Sounds like this was a bonus allocation to your dealer. Back in November, several dealers got really high spec Carrera S allocations, but had to remain at the dealer for 90 days, or they had to make two Porsche approved promotional videos. Either way, congratulations!

Could be. They actually offered me an S which was in production and would be delivered really soon (also for the showroom and delivery this autumn) and I was actually going to jump on it and asked just in case if they happened to have any incoming GTS which they said they had and that was it. Jumped on it immediately as things are really slow at the moment. As things are at the moment I really don't care about it being over specced... I rather take that than under specced.

I figured I’d offer to this group before I posted them on Marketplace.
How much were they gonna charge you for those two things individually?

Out of curiosity, was there any difference in the dealer markup they offered for the S compared to the GTS?

They weren’t! It was free dealer swag. My dealer is giving me an indoor car cover and clear turn signals.

I’m officially leaving the waiting room! Took delivery yesterday. Here’s a few pics. First is the 991.2 GTS I traded in last September.

Experience at Porsche Centre Langley was exceptional. Love the car, definitely feels more refined vs the 991.2 which I also loved.

Everything is there: two keys, electric steering column, etc., etc.

Less than a day left to wait. It was offloaded from the truck about an hour ago. Pick up tomorrow before noon.

Did your TYD update to show when it left the port prior to your dealer notifying you of its arrival?

Yes. It updated pretty quickly. I was surprised it took 4 days after it was put on a truck to get from Jacksonville to Atlanta though. Loaded 03/26 arrived today at about 2 pm. Picking it up tomorrow by 11 am.

As I was typing SA sent me another picture:

I hope it’s Aventurine Green. That color really depends on lighting.
