Very nice!
Is that a garage-heater for your C4 or water heater?

My c2s just showed up at the dealership. Out of town for the holidays, but loooking forward to picking it up. The dealer wants to punch the sold ticket before year end, but I don't want to lose a couple of weeks on the warranty. Still negotiating.

There is insufficient clutter in this garage!

Delayed update, but my 911 came in from Houston just before the holiday break as well. I had just enough time to pick it up, drive it home, and park it before leaving over the weekend.

Here she is...

Got my car back last week from the body shop. She's home safe and sound and looking as new as the day she was delivered to me

It's night time - I'll take a better series of pics tomorrow! Just put my plate on. The dealership screwed me up to a level unheard of. Anyone interested to hear a pretty effed up story?

I'm game, why the bodyshop visit? However, the car looks great in the one pic you posted.

+1 to hear the story. Looks like a beautiful Sapphire Blue C4S! Glad it's (back?) in hand!

Re: The body shop - my car was parked in downtown brooklyn and someone either kicked my door - or backed into the car (left no note).

Here's the photo.


Now the dealer story. I'll make it in bullet point style for ease of read. I know no one wants to read an essay.

Ordered car July 15.
Picked up car November 1. All is great.
Transfer plates was requested as I have vanity plates.
Took the car home on November 1 with the temporary plates expiring 11/30/2016
11/25 comes - no registration yet in the mail.
12/1 comes - no registration in the mail.
It is now illegal to drive my car in New York or park it on the street as the registration has expired.
I call the dealer to find out when I am supposed to get the registration.
They forgot to order them and promised it would be done immediately.
Don't have the exact day - but soon after that - I get 2 new plates in the mail with a new registration.
They didn't even bother to look in my file - to see that transfer plates were requested.
I called dealer back telling them this was all wrong and they need to fix it.
They told me they can't do anything more because now its all in my name and I have to go to DMV.
I go to DMV - I look up myself how to transfer plates. I fill out the form.
I bring my previous registration that I am transferring to the new car.
The wait time exceeded 2 hours.
Finally told I need copy of the NY Title and power of attorney that I am transferring plates (because it is a lease - and Porsche is the owner).
They told me it has to all be notarized.
Dealer sends me original title, not NY Title. The notary is on the reverse side of a copy scanned - not on original document.
Nevertheless, I take it back to the DMV for another 90 minute wait.
DMV Rejects me again when I bring them because the title is not the NY Title.
Meanwhile, no calls of apology. Nothing.
I had to call PCNA to complain about what's been going on - and thye sent me my NY Title which I am brought to a DMV Services company to complete the registration.

For 1 month - the car has been illegal to drive because the dealer screwed it up.

I am requesting of PCNA to reimburse me for the cost of the lease for the month of December.

I am completely frustrated that the dealer wouldn't even TRY to help fix this situation. I wasn't asking for any favors - and after they "forgot" - one would think they'd make sure this mishap doesn't escalate.

I won't hold my breath for an apology - but I'll go very strong on social media if PCNA doesn't make this right.

The byproducts of living in New York. Born there, lived there, done that. Not worth it to me. Apparently, 9M people still believe otherwise.

I think I read your plate is a reflection of your profession. However, that plate would be more fitting on a Mercedes-Benz as Designo is equivalent to Porsche's Exclusive. That was the fist thing I thought when I saw the plate.
