I don't expect to track very often but will definitely be enjoying some Bay Area driving.
Beautiful build, mine is very similar except I went partial leather on the slate, dropped the sunroof and went with the 4 ways on the SSP but threw in the 20/21 wheels.

Lovely! I originally had the 20/21 classic Carreras and 14-way, but decided to go for a slightly more comfortable ride for long trips with 18way and 19/20. I really liked how the glass room made the car slightly airier. It's my year round car and daily. I came from a much sparser 14' model s cabin so this is quite the interior upgrade.

I have the 19/20's as winter wheels and so It will be interesting to compare looks and feel although granted some of that might come down to winter tires. I agree the SSP are the way to go but because I am the only driver and will not use tilt and lumbar and extended thigh support and so I decided 4 ways was better for me than 18 ways or at least a lot cheaper. I initially wanted to keep it as basic as possible with only SC, PSE and SSP 4 ways but then the 20/21's kept calling to me and the leather dash and door panel called to me and who could say no but I am still happy that I was able to get a nice mix of basic drivers car with enough luxury that it feels special to me. My commute is 25 mins and although I drive a lot I am never in the car for more than 30-40 mins and so extended comfort was not my concern

Default Arrived at the port


So my car arrived at the port today! I see that there are two vehicle carriers at emden right now. The Slick Ace and Necar Road(might have that name wrong)... anywho I was wondering what my chances are of my car and everyone else’s at the port currently; to get on one of these ships! Anyone have any insight on this?

Zero chance...TYD first needs to indicate ship name under On Vessel page...this happens a day or two before ship docks...you mostly will wait 2-3 weeks to get on a ship.

Default Any hope for my car catching the swift Ace tomorrow?

From my SA:

Bruce, sorry, I am off on Fridays and can’t access the system from home. Once I get in to the store tomorrow I will check which ship your Targa is on.

Hmmm. Fellow Bay Area guy here, placed my deposit yesterday, being told Mid April delivery but likely late March. Not counting on it but interesting. My first as well.

My car arrived at dealership late Friday and currently sitting at dealership. Plan to take delivery on 1/2, longest 3 weeks in my life, LOL.

Why are you waiting until 1/2 to get the car?

It's about vehicle property tax consideration. Missouri is notorious for its high vehicle property tax, ranked 3rd in the nation . If I take possession of this vehicle before 1/1/2021, I need pay about 4k tax in 2021. Any date after 1/1 delivery, property tax is waived in the first year of ownership. 3 weeks waiting vs 4k saving, tough but might be worth, LOL.

Wow. Dealers have to hate that as people will delay purchases from most of the year until January's! And that is owed every year you own the car?!

I guess it depends on how urgent you need the vehicle and how deep the discount goes on dealership 4th quarter sales. In Missouri, you need to pay the whole year vehicle tax every year once you own it on 1/1 of each year, based on the depreciated assessed value of the vehicle. That's why it is so called SHOW-ME(-THE-MONEY)-STATE,

Is this in addition to or instead of sales tax?
