How accurate has Porsche tracking proven to be? Dealer sent me my screen, said my car arrives into the US Christmas Morning.

IDK, but this reminded me to get an update.

My ETA has gone from 12/2 to 11/27, and he told me they've been arriving early, and I'll likely have it by Thanksgiving.

It all depends on...

- transit time for car from Emden to US port of entry
- time to transit customs and vehicle prep
- transport from port of entry to dealer

everything up until the point it leaves the factory is pretty accurate after that it all depends on the above.

Is there a tracking # that we can track online? The only info I got from my dealer is, ETA mid-Jan. It may show up before X'Mas. 6 month wait is a long time. For some reason, I thought it was a 3-4 month wait.

Reuben & OMG (& Mi650 too if yours is a PTS), another month of waiting has passed. Time for an update. I've asked my dealer and will post soon as I have some info. Likewise, if you have any news then please share. Regards.

Mine isn't PTS. But the latest update I received was on the 26th.

My car is on the water, with a new ETA of 11/20. He still said to expect it early. I'll get another update when it hits the port.

It's moved backwards

Build completes 9 Dec, gets to dealer 1 Jan

HappyChristmas - I don't think so

Did my monthly update yesterday too and was told my car is supposed to complete build on 23rd December...BUT....they say I will get it before Christmas. Don't know why they think that, but I'm holding onto that happy thought for now..

Puf, finished cars normally arrive in the UK within 10 days of their completion date, my last car took 8 days. So 3 weeks to get to your dealer after completion seems like a very long time..

I did think 1 Jan seemed a long time - the factory is only a 10 hour drive away. Here's to hoping they're wrong. The itch is getting worse and somehow I ended up at the Porsche sale at Silverstone, 2 weekends ago, with a bidder's paddle in hand. So tempted to pick up something there and then. Well I did, but not a car.

Glad to hear your's is on track.

you know what a PITA it is to DIY the grilles and air filters?

No, but I do know that I will not be doing it.

When I have my STI-r plus and stuff fitted, they have to remove the front and rear bumpers, so the front grills, air filters and exhaust can all be fitted at the same time. (Although the bumper does not need to be removed to fit a switchpath.)
