Does anyone have any information regarding a time line for orders placed Jul01 vs an expected build date for a 2010 997.2 ?? I understand summer holidays alter the start up timing for the new year builds. I'm also unclear if given the current state of affairs with Porsche could in some way hender the production schedules ??
thanks .

 

Things are slower in Zuffenhausen these days. Delays happen.

 

You know, you can edit your post.

 

OCBEN,
as a first time user to this post, I'm not sure I was not clear, but I'll summarize again ,, my order date was Jul01, for a 2010 997 2 when would a production date be expected ?? aug,.sep,oct ??

 

He meant your subject line refers to 977.2... when it should be 997.2

 

all dealers have received their allocations for the first 6 months of the '10 fiscal year (august thru january production). if your dealer can't give you a production month it means he doesn't have an allocation for the car you want. you should have an order reference number by now. if he can't give you one, find a better dealer.

 

Can't most dealers just ask for an extra allocation, how hard is that?

 

Nope, the dealers cannot just "ask" for another allocation. The system just does not work that way. They get what they get.

Dealers can "trade" open allocations amongst themselves tho.

 

Does "OC Ben" refer to Orange County where I assume you're from, or "Obsessive Compulsive Ben" which is more attuned to the tenor of some of your posts??

 

You're about the one thousandth poster who has posted that.

My pat answer is it stands for Ordinately Cerebral.

 

Oh Jeez, Ben. I'm a doc and still don't know what that means. Something to do with the brain, right? Probably some overlap with OCD.

 

Yeah, I'll buy that.

 

Most of the early build dates have been sold. We dont have chit for build cars till like dec or jan
