Default WHEN WILL MY CAR ARRIVE

Well the dealer flatbedded my Orange '08 away (in trade)this morning. I've had her since new, Spring of '08, and it's a sad day, I must say. I'm without a Porsche for the 1st time since 1998. The good news, my white MY'15 GT3 goes into production on or about Sept 1. My question to those of you with first hand experience is if the car spends 2 weeks in production when will I see her here at the dealer in New York?

Commiserations on the orange '08, congratulations on the replacement GT3!
A safe bet for delivery to your dealer in NY would be a month after production.
The anomalies are usually time it takes to catch a boat, then get from port to your dealer.
The time will go by soon.
I'm on my 4th week of being Porscheless. It doesn't get easier!

If I had any brains I would still have my 08 turbo I trades away about 5 911's ago. It's endless.

My car was finished at the factory end of June, I think June 28. Delivered to dealer August 9. I am in Colorado so you will probably see your car earlier (Different port).

I traded in a 993 Cabrio, 997S, 991 7MT and a 991S Cabrio, don't regret any of it loved all the cars but this GT3 is the best car I have ever owned and I'm just breaking it in. Love it, worth everything

Congrats Swivel. Once production is complete its 4 weeks for travel and two-three weeks at port Davisville for PDI and clearance. 2 days for transport and depending if you are adding one aftermarket items at the dealer, 2-5 days. If you are getting the car thru Manhattan Motorcars, Larry Kosa is a nice guy. Actually, all the guys there are pretty nice.
