Not sure if this helps but last year my GT4 was supposed to arrive in port 10/9/15. It updated to the 7th and then to the 4th and actual was the 3rd.
Port was Rhode Island and it arrived at the dealership in CT on 10/9 and I took delivery 10/10.

I've been told factors include port speed/dock workers/how much cargo is being moved in general and how much is being moved off said vessel. Also sometimes your car will be loaded on the car carrier, but all the cars are held up waiting for other cars to be unloaded to "fill the carrier" before he can being his route. If you have a long day it could be because they chose it for a customs inspection or that it was damaged in transit and has to be repaired at port.

Every persons delivery situation is different. All you can really do is set expectations for the given date and hope for an earlier arrival. Usually it will take 1 more day for the PDI of your car @ the dealership as well. If you are doing PEC delivery then it can be 2-4 weeks delay as they want to make sure they have plenty of buffer in their PEC delivery program.

Thanks. It appears mine is doing the opposite. Said 10/22 then 10/21 then 10/23 now 10/25. Took 6 days for yours to go from port to dealer. If applied to mine, that means 10/31 with pickup Nov 1 (which makes sense since my dealer said 11/4 would be likely pickup).

As this is my first Porsche, the extra days are excruciating!

I though the wait would be no big deal when I placed the order, but now I've sold the other 911 and the motorcycle is out of commission - it's a lot more painful when you can't just drive a toy whenever you want!

I still have my S550 but when you've been dreaming about a Porsche since tender age of 8 / 9 - to a 35 year old now it is a transport back in time - each day is an eternity of waiting to relive the childhood feelings.

[QUOTE=budrichard;13694462]I'll post a picture when it arrives and in the interim see if I can find out what they propose to use - I'll let you know

I just found out that my car didn't make it on this ship. As of yesterday, it was still waiting to be loaded.

Bradley Scott

Happened to me as well the first go around with the ship settling sail. Terrible feeling when you are this close!

With that said, mine is now officially at the dock in Rhode Island - hopefully off the ship.

The ship is meant to set sale Friday morning - thus Tomorrow and Thursday - they are meant to be loading her up I would assume.

Now we wait for
-Customs?
-Boarding a trailer?
-Making the stops to the dealers that have cars on this trailer?
-Drop off at my dealership in Warrington PA?
-PDI
-Paperwork Signing

I believe I included all the steps. I could be wrong.

Bummer! Wonder what happened since we both had same production exit date, and mine ended up out of production and on a boat before that date.

Working with PEC Atlanta now to determine my delivery experience. Looks like Nov 30th or Dec 8th, just waiting for confirmation on one so I can plan my trip.

Anyone have hotel suggestions for Atlanta? Leaning towards the Ritz Carlton. Shocked they don't offer shuttle service from airport nor to PCNA HQ. Seems like a missed opportunity...

Dan Nagy

Yes, I'll need to suffer a few more weeks with my 2015 Cayman, lol. Good luck - you are in the home stretch!

Dan Nagy

Maybe because mine is a manual it didn't make it to the boat as quickly? Well, I have some work travel coming up and hope it doesn't arrive before TG at this point. Good luck!

My first 911 is officially on order!!!

What a surreal feeling... I'm both incredibly excited and slightly conflicted at the same time.

But screw it... you only live once, right?

Congratulations - I hope you love the new car!

CONGRATS and Mazel Tov!!!!! Now your wait begins!!!

Looks like a Christmas season build...hope that's not statistically significant in some adverse way.

Gonna be a looooong winter.

Only options of significance are upgraded sound, natural leather, no sunroof, gloss black sport classic 5 lug wheels. I was briefly interested in the aero option but this car needs to stay on the lower-profile end of the spectrum. OK. Ordered a manual transmission with a real third pedal....um.....oh, right....no.....they wouldn't sell me that. rats. strike that. Next time I guess....

Any options you selected that I should reconsider? I have time left it seems.

I'm coming out of a short line of silly cars. This will replace a 996TT I've had for a while and tracked just a little. Looking forward to this new toy, though I'm gonna have to figure out something else to do with my left leg... Shifter kart braking sorta thing.

Cheers to Rennlist and y'all.....what a fantastic source!

Now I'll need to further study the "how to collect the car from the dealer" threads.
