I received word that my MY16 GT3 (with LWBs, fwiw) is built but I do not pick it up at the factory until September 9. The time difference bums me out. How many miles do you think will be on it by the time I take delivery?

I've read your pickup thread... 😊

How many miles on your when you picked it up? What was the gap in time between when it was built and you picked it up?

Now you know how we early adopters felt during the factory shut down and desperately waiting for news of a fix for the engine woes. My car sat there at the factory for at least 2 months.

two months. The car had 19 kilometers on the clock.
The car was in perfect shape when I picked up. Tire pressures, paint, interior...all perfect

Sort of depends on whether you selected the option of "P1A - Pre-Delivery Engine Break-In" ...

No excuse....the LWB shortage is a complete fail by Porsche. Now GT4's get now LWB options ? Finally RS allocation drama...glad I left their sports car brand. I ain't no Porsche bitch...

It's amazing how many cars are sitting around the factory waiting to be shipped. They don't waste any space and use it all.

Minimal. My Carrera S was built in April 2009, factory delivered mid June with 2.7KM on the clock. Don't worry....

The real fail is that this seat is no longer offered. Lear seat can't hold a candle to the Recaro CGT seat.

What sucks is the cars sitting out, and will need paint correction for sure.
