So I'm a bit late to the Holiday celebration as I was up in Washington for Christmas with family. My SA sent me the first photo to let me know it made it from Houston like the rest have posted here. The second photo is my car next to some red and white model....
. Better pics when I pick it up on Sunday! The 35 year wait is coming to an end!

Also for others, keep in mind that the data points in the thread are likely to be better than average deals, not a sampling of true median prices paid, and also the market/region variability is quite high. Those data points are self-reported discounts on a Porsche enthusiasts forum thread about how good of a deal you can get. Great info, but it's pretty far from a poll of average buyers!
Truecar is another source and they suggest about a 2% discount on a new 2017 Carrera or Carrera S is typical but there is a fair bit of variation. I don't think their data is necessarily great but it's another source and would probably strike a bit closer to the real average.

My dealer said this was the first Carrera they've received with Sport-Tex seats. I'm pretty happy with the look and feel.
Pardon the dirt; I instructed the dealer not to wash the car so I could do it myself in the days to come.
The drive home was amazing.

I don't think thus far the average or typical discount nationwide was quite as high on custom ordered 991.2 TT/TTS models. My TT discount was 2.1% of the MSRP, a few free knick-knacks, and I effectively got 2% in state sales tax credit from an in-and-out private sale of my former car. I'm fine with it. I'm also a first time buyer there - I had a 997 for a year but bought it from a Mercedes dealer out of state.

Question:
For all of you with recent deliveries.
Did you car come with a plug covering where the rear tow hook goes under the rear license plate? Mine didn't. We thought it was left off but then the dealer checked and said all their cars come without it event though it shows it in the manual.

I had 3 cars on my final list, and I was bouncing around them frantically till the end. They were this one (Night Blue with Graphite/Chalk), Sapphire over Black, and GT Silver over Black/Bordeaux. I think they're all great. Nick changed his trim from brushed aluminum to the (graphite) leather. I think that's a pretty good choice because there is noticeable difference between the brushed trim and the door handles and steering wheel trim. I got the GT wheel, which has less shiny trim, but if I was sticking with the non-GT multifinction wheel (like Nick is) then I can really see going with the leather trim.
Thanks, Pete. The guys there have been good to work with.

I always assumed that was a Porsche Easter egg for some kind of sex toy.
