If your car was totally damaged on the Composer last month ... what have you heard from your SA / Porsche, or who ever about "now what"?
I'm concerned with the lack of chips, and other important parts which may not be available. I've heard nothing. ??

Well I was given a new allocation with a delivery in August & this was what the dealer manager also confirmed over the phone. All seemed ok with a freeze date in about 28 days via TYD. However, today my car disappeared on TYD! My SA has yet to get back to me about what happened.

Yeah ... I had a phone call from my SA asking if I wanted to add / subtract anything from my build. NO, just get it built !
No word since. No codes, no confirmation of when the car is going into production. Nothing,. The SA did say that he figured
the car may be here mid July / early August. But, I see there are many hold ups with chips, and other components. What
a mess this has turned out to be.
Wonder if anyone has any photos of the damaged cars??

I received a new confirmation for my build on 4/18 the day after my SA had to broke the bad news that my car was totaled. C2cab in GR with Black/ Mojave Beige, my original order was Carrera white with Black interior.

Almost a year wait.

6/9 lock
7/1 production
8/26 delivery

Call dealer and get confirmation # on rebuild allocation. Call PorscheNA and provide confirmation #. Ask that TYD be activated for your My
Porsche account. Took about 30+ days for my vehicle to appear in TYD. Options PCCB, PDCC and Aero reportedly unavailable.

I was “lucky”. Mine was slightly damaged and is to be fixed at the port. No word from anyone connected with Porsche on what was damaged and no word on the ETA. TYD shows 1/6/23

Are you going to seek “diminished value” compensation from Porsche arising from the loss in resale value because the vehicle was repaired following an accident?

I don't know this to be a fact, but I have heard that no repair needs to be disclosed if it is carried out before the Mulroney is printed. Do not remember the source but maybe someone smarter here knows if that's true or BS.

An interesting story: In 1998 my wife and I were picking up her latest A6 wagon and our SA had his just delivered '98 C2S being prepped in the shop (Porsche/Audi dealer at the time). It was a lease; I told him then I would buy it off the 3 year lease if he wasn't keeping it. Fast forward to 2001 and I bought it from him with 20K miles. Then in 2005, I sold it. One of the prospective buyers came over with a paint meter and asked about the repair. The right rear quarter panel was twice as thick as the rest of the car. I called my SA (who I had dealt with for 2 decades by then) and he sounded so surprised I would have believed him even if I hadn't before calling. There was no record of any body work on the car. He said "must have been repaired before we got it". Or maybe the painting wasn't as precise in the 993 era. But the readings were all within 1 mil on the rest of the car.

Just curious if you happen to know what a lease on a 993 was back then...

Keadog

No idea. But I paid $58K in 2001 on a car that stickered around $70 or so (maybe a little more; don't remember) and sold in 4 years later for $47K. I felt like it was a good deal at the time but...
Arena Red over grey; front and rear aero kits, aluminum gauges, M030, motor sound and turbo twist wheels. It might be worth a little more now.

Hard to say. The damage might be no big deal, but not knowing what it is makes it difficult to deal with.
