Finally ehhh! Congrats

We should park next to each other since we both live in Vancouver.

P.S. Let me know what you think of your Burmester.

Gorgeous car. Good choice on waiting for a replacement... It would bother me to no end taking delivery of a brand new $140K+ 911 that had paint work and damage repair from delivery.

Hi Fellow Enthusiasts,

I ordered my 992 C4S in January of 2019, nearly 14 months ago.

My first car arrived on Sept 12 2019, and the delivery experience went sideways. The first problem was a battery recall on the lithium battery, this took a 1 month wait to get a replacement battery from Germany. After waiting 1 month for the battery, I was notified of a defective Burmester speaker detected during PDI. I didn’t think this was the end of the world, it can be replaced when the part arrives. Finally, on the delivery day, the worst problem occurred. Somewhere during transportation or prep, the rocker panel sustained some impact damaged. I left the dealership on delivery day without a car, waiting for repair. After waiting a week for repair, it turned out the textured coating on the rocker panel is difficult to repair and the repair wasn’t perfect.

I decided to wait 4 months for another car, and the dealership was very understanding. I don’t know how the car got damaged, but the dealership was just as upset about it as me and I believe a lot of the problems were out of their control.

Well, today, I finally took delivery of the dream, the 2nd car. This is my first Porsche, and wow, what an experience. It was a perfect day.

I look forward to contributing to this community and sharing experiences. Congratulations to everyone else who has already taken delivery.

And finally , some pics







Awesome spec. Love the Horseshoe Bay background lol. Vancouver Porsche i assume? Any discount? Just got an allocation so wondering if there is room for savings at all.

Hey man, just out of curiosity, were you given compensation for having to re-order?

Like I said, I would never ever ever do this in public but my own private space that I paid for is mine, and to me it is disrespectful to be labelled as “entitled”. The pictures don’t really do justice, but the truth is this car is wide and it’s actually difficult to open doors with two cars in my stalls.
Sir, yo are absolutely entitled to do what you are doing. Don’t listen to all of the trolls on here. This is a big beautiful investment that you worked hard for. All it takes is one idiot in a pick up truck and now you have an inch deep dent and scrubbed paint.

I park far out in the parking lot where ever I go and people will still try to park right on top of you with a beat up minivan. It is a crazy phenomenon. Do what you have to do to protect your baby.
