This isn't going to help the inflated pricing we're seeing.

Another one?

I kid

Word is just 1 dealer out of Texas had 22 cars including new GTS Cabrio on the ship. Who knows how many owners are going to have to get back on the wait list

 

my new car's lost at sea?

 

Anyone here tracking their Porsche order via the app?

 

Matt Farah's Spyder was on the ship

 

same story, different take:

this should drive the BaT sales prices up a bit. as if they weren't climbing fast enough already!

 

Exactly, even if 20% of buyers say "screw it, I am buying preowned".. BAT and the like will see a bump for sure

 

60,000 P cars per year in US so this represents less than 2% of annual volume, however now there is one less specialty roll-on roll-off ship no doubt creating a logistics issue maintaining oversea shipping volumes. Then of course there's back filling the lost units adding more to a production backlog. What a mess. Condolences for all the dealers and customers with incoming orders. I'll give my one year old 4S a hug.

 

Rich, you got a new one on the way???

 

TMZ says there were 1100 Porsches on board:

Tell Trevor to fire up the Cargobob and let's go get us some GT3's

 

If the ship is in international waters and you salvage a couple of P-cars, maritime law says they're yours!

 

And you can mention in the for sale add, “recently washed”"…….

 

Ha!
read this happened before/somewhat recently to a bunch of P cars. remember something similar happening to a bunch of Rovers about 4-5 years ago, although that ship just tipped over in typical Rover fashion i believe =)

sorry to all who got hit but it's always good for a laugh or two (as long as no one got hurt).

 

Should be some hot deals!
