Late, drive it to Beverly Hills and check out the hooters.

Macca do you think I can assume I'm in the same boat as these guys the only difference I was V290 and no I never got a VIN. Porsche, the computer and my my dealer all say June sometime. I am thinking no way, I'm just waiting to get the word I'm a 2015 now. Starting to sound like anything left at the factory will not be finished? I know several guys here online that their cars were started but now they are 15's. Effectively Porsche has changed their minds in the last 10 days with regards to these cars. Is this why Ian is no longer returning calls, because what's he going to say....sorry we uh umm well you see now we are not going to give you this car, we are going to get you are car in the fall. This deal with clocked is a bit disturbing and his info straight from Tim Quinn and he did include his commission information. So are we going to get a new email retracting previous offer.....really.

If the rumor that European and German customers cars are headed to factory for engine replacement then why wouldn't they do our cars to and get them the hell out of there? If they send me a retraction letter

VINs are assigned well before V290, in fact they appear to be assigned when the car emerges from the body shop. Your car by this point has a VIN and it is stamped all over the place. You just haven't been told your VIN.

And who do you know that had a car actually at some stage of production( V260 or higher completed), that now is a 2015? You are saying their 2014 build got scrapped? I think Quinn was just confused by Clocked's email with regard to engine completion date.

My car went v270 02/21/14. Dealer told me I have a VIN. Was to be at dealer 5/16 /14 as a MY 14. Got the Tim Quinn email.
Just got word from dealer that I now have a 10/24/14 delivery date and it will be a MY 15. It doesn't make sense. So is my car going to sit at factory for 8 months so it can get a new engine and wait for Porsche to change it to a 15?
I am trying to have my dealer confirm date changes and in fact it will be a 15.

I don't know how PAG's going to change MY14 cars with VINs to MY15 when the VIN itself already identifies it as a MY14 car--10th character is an "E" already.

jcblk3

That's what I'm wondering. Maybe Porsche is going to start from scratch? Could the MY14 cars sitting at factory be used for other purposes like Porsche Driving Schools, racing or give to executives at PAG? Then just run a new build through the line for me as a 15?

0Q991

That's what I was thinking too!

All depends on how any there are and how any Porsche typically stocks their Driving Schools with.

Wow. You have me very confused. My car went V270 on March 20 and I also am being told delivery will be in October. But I know it is a 2014 as the 10th digit of the VIN is an "E". Confirmed by Ian etc. I think your dealer is mistaken, but this isn't that complicated. What is the 10th digit of your VIN? E is 2014. They can't change the 2014 to a 2015' the VIN is stamped in many places at this point. Just look at the 10th digit of your VIN. Oh and no 2015 VINs exist yet.

jcblk3

Yeah. I'm confused as well. I keep telling my the dealer things just don't add up. I think I'm still getting an 14 as well. Heading into dealer tomorrow to try to get an answer. If our cars are built and just waiting for an engine why would it take until October to get them delivered? Can't imagine Porsche wants to pay me $12,000 to wait an extra 6 months for a car that is almost finished. (original delivery date 4/18/14) Wait, that's really depressing. My car was to be delivered tomorrow.

mcsmcs1

Do you have your VIN to look at? I was given mine. There is one other possibility, the data we are being fed is FUBAR!

jcblk3

I'll look at it tomorrow. I am sure it will be a 14.

^- Guys none of this is making any sense. I do not believe our Concierges' are being fed correct data.
If you have a 2014 that the car was built(minus engine) how can it be moved to Oct and still be a 2014 build. All of this stuff is ludicrous and I do not think the dealers can help because all they do is look at what is conveyed in their system - which could be completely wrong and waiting for an update. I think Porsche is so confused right now and completely understaffed to manage this.

I am waiting for a response from Quinn related to the cars that where on the production at the time of stop sale.

Ian has a list of those that got cars moved from a 2014 to a 2015. He admitted the list is three weeks ago so updates may

PNA has my car as a 2014 that completed production on 4/15. Per the Quinn letter I have mine will be a 2015 and the 2014 was cancelled.

Who is telling the truth?

Shall we play a game of truth or dare?

I would bet yours will be a 2015. If they are providing a Loaner and compensation until that time frame only you can decide whether it is worth the wait. Being that you have a 458 to enjoy, as well, I do not think you are in bad shape. If it was going to be a 2014 at the same time 2015 coming out then that would be a whole different situation to consider

0Q991

If they give loaner and $2k a month and you get an early 2015MY?!? No way they'll do that. If they do that, sign me up! You would get a fresh 2015 and money and a loaner in the meantime--that would be by far the best offer out there.

From what has been posted here, if you get a 2015, you do not get the cash.
