You Got It! Not verified by PCA, but dealer seemed sure. Guess we will all know soon?

Ugh. This is ridiculous. My car has been at port since 3/7--if this is true, this would drastically miss any reasonable expectation that I was preparing for.

Well, wait and see. Many dealer statements have not been true. In this case I can't judge. I know my friend is 100%, but the dealer may not be. Good Luck. Allan

Agreed. It seems like info between PAG / PCNA /
dealers has been FAR from clear throughout this process. I'm going to hope that the dealer is wrong in this case. Selfishly, of course!

Well my car was a 3/7 delivery. Has been in Houston port since 2/27. September delivery sounds unreal. I'm driving a loaner 2014 C4S cab with sticker price of 144k. I have already 1800 miles on it. I will be putting 10000+ miles on it by then. Estimated 12k $ (6X2000 $) back on my purchase price....I think if they do the math they're loosing big time on my deal. I'm cool

I'm in a similar boat loaners a 50th anniversary with Porsche and dealer comp I guess I'll wait it out. If I ordered a 15 gt3 I'd probably get it faster than my 14.

Were you given a loaner without having to consummate the actual purchase of the GT3? Your car was at port so you really haven't "purchased"the car yet. Did you surrender a previously owned car in anticipation of this purchase? Or did you take delivery, complete the transaction and then the car was quickly taken back and returned to the port?

I did an early trade in of my C2S about a year ago. But the transaction wasn't based on a GT3 but a 50th aniversary edition then.

myphillylawyer- I am interested in your line of questioning. I had a trade-in back in July for a future GT3. The trade in was a $120,000. I ordered the GT3 with an expected delivery of 3/14. No car and they have my $120,000. They did provide a Loaner but my tax deferral also expired on 4/30.

The only language Porsche will respond to is? Law.

Look at past scenarios. Seek help if you are out of pocket $175K and this company is not giving you any update and the dates keep getting pushed out without any updates. I WOULD be pissed if it was an $1000 item let alone $175K. This is crazy guys. Now they don't even answer their phone calls. Ivan never called me back. Currently this hasn't cost me anything and thank god I didn't sell my car to get this car. Ge a hold of a lawyer FAST and discuss this. myphillylawyer might help?

I have been unable to get a hold of Ian after a week of trying also. If they are not busy calling Cat A owners with dates (and we have not heard if any such calls so far...), then I have no idea why they have been in reachable.

I had my deposit paid March 2013. I had my car delivered to Newark Port on Feb 21 2014, it's been there ever since and I've been told end of June by my dealer.

You might try emailing Ian. Sometimes it's easier to get a hold of him by email.
I have his email if you want to PM me.
