Check your status guys, it's moving!

So embarrassed!

Also in digging in someone at PCNA said that V170 is still being handled in Germany so order could still process like normal. They are not 100% sure why some of you are V170, but if you have your commission number I recommend you call you dealer or PCNA and find out more info. Also, PCNA again told me some early PTS orders have moved forward and they are reviewing from earliest production date forward (still not clear if this based on new production dates or old..).

So I will correct the database in a little bit, hide in a corner for a while to clean the egg off my face and go back to waiting with the rest of you...

...keep checking but verify!!
Nothing to be embarrassed about man, so sorry for your (hopefully temporary) disappointment. I hope most/all of us get our choices.

Inquired as to status. I'm at V215. PCNA will apparently "fix" the build on November 11th and will have a build date and all that.

I know a bunch of people have transitioned into V180, wondering what the timeframe is for V215 if its going to get approved (or not)?

Did your dealer provide a screen shot of your status? It's odd that you are V215 without any build schedules being populated.

Naw, I'm not going to pester the dealer for that. Just telling you what they've told me. Presumably the car will show-up at some point. Not overly worked-up about it.

You have a nice zen approach to GT3 buying. Consistent with the color selection.

Thank you Brownan for the update. You are not a frequent poster here so it's nice for you to take the time to do so. I also think a lot of people are like you, they don't want to bother their dealer for constant updates. It's really a shame that you can not track your order status on line, this would solve so many problems. I ordered a 2003 M3 in 2002- so what, 15 years ago?- and I could track every step of my order process from start to finish. It's ridiculous that Porsche doesn't have this or care to do this. It's a service to both the customer and the dealer (rant over).

Having said that Brownan (with empathy for your Zen approach too) can you check your order status again and get your build date? (LOL!) Since you probably don't check in too often, FYI I too was given a V215 status and it was totally a mistake. Trust but verify!

I think nobody knows, and it may not be V215 depending on the production date it could be V200 (not likely as they don't want you to change the build). We are all asking the same question and there is no set answer. We do know that they will be starting from earliest build date to latest so there will be a variable wait. I think we have a good representative sample here so once things start moving we should start seeing a flow of orders changing probably daily over the course of two weeks.

Rennsport Reunion and this may turn into a PTS registry (although I will be less interested in organizing anything if I don't get approved-LOL!)

Will check in with them next week and see what kind of update I can get. A buddy as a Meerblau car coming from the same dealer on the same timetable so it might be his turn to bug them!

Agree that PCNA should be able to provide a tracker for customers. Like you, I ordered a BMW, an X5 in my case a few years ago. You could track it online like a Dominos pizza.

Hi there, i got a confirmed PTS Riviera blue build for week 51. I contacted my dealer last week requesting changing it to Mexico blue but Factory declined as my order was locked. Do you mind me asking how you managed to change it last minute ?

Hi, by last minute i meant about a week ago or so.

just got in contact with the sales manager and all was sorted. I bought from a factory dealership, not an independent, fwiw.

Riviera Blue is an awesome color, not many around!
