"maintenance plan, dent protection, tire and wheel protection, windshield coverage, term protection." I'm sure some of these may be worth adding on but would appreciate any recommendations here! Thanks!

I believe the overwhelming consensus here, and on the 992 Forum is NOT to get any of the bolt-on options. The finance manager is not there to save you any money.

Full disclosure… I personally have purchased these (like Tire & Wheel) in the past and I won’t do it again.

Regarding the dealer (mandating) PPF… are they going to administer the warranty? I would (at the very minimum) talk directly to the installer and see what process they employ. Custom fit or pre cut panels. Just advising caution that you get the PPF install you want.

I’m surprised your local entry port is so far north. I would have expected them to use Jacksonville, since it is only about 5 hrs from Atlanta.

My car is coming into Jacksonville - arrives on the 24th - supposed to be at dealer in Atlanta on 29th

My profile should show Georgia / Ct 🤣🤣🤣

I just spoke with my SA - there are no holds on my car so the chip has been replaced.

Scheduled to offload in Jacksonville tomorrow then on to dealer for ppf, ceramic and tint ‼️

Yes Perimeter !!!

Hope it gets to dealer quickly.

Then they have to prep it, ppf, ceramic and I'm having 30% tint applied - shouldn't take too long.

Any movement on your end? My TYD shows leaving Freeport on Friday, which would be a week there...

I just received this email, but the website hasn’t updated…

My TYD is still showing on step 3. It’s supposed to move to step 4 today (“The manufacturing process of your Porsche has now started 4/23/24”).

Is that normal? How long does it take to update on the website?
