I was told that there is no guarantee that there will be time to make changes to my order. The notion that there will be such time is based on a “courtesy call” that Porsche Exclusive here in USA is accustomed to getting from their contact in Germany for orders right after the PTS is approved and before they “order the paint for it”, which is the point of no return for the order, as it was explained to me. This courtesy call mechanism is not a formal required process, for example, if the person in Germany who normally does it is out sick or something when it happens for a particular order. But it’s been very reliable to date, I was told.

So, it would seem prudent to have your build the way you’d want it now just in case you don’t get a chance to change it before it locks.

And if you’d be personally devastated to find out your order for a winged GT3 with PTS has locked and you would have switched to Touring in a standard color if you’d had the chance, best not take that chance: switch to Touring now.

Where I laugh at all this though is the absurdity of “being devastated” if you get a PTS GT3.

 

I put in my order exactly the way I wanted it with no revisions if my PTS gets approved. If it's rejected I'm ready to pick Miami Blue.

 

I am a little confused. How can you sell an allocation? If I were a dealer, especially one of the good guys, i would definitely strip the allocation away and give it to one next on the list.

 

Any guess as to when these USA cars will move out of V180 status? Porsche is back from Vacation now, right?

 

Got a call from my dealer just now for my PTS manual car. Porsche called my GM to verify the order was ready to go, and they are locking it. Allegedly we will see V200 at any moment. I am not a VIP. I'll update the thread with any further info.

 

Congrats Sean. That is awesome. Can't wait to see it some day

Thanks! Unlikely we see it at smokies spring, but who knows!

 

Nice, congrats....when you say that Porsche called your GM...do you mean someone from PCNA? or from PAG?

 

I believe it was the factory. I'll be down there tomorrow and can ask.

 

Hopefully this is positive news for all on the list.
it is a good sign

 

Awesome news! Fab!

 

Awesome news! Congrats. Is your production month January or February?

 

+1!

 

what was your original build date and when was PTS submitted?

 

My build month still shows Jan 2018...not a lot of time left. Wonder if Oct is the home we get some clarity of PTS.
