Emden on 6/3 but it just jumped on a ship 3 days ago. Based on its trajectory it looks like i may not receive my car till mid August which is a bit disappointing but oh well.
