Default 2011 on the Ship

I received an email from my sales manager that my 2011 C2 Coupe is on the ship as of May 12th, enroute to San Diego and should be at the Port sometime next month. That's the good news. Now the not so good news - He called his Porsche Rep., who said they will not be releasing any 2011 (997.2) until mid-summer, maybe end of July or August. However he also stated that Porsche changes it's mind daily.

Anyone heard anything different?

Congratulations---It will be worth the wait!

How about sharing some details (e.g., color, options)?

Did the MSRP stay the same?

Really don't know what the MSRP is at this point. Dealer's best quess is about $1000.00 more than on 2010,

I ordered a 2010 997.2 C2S with a June 2009 build. Porsche said that they would not be releasing any of the 2010 cars, except for customer builds. I picked up my car in November 2009. So you may want to double check with your salesperson.

The worst part is the waiting. Time goes by sooooo sloooow when you are waiting for your new "baby".

I ordered a 2011 C4S model as well. It comes out of production on June 16th and is meant to arrive at my dealer in Toronto mid July. Hope they don't hold mine upon arrival.

It's a great feeling to know it's close by. Perhaps Pasha (the stevedores) process the ordered customer cars more quickly. Are you in San Diego? Otherwise it has to marry up with a truck that covers the entire West coast.

I also ordered 2011 C2 in April. The rep told me that it will be built in mid June and deliver in mid July. I live in NYC. I am counting my calander everyday. In May I changed the exterior color from White to Artic silver, I am not sure how this will affect the delivery date. I traded my 2008 S550, had 6 mercedes before, now bored with mercedes, first time for porsche, I am really excited.

You bought a car without knowing the MSRP? I hope you struck a deal (for a price lower than MSRP) with the dealer before you ordered it...

Msrp in Canada is negligibly lower in all 911 models below the Turbo and GT cars for 2011. However it's always best to negotiate and lockdown your price when placing your order. I would think there would be minimal change in US prices as well for 2011.

Just got the call from the sales manager that my 2011 C2 is at the dealership and I'll going to pick it up after work tomorrow. Yea, baby!!

Orginally I was suppose to have a July build and a delivery in September (dealer is in the Pacific Northwest). But everything got moved up.

Reading this forum has really helped with the wait!!
