My SA said that MY2023 models will come with price increases...

 

Yeah, I think this is just how it is with the Aerokit now. It's disappointing but what can you do. When my dealer initially called to confirm my allocation a few weeks ago, he told me I would have to drop the Aerokit unless I wanted to wait. My car is currently scheduled for production on July 8th and I'm planning on factory delivery in early September. He initially told me adding the Aerokit would delay production by at least 2 months so I told him to delete it. I recently asked him if he could check one more time before the build is locked in mid June and he told me not only the Aerokit but several other options (I think Carbon Ceramic brakes, light weight glass and a few others which I didn't tick) were off the table if I wanted to do ED still this year, it just isn't an option. So I'm guessing the Aerokit is effectively EOL for 2022 cars.

 

Can you at least option the Sport Design front and rear bumpers?

Then later on, all you have to do is find the wing.

 

Nothing published that I know of but considering past practice and current market conditions, I think it would be a very bad bet to assume no price increase. In fact, I would be happy to put my money on there being an increase in MSRP in 2023 if you like to gamble.

Also consider that you are comparing the increased cost or retrofitting the aerokit (vs factory order) against a percentage increase over the entire car. Even a 5% increase in MSRP equates to $7,500 - $10,000.

 

Nice! My dealership is charging $450 total for the clear side markers and labor. They declined adding any third party radiator screens.

I might ask them to throw in some all-weather rubber mats and a Thermos. Not sure if they will go much further than that with free swag.

 

Your dealer is screwing you hard.

They are $138 for the pair and take 20 seconds to put in.

 

When you say your allocation was lost, did you have a commission number, freeze date, etc and it was just cancelled?

 

Hey I recognize you from the G80 forum - congrats on the GTS!

Really curious to hear your impressions on moving between the two as I'm on the precipice of making the jump myself.

 

Yeah they are! They might as well just spit in his face too. Unreal!

 

I currently have a GTS Aerokit build with a 7/7 freeze and start of production 7/29. Fingers crossed we see those dates without further delays. But my allocation was given out back in December, so I definitely have seen the delays caused by that option (as well as a few others).

 

My dealer is doing the clear light side marker swap for free at the time of pickup. You should push back.

 

Correct had all that info and TYD access… it was legit order and locked and had the option to remove aerokit and get the car built “before 2021 assembly line closed” or have order be canceled.

 

Interesting...as I stated in a previous post I've had a GTS allocation since Dec. Aerokit was accepted and original delivery was August...I added a few more options a month ago (ones with known delays) that took and the delivery was pushed back to October, but at least it didn't reject the order. I thought I was still good because it never kicked the order out and I am fine with the delay as long as I get what I want...but your situation has me worried I am riding the edge of the end of MY22 production and any further delays might have me in the same boat as you were previously...

 

I still have the G80 ... Its a great car as well. Two different cars that serve different purposes- a 4 door sport sedan than can handle well vs a more focused driver. The day I want the GT cruiser, I roll the G80X or my M8 and the day I want brilliant chassis and steering machine along with a great sounding flat 6; I take the GTS. I had a GTS (2018) before this along with 7 other 911's so Im not new to this game but still have alot of work to do.

I posted a full comparo at the G80 Bimmerpost forum in the "versus" section.

 

WTF...Yeah, will certainly push back.

Which NorCal dealership are you working with, btw? Would be helpful if I can reference them.
