Anyone see this 992 T that just went up on auction?

Looks like a pretty rich build, but with PDK. 🤔

Looks like a mid 130s car and I don't find the build particularly appealing. Curious to see what it goes for. Dealers are asking about $20k over but so far auctions don't quite reach MSRP.

What's the reason that makes you think that ventilated seats harm resale? additional weight or that they don't function properly?
I am UK based so this may only effect the US used market?

Normally your build date should be about a month after your freeze date which would mean August build and that seems to marry well with a 6th October delivery as it takes about six weeks to get from build completion to Emden and onto a boat and the over to Sheernes and delivery to the dealer.
I had a sad issue with my first allocation well documented on this thread. it was frozen early May built end of June arrived at the dealer on July 17th, The issue of the Vin normally means the car is about to enter production. Maybe you missed when it was first announced.
I am locking my spec next week (a little early to be safe) build due mid October delivery due at present 24th November.
As NewTo911s say check with Sytner. Hope that helps but it sounds to me like all should be good for the 6th October arrival.

Sadly, my sales advisor isn't overly helpful and I only really get updates when I chase them. I can't say it's been the best experience of a new car purchase so far.
This was the lastest response from them when I asked if it was stuck at stage 3 and if delivery was likely to be pushed back.

I am about to spec ventilated seats so that I get a full leather interior, which with the T there is no other option.

I think many UK dealers fall below par on new car sales.
If it is not too intrusive what is your build spec? Apologies if you have posted it before.
Many thanks.

Called first thing this morning to enquire about putting deposit on a new T.
He said they may have used up all their allocation and he’d get back to me.
That was 8 hrs ago… still waiting!
This would be my 3rd new car from them in little over a year. Think I’ll try a couple of different dealers tomorrow.
Smacks of…

I really like the Sport Tex seats in the T, but.... I have ventilated seats in my Macan and I find myself using them pretty much every time I'm in the car. So I have full leather incl vent seats in my spec. This is (planned as) a forever car, so I'm choosing temperature comfort over other considerations
