Default My car is in port

As hinted to me at the Dubai 911 launch, got a call from my salesperson today that my car is in port and that I should pay up to get car by Feb 1.

Also he is trying to sell me dealer paint protection for $680 but I absolutely believe that to be a total waste of money, it's unnecessary at a minimum. Any opinions on this issue?

Dealer paint protection for $680 = $680 PDP (Pure Dealer Profit), IMO.

I agree with you guys that the paint protection is not worth it. But what are your thoughts on the Stone Guard Film? I had a 2006 Cayman S that I dd not get the film and I got some paint chips. I had the film put on the 2009 C2S and it seemed to work but I didn't really like the look. Now I have traded the C2S in for a 991 that will be built in March (stick shift) and I ordered Aqua Blue which I hope looks great.

Would you guys add the stone guard or go without and touch up chips?

My dealer is willing to deliver the vehicle to me on Feb 1 or 2nd but I am postponing taking the delivery to Sun morning (yeah it's a working day here) Feb 19!! Had I taken it on Feb 1 I probably would have been the first to own one on this forum which might have been nice but unfortunately my schedule does not allow it. I am travelling the first half of Feb!

Any other 991 penders out there that might delay receiving the car beyond the time the dealer is ready to deliver?
