You have done a good job of keeping the price w/in reason

Just curious: why splurge then on adaptive cruise?

I have got down to 3-4 configs (colors etc). Still can't quite decide on CS vs Targa 4.

I hope the timeline is right, I'm in the first slot for the C4S from my dealer (after their display models). So it is a early/mid Feb build with a likely late March delivery, but I'm hoping I get more firm information once everything locks in. I did my best to give them all my picks as quickly as I could and now will try to avoid the configurator.

Love the color combo / build. Congrats - hopefully the wait is not painful...

So, I am seeing builds now for delivery in Feb/Mar. If I want Apr/May in Zuffenhausen what is my 'window' - Dec/15?

Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that dealers in the US are not allowed to release customer cars until after the official launch date of March 23. So cars produced in December and January would be held until that time.... That's my understanding, if you guys have heard differently, I would love to hear...

Thanks! I'll make it, but I will be watching all the other posts as people receive their cars.

Are you guys placing your orders and agreeing to paying sticker price or are you getting a little bit of a break?

People are getting discounts in line with current (or recent) 991 production orders. My impression is that dealers are holding the first production spots for those customers that are willing to pay more and giving spots in the later production months to those that got discounts, i.e. the greater the discount, the longer you will wait..... that is only my impression, though.... I would love it if folks could provide concrete evidence in favor or against this impression...

Have not heard anything about production dates yet. Dealer told me I should get the car in March. I got a few percent discount and honestly I did not bargain that hard. I could have gotten better with a more distant dealer but decided to stick close to home.

The only date that I was given regarding production was that my configuration would be locked on Jan 1st. No news about an actual build date.

I was told US dealers are not allowed to deliver customer cars before the official launch date of March 23 (this is for the US only, as far as I know).... so, if you are in the US, you may get yours right after that...

After ordering my 4S, I got an invitation in the mail to attend a VIP launch event on Dec 10th. The invite contained a url to a private Porsche website which you access via a personal password.

I also received quite a nice box filled with pull out cards with pictures on the 991.2 on one side and text on the other. Basically the same info as on the Porsche website but still a nice presentation format.

Oh…and I have a test drive booked for 14th December. Will let you know what it's like.

I have not received a firm date, was just told February build and likely end of March delivery. I am hoping a receive a cool picture kit once things move along here in the US.
