I received the statue yesterday. I was really surprised to get one. I bought my 2016 GTS new in February of 2016 and this is the first thing I have ever recieved from Porsche or the dealership that I bought my car from.

I was stunned to find a big box from Porsche at my front door, but am delighted to be included. Guess it'll be another year or two before I think about a new one since the bank still owns most of mine

Default 911 Statue Gift

Yes, received the book and statue a few days before Christmas. I assumed it's because I purchased a new 2019 991.2 GTS last year.

I got just the book. I bought my 2018 C2S back in April from a Non-Porsche dealer.

Traded for my new 911 in June 2018 after buying new in 2016.

So far, nothing...

You know this is tacky. Porsche takes the time money and effort to send these to customers who can't wait to put them on EBay. Wow I spent 6 figures for a car and can't wait to make a whole $100.

That's about the first thing I thought of too

From my experience, many Porsche owners are tacky.

250$!!!! haha
I got the book but based on these listings the statue came with a book too so I guess no sculpture for me:/ I'd love to have one for my desk if anyone doesn't want theirs.

So no discernible pattern to who gets one and who doesn't? Doesn't appear to be based on whether you bought a new 911 in 2019, Is it dealer specific?

I doubt it. Last time I did a service in a Porsche dealership was in 2017, since then I have been doing Indy-shops. Bought last 911 in a non-Porsche dealership.

I didn’t get a statue, but I got the book, a 911 card with the VIN on it, and this.

Like others, I was surprised to receive the book and even more surprised (and pleased, thanks Porsche) to receive the book and statue last week. I bought my CPO 2017 991.2 from a dealer in NC Labor Day weekend 2018. I did recently have service here in Dallas and I test drove a 992 the day before Christmas. Not sure if that triggered the gift. I’ve been sent brochures from time to time, but not gifts.

I got no love... bought my 2019 GTS new local to me in the SF Bay Area, pretty much paid MSRP when I ordered. Took my car in for its 1yr service to the same dealer just over a month ago. The statue would need to be solid gold to make up for what I could have saved on an out of state purchase
