I get it. Too bad things we sometimes need have to be so far away to get quality work.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is it necessary to have a contract signed with the SA after your allocation is set? I put a deposit down and can track my build in TYD, but haven't signed a formal contract. I trust my SA and but curious to know if it's something I should bring up or just wait until my car is delivered before signing a contract and paying for the car.

exactly, unfortunately he is the best, but also really busy because he is the best and the people he uses for PPF, and cosmetic things like that are the best as well at what they do and if there is any mistakes he makes then redo it till it’s perfect, that is the type of person he is. In Albuquerque there is not many places that are at that level otherwise we would use them.

Great build but I'd ditch the puddle lights, the mirrors have a light beneath them, the puddle lights are on the bottom of the doors. Second, the power assist steering probably isn't needed either, if you decide you want it after you've driven the car, your dealer can do a flash install of the software to enable that option. I love my glass sunroof, really brightens up the cabin (Lizard Green Interior Pkg.) yours is black, it's going to be dark in there.

Scott P

There is a liner between the cabin and the glass roof that can be opened or closed that lets in very little sunlight.

Vernin

All I can show you is how my dealership did it, which I think would be a great way to do it as well
I got these documents signed, by my sales person, and the head of our dealership signed them

Shortseller

Is lane warning assist also flashable at a dealership?

Vernin

That might help a little, just like a sun reflector does in your windshield, but the UV rays and light still get trapped in between the glass and the black liner, which absorbs heat and still slowly heats up the car.

TheSunTheSea

Thanks! I signed the same thing although he only gave me a copy of the build sheet. So I can ask him for the copy of the dealer signed version for my own records

Vernin

I would highly advise that you keep any documentation physical and digital. Then make many many copies on your devices 😂 (can never be too careful)
These pieces of paper are the only thing that shows you legally paid for a custom car, and granted that you follow all the procedures, the Porsche dealership needs to deliver as promised your customized car as per the contract.
You can get him to get you a copy of it. I am shocked he did not provide you with one when going through the process.

Scott P

I don't believe so but those electronic "nannies" as I call them seem rather superfluous.

@Barkat03 Perhaps that's most likely because the real keen drivers who want engagement with their cars are on this thread and some with PDK don't enthuse about their cars so much less in some circumstances as pure petrol heads like many of the regulars here? Just a thought ? Best Devon Racer.

He gave me a copy of the build sheet, then a separate copy of the deposit I made. But since I ran my CC for the deposit it's just a credit card receipt. I do remember I signed something similar to the custom order form you had but I don't have it. So I'll make sure I get that from him

Vernin

I 100% agree with you. As my pops and I like to say, every extra electronic component like swivel lights, RWS, FAL, Lane keep, Lane change, power mirrors, and the others, is another thing that will break.
Didi I still get RWS and FAL because I would need and use them yes, but they are one more thing that will need maintenance and break at some point.

Vernin

Good stuff, Yeah I made sure my salesman gave me a copy of everything I signed. It's not that I don't trust them, but having their assurances on paper guarantees what they are saying.
Also with the stuff going on with dealerships lately its better to be safe then sorry
