Porsche just updated me from 4 to 3 days delivery to my Naples FL dealership…

That’s a laugh!

Ha! Mine is at 5 days. Not going to happen… I suspect another 10-14+ days.

Edit: Sirius Highway is in port. It came straight from Port Altamira (Mexico), zero port stops.

Hey, I'll trade my T for your Dakar! Haha. Congrats on your allocation. I have a deposit on one which I'll likely never get. The T is special but the Dakar, even more so. $50k is about market and there are people who have paid 3x what you have so you've done well. The T is indeed spacial and it's a sum-of-parts gestalt type car. I currently have a 2023 T that I'm trading in for this new allocation so I've had 5k mi of joy so far living with one. I hope you don't shy away from putting miles on yours when you get it and that you use it as intended.

After driving the T I looked at a video comparing it with the Dakar, GT3 RS, and Turbo S - was on CarWow youtube, and he really enjoyed the T as well. Great car! At this point it seems the Dakar continues to rise in price, which is honestly why I feel like the dealer may be doing something with mine :/ Guess nothing will tell but time. I 100% will be driving this (I am young, kind of, but for sure stupid LOL).

Thanks!

If you don't have a deposit, go in and tell them you want to make your first payment toward it.
The T is the only Carrera I'd get. The base, S and GTS don't make sense to me.

Anyone else seeing a delay from port arrival to transit to dealer?

The Siem Cicero arrived in Houston on 12/19 or 12/20 and car was due to arrive at my Houston dealer on 12/23.

I imagine the schedule did not contemplate the holidays and a potentially large number of cars to process for delivery.

Not sure if others are seeing the same and can confirm whether there's a delay due to backlog, updates, or damage.

The car in question is a C2 GTS.

Hello friends.

I’ve just seen a truck with 8 beauties.

All with individual configurations…Turbo, touring, GT3 RS, T, Carrera S…!

The driver is on the way from Zuffenhausen to the UK. I catched him in the Frankfurt area on the Autobahn A3!

Have a look, maybe it’s yours!!! Enjoy the sneak preview.

The shipping schedule directly from SIEM. I suppose those of us on SIEM Confucius can throw this out the window.

thanks for the info on the violet ace. My 911 is on it and initially the arrival date at Davisvilke was on the 28th…. So do you know if that date is still accurate?

Wait, two-door Porsches are NOT transported via a covered trailer?!? I definitely thought they were from factory to port. Is the GT3 RS the only vehicle that gets what is basically a full cover or is it based on its position on the trailer?
