Oh, she has expressed her preference many times! She hates green! I love it, especially on the 911 with the wing. I have zero regrets about buying this car, even if I sell it. None. Very much enjoyed the entire experience so far. And I may keep it, so I don't want to take badly about it lest it get angry with me.

@AdamIsAdam you have storage until March. Seems ideal since selling sports cars in the winter is less than ideal. Advertising it in March is perfect timing. I would 100% sell it. I know you like it but you've also made it clear you don't love it and prefer the 718 platform. A Spyder seems like the perfect replacement.

I guess they just can't, given the size of the turbos. We'll see, I have not sold it yet. But if I keep it, most likely I'll send it south for the Spring T-Party. So yes, I'll either bring my Cayman or my new toy... 2014 GT500! Yup, I couldn't go that long without having a V8 in the garage, especially a Shelby.
I went from an S550 GT350 to a 991.2 T. With PSE and Soul cats, the 991.2 T has a nice sound, but it'll never match the scream of a NA V8. I've actually been noodling with the idea of selling my T and getting a C5 Z06 race car.

Well said.
For what it is worth my ex T is up for sale at almost £6,000 under the MRSP of my chosen spec. A discount of just over 5% and it is basically new only 35 miles.
Just repaired.
A great buy for any UK party interested.

Thanks guys this is what I meant with the colors. Not the 389 choices some random people made not even ordering the T. Can’t wait to see where it ends. And thanks Wilder for making it more logical than I did.

About two weeks after the car arrived with the dealer (and I had collected the car) the TYD app changed and I can no longer see the five steps to delivery (or hack the build photos).

I would say there's still time to get the pictures up until delivery, just keep checking each day

All the best, Davis
@N3DXT Hi Davis,
Thanks very helpful I will keep checking the app daily and according to your time line something should appear by the 8th November for me?
I know this sounds stupid but what is via F12 hack? My computer key board has an F12 key?
As explained in my later post my car is now at the Port of Emden I just pray it is not put on a boat within the next 48 hours with Storm Ciaran arriving tonight.
It is going to hit my part of the world very hard I believe from the weather warnings!!
Many thanks, Best Devon Racer.

EDIT: Also @Vernin when you say addendum, do you mean like additional price over MSRP?
Yes, Addendums are the dealer addons that are pure profit made by the dealership.
Once you have the contract for the allocation and go to pay your deposit, for the allocation, bring all this up and make them sign the contract (a spec sheet showing the cost of your car, or the allocation build sheet) stating no addendum or 0 addendum.
Especially on the T, you should not be charged an addendum as it's not a GT Car or a limited-production car. (I'd still say you should not be charged over MSRP on GT cars as I know many people were not at the height of COVID and adding addendums but that is another issue entirely)
But nonetheless, Porsche Dealerships are greedy these days.
Also, you can try and negotiate and you will spec the car out to avoid the addendum.
But if they try to charge you an addendum just say you will speck it out 20k less than you would if they are trying to add a 10k addendum.
That way the dealership loses out on making a profit from your exclusive manufacture options. Dealerships make a profit off whatever options they can make you choose. They have a quota on options they are supposed to fill, I wish I knew the amount, but it is under 23k. As my salesman said nothing about the amount of options I had probably because I met the quota they needed.
ALSO, Meaning the less of these you have the less the dealership would make. if they decide to charge you an addendum, you can do what you will with the information I have provided heh heh.
If what I said previously is not enough. I spec'd my car to $143480, then out the door was 153950 after my T,T,L&F insurance packages.
I was not charged an addendum as well. I paid MSRP. in July 2023
It is still up to the owners and managers, but I would try everything you can to make sure you pay MSRP, so you can spend money on whatever packages you want.

And by March we'll have more clarity on the 992.2 - which probably will not include the T for a few years. If anything scarcity of the T will help fight depreciation. Right now it seems a few here can just head to a dealer and order one (not PG though). My T is just about to be parked for the winter. Already threw snow tires on the M3 for winter duty and will have the Urq ready too for deep snow days.

@arrivederci Yes, we are seeing what color was the most popular so far on what has been ordered. My bet is it will be between Black, Silver, Ice Grey. They are the safer options, classic options, and tried and true colors that work well on Porsche 911s, the Ruby Star, Blue, Gentian, Yellow, Carmine Red, will not be as popular because its a new color, to loud, too crazy of a color, or someone has not seen it in person ie cannot know if it will look as good as they hope.
